Steve Merrifled has been keenly interested in writing for as long as he can remember, and he states rather poetically, “that like so many amateur wannabe writer's I have yet to get passed the enquiry letter stage with literary agents or publishers.” When asked by Globusz Publishing why he was willing to give his work away free he said, “Instead of leaving my work unread on the PC I decided to not let the ‘No Thank You’ letters from mainstream publishing houses be a dead end for my work and I would have some fun with it and self-publish, and share it with people who will hopefully offer me some helpful feedback
Steve was born in 1978 and lives in Westcliff-on-Sea in Essex, with his partner and their two cats. His day job is working for the NHS/Adult & Community Services providing therapeutic groups for people with mental health issues. Steve’s training and experience have paved the way for him to recently establish his own practice in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. He hopes this venture will allow him to balance his professional work with regular writing projects. He says if his business is successful he will earn enough money to pay his bill, write often and still have time to drink tea and eat cake.
Merrifled says he is a pretty sociable person who enjoys catching up with friends, but he is primarily a home loving guy. His favourite pastimes include watching films and TV. He has a passion for reading, especially British history. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Halloween and Hellraiser top his best-film list. The Rats, The Stand, It, At Swim Two Boys, The Walking Dead head up his favourite book collection, while Doctor Who, Spooks, West Wing and Supernatural are his favourite TV shows.
Steve has a personal message to readers: “Please download my work and send me your feedback and constructive comments. However, constructive does not mean I want to hear that my work 'sucks' or is 'shit', I want to hear why it 'sucks' or is 'shit'. I would also appreciate a bit of help in getting more people to read my work, so if you click on the pass it on link above I have a few suggestions on how you could help with that. I also live in the vain hope that one of you people out there might know, or mention my site and work to someone else that might know, an agent or publisher and get their interest too!”

Craig Digby lives in a high-rise block of flats, one of three towers that make up the Heights estate at the heart of Camden. He is striving to make a life for himself away from a stifling family business and the shadow of his dutiful and successful older brother. It will soon become a struggle for survival. Unbeknownst to the residents of the estate, the construction of the towers and their number were influenced by a long-forgotten landmark. Lightning strikes Craig's tower and completes a ritual started two-thousand years ago.
Something stirs beneath the tower.
Loving parents find that one of their children has been taken from her room.
The front door is locked. The flat is nine storeys up.
It is only the beginning.
A terrible some-thing has been created. It stalks the corridors and minds of those living in the building. In the days and weeks that follow, more children inexplicably disappear, spontaneous acts of murderous violence break out, and there are mysterious deaths. Craig and a handful of disparate locals realise the true nature of the force that moves among them. They must overcome their personal beliefs, conflicts and fears to unite against an evil that can reach into homes, control minds and corrupt flesh, for they alone realise the true nature of what is happening and only they can stop the Harvest.
 
Martin Roberts has made a successful career from painting, but is finding that his creativity is slipping away - stifled by his family life. That is until he is responsible for running a teenage girl down in his car.
Miraculously the girl survives, but stranger than her lack of injuries is her striking physical appearance; stark white hair and skin, and jet black eyes. Being mute her condition and background remains a mystery, but when a black blind man arrives to collect her from the hospital Martin learns that she is a prostitute and that he is her pimp.
It should have been the last Martin saw of Ivory, but he finds that he is haunted by her look, she has stoked the embers of his creativity and he realizes he must paint her. He seeks her out in London's streets of vice, facing dangers of this world and another, pursuing an obsession that he learns has led to the deaths of countless others before him.
