I am the author of the Tree of Life series of fantasy books and the This Sacred Isle, which was released in October 2016. The novels are all available to purchase in e-book and paperback formats. I publish my books through my monster field press imprint. I am currently in the planning stages of my next novel, a SF story called 'Second Sun'.

I have a degree in Law from the University of Central Lancashire, and a Higher Education Diploma in Psychology from the Open University.

Aside from writing, I enjoy reading a wide range of books, watching films, visiting museums and art galleries, and spending time with family and friends. I also support Ipswich Town Football Club - sadly not always an enjoyable experience...

The Midwich of the novel is a small, unremarkable English village, but everythi Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Steven Smith  (?)

“The waves tossed Vortigern around like a rag doll. Seaweed entangled his legs and salt water blurred his vision. Weighed down by his sodden clothes, he waded the last few yards to the beach. The waves kept pulling him back but with a huge effort he broke free of their grip and collapsed onto the damp sand. There he lay, fighting for breath as the foamy surf lapped around his legs. The sound of the sea’s constant wash and drag filled his ears.”
Steven Smith, The Map of the Known World
