About the author
Steven Smith
19 books1 followerI 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...
I live in Suffolk, England with my wife, daughter and cat.
