Steve Merrifield
Biography
Welcome to my space on the Internet! I write fiction within the horror genre and have written e-book titles that are available for free download on the internet as well as commercial releases.
For those of you that would like to know a little about me; I live in Essex in the UK with my partner and our two cats. I work for the health service with people with mental health issues, and I am trained as a counsellor in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My private practice is on hold at the moment while I concentrate on my writing.
Personally I am a sociable person, although many of my friends now live out of the area now, but I enjoy catching up with friends over a cup of tea and a cake when I can. I enjoy being out in the countryside on long walks. I am a fairly homely person and in my spare time I love films, TV, reading, and games, and I also have a burgeoning interest in history, mainly British history, Victorian, and the history of London, and folklore in general.
My main interest though, as you probably guessed, is writing. I have attempted the traditional publishing routes, but have yet to get past the enquiry letter with agents or publishers. It's a tough market. I have not given up though and I have decided to self-publish.
Being self-published there isn't a publishing house behind my work and that means; no launch, no big advertising campaign, no reviews in the press, and no shelf-position in your local book shop or library. I'm grateful even for a small audience because people would have given me their valuable time to read the work of a new writer. However, I want writing, my interest and hobby, to play a larger part in my life. For that to happen I need to achieve a greater readership. My work and I need your support. All I ask is that you read it, rate it, and recommend it to others. It would also be nice if you stuck around to see what happens in the future...
I have my own site, and I am on twitter and facebook and welcome your comments and support come and say 'Hi'!
