Meet the Author

I am the author of science fiction/space fantasy novels.I have always loved science fiction movies and books and have wanted to write a novel for years. As a teenager I used to get great ideas for story lines in my head and I would try to write them down but I didn't have the knowledge to make them into a book. Now here I am at fifty and I have two novels now available. All things at the right moment huh?As a psychic medium my stories all contain a strong spiritual thread, with both the living, physical world and the spiritual world blending and inter connecting. Those who know me through my work as a medium have often asked me why I don't write a spiritual book. Well I have, but it's entwined within a science fiction/space opera story line.The process of writing is, for me, entirely intuitive and all of my characters and plot lines come to me intuitively. I don't plan my books other than to have an idea of what I want to be the 'main event' in the story. Once I have that, I just sit and begin to write and pretty soon the story and characters take over control and build it themselves. I often say that I don't write my books, I just take dictation from the characters!I am autistic and have a unique capacity for annoying and offending people, none of which is deliberate by the way. I really am a nice person but sometimes I just don't know how to show you that effectively.

    TOP CLASS!!

    This book is set in a futuristic world where travelling from planet to planet and even between planetary systems is an everyday occurrence. The main character, Farra, is chosen for a task which will require courage and self sacrifice. Having grown up during the reconstruction on earth and then joined the deep space core of the military, she is well suited for the job. The other protagonist, Vincent, also survived a life of hardship to prepare him for the monumental task which he must perform. Separately these two characters journey from destination to destination to reach their ultimate common goal which had been prophesied many centuries before. The idiom which came to mind while I was reading the story was: 'one good turn deserves another'. Both main characters show remarkable bravery, self sacrifice and a willingness to help others. This gains them the help and gratitude of the Drycenian nation and numerous others. Yet, despite their positive actions, they are still the victims of jealousy, revenge and suspicion. Although this book has a healthy dose of the usual technology and phenomena common in most space science fiction books, the author masterfully balanced it with a very appealing, unique and original setting. All the characters are human with slightly differing powers and physiology, and not the weird beings so common in many space fantasy books. The characters are interesting and well defined; the good guys highly likable and the bad guys really quite revolting and self-serving. It is a story so full of action, adventure and suspense that I just kept on reading. There are some truly beautiful, insightful moments when I found myself smiling and, sometimes, wiping tears away. The frequent changes in point of view, keeps the reader in the loop; always aware of what is happening on all fronts. I would highly recommend this book to young and old as a futuristic book with a unique flavor. It deserves every one of the 5 stars I am giving it and I am looking forward to reading more books by Merita King. (Ellen Fritz)

    I find it off-putting that the review for this book is written without any capitalization. That alone makes me want to not read this book.
