My name is Stephen Harrington, and I'm an author based in London, UK. When I’m not working or writing, you can usually find me on the floor with my dogs or tinkering with a half-finished musical instrument.

I’ve always loved good stories. Growing up on Ray Bradbury, Tolkien, and Stephen King gave me a lifelong taste for imaginative worlds and the kind of characters who stay with you long after the last page.

For the past fourteen years, I’ve been writing The Youngling Trilogy, a dark fantasy series that follows a girl named Synesthesia across two intertwined worlds, the Midgarden and the Manheim.

A quick note for new readers

The Youngling was written as a true trilogy, with each book deliberately building on the last. Book One lays the foundation, Book Two expands the scope, and Book Three brings everything together.

I’ve been really touched by messages from readers who stuck with the journey and found the payoff worth it.

Stephen Harrington liked Lotus's review of Talos: "An atmospheric and unsettling chronicle of a terraforming mission to the planet Talos, with a deliberate tension that builds slowly.

Surprisingly readable and entertaining. Maybe a strange thing to say of a classic, but I was expecting this to be a much heavier read than it was. It also feels a lot more modern than it should given it's age. There is a lot of focus on inner turmoil ...more
