About the Author

Stephen Drake was born in Surrey in 1970 and was diagnosed with OCD in 1989, having spent periods in jail due to the condition. Further custody followed as stress heightened his obsessions. In 2006 Stephen wrote his first book entitled 'A Cry For Help' as a way of expressing his problems and changing his wayward course. 'A Cry For Ever' followed a year later, having been encouraged by benefits from his first book.

Book Extract

When Charlie stirred, it was almost midday.
"Why the hell am I on the floor?" he moaned.
It only took a split second for reality to strike. "Colin.. oh fuck," he muttered.
He clambered to his feet.
"I've got to get up sometime, so it might as well be now."
A piece of crumpled paper, covered in scruffy writing, rested on the chair.
"Didn't want to wake you. Ring me if you need anything. See you tonight. Linda"
He tossed the note onto the floor and headed for the kitchen.
