Steve’s passion for writing began at a very tender age, and his first ever completed story was done during an English lesson. However, after reading the novel, Steve was compelled to talk to the school’s head teacher for almost one year, due to the bad language and violent content in the book. Steve’s next story was One Boy. This time the teachers loved the story so much that it got him an A. However, it took Steve nearly a decade before he started working on a full-length novel. The result was Crime against Magic, and the book is available on Amazon. Steve McHugh was born in the small village of Mexborough, Yorkshire. However, at the moment, Steve McHugh lives with his lovely wife and three daughters in Southampton.

Previously, Nathan was born again and had a successful life. Now, he is lying on the floor of a warehouse, remembering all the iota about his past life. Nathan’s life ever since has been a quiet one; thus many at times he did not alert those who surrounded him. However, he, later on, came to discover that there was a group of people who not only knew about his lost identity but are also out for his blood. Furthermore, Steve discovers that the same people are also after his neighbor’s young daughters.
In another scene, the author takes us to the fifteenth century where Steve is on a mission to retrieve a few soldiers and a young girl, from a gang of supernaturals who not only kill without any remorse but also refuse to die easily.

One day, Nathan’s friend approaches him to ask for his assistance in an investigation that he had been conducting. He reluctantly agrees to assist him with the investigation. However, when they were conducting their investigations, they are led to a supernatural serial killer who is made up of pure evil, hatred, and malevolence. There are certain things that a 1,600-year-old sorcerer does not have the strength or will challenge. However, when the evil begins to challenge the people that he cares about his enemies are going to discover who Nathan is.
