Ian Merrill

Ian Merrill (born 4 April 1965) is a British author, journalist and artist.

Ian Merrill started his career in publishing at Dorling Kindersley, HarperCollins, and ''The Wall Street Journal'' in Brussels. Returning to London, he became a full-time journalist writing freelance for ''The Independent'', ''LA Weekly'', ''The Insider'' and others. At the same time he co-authored an online satirical magazine called ''Fabgirl'' with Matthew Wakefield.

In 2001, he moved to France with his wife and two children. His first book, ''Coq & Bull - Going Mad in Normandy'', was published in 2004. In 2007 he published the psychological novel, ''She Eats Souls''.

''Who Wants the World: Alternative Ambitions for the Disillusioned'', was published in 2013 and described as the 'antithesis of the traditional self-help genre of positive affirmations'. Merrill claims there is a magic spell, or cosmic truth, buried within the text that is for the reader to investigate. Provided by Wikipedia
