Sam Smith Characters #1
Dr Alan Storey
Dr Alan Storey provides the relationship strand to the Sam Smith Mystery Series. Alan is a psychologist who practices Humanistic principles, that is a belief in the positive attributes of happiness, contentment, ecstasy, kindness, caring, sharing and generosity. Humanists focus on the individual, especially the concept of personal choice.
Humanistic Psychology developed in the 1960s and it differs from other branches of psychology in that the psychologist acts as a confident or counsellor and the client (not ‘patient’) must consciously and rationally decide for themselves what is wrong and how the problem should be addressed.
In his early forties, Alan is a widower with a teenage daughter, Alis. As well as the romantic element, Alan also provides psychological insight, when required, on the various people Sam encounters. Although there is a ‘whodunit’ element to the series, I like to focus more on people’s behaviours and reasons for their actions.

It’s a great feeling when you connect with a reader and you discover that they enjoyed your book. Received this wonderful review for Sam’s Song on amazon.co.uk today.
“Gripping storyline, well written with no typographical or grammatical errors that you usually find in ebooks. A pleasant read and a well developed character who is likeable. I’m so impressed I just bought book 2. I will definitely keep an eye out for this author, even in print versions of books.”
