Author biography
As a psychiatric nurse, Sam Smith has had direct professional experience of criminal psychosis, convincingly portrayed in his first novel for Online Originals, Sister Blister. Before that he was a residential social worker, milkman, plumber, laboratory analyst, groundsman, sailor, computer operator, scaffolder, gardener, painter and decorator -- working at anything, in fact, which paid the rent, enabled him to raise his three daughters and didn't get too much in the way of his writing. The author of four poetry collections, he is also editor of The Journal (once called The Journal of Contemporary Anglo-Scandinavian Poetry). |
