The Millennium Trilogy with its misfit heroine Lisbeth Salander is a great read from start to finish. I wondered if I could create an interesting heroine who was physically more capable and more attractive. My imagination ran riot when  I mentally merged the looks of a gorgeous dancer I once encountered with the skills of a deadly female WW2 French Resistance agent I had read about who killed her enemies with her bare hands. The result is my heroine Sam Smith: beautiful but deadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s all the fault of my daughter, the best selling author <a href=\"http:\/\/juleswake.co.uk\/\">Jules Wake<\/a>, for inspiring me (or perhaps ordering me might be more accurate) to get my ideas down on paper, while recovering from a broken foot. I can honestly claim that I actually taught my daughter to write, but as she was only four years old at the time, sadly I cannot claim credit for her literary style and subsequent success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far there are six books in the Sam Smith series.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/guyrolands.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Photo-Guy-Caplin-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219\" style=\"width:233px;height:257px\" width=\"233\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/guyrolands.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Photo-Guy-Caplin-1.jpg 745w, https:\/\/guyrolands.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Photo-Guy-Caplin-1-272x300.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>  <\/p>\n\n\n<p>[youtube     title=&#8221;&#8221;    video=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/nDkLLsXxCDk&#8221;    autohide=&#8221;2&#8243;    color=&#8221;red&#8221;    controls=&#8221;1&#8243;    iv_load_policy=&#8221;3&#8243;    theme=&#8221;dark&#8221;    quality=&#8221;large&#8221;    button_layout=&#8221;default&#8221;    button_theme=&#8221;default&#8221;    button_subscriber_count=&#8221;hidden&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author of the Sam Smith Adventure Series I&#8217;m a great admirer of the books of the Stieg Larsson.
