1) This week's writing progress: 2) Appearing at Amazon Academy in Edinburgh, representing The Alliance of Independent Authors: 3) I did a bit of author research this week! One of the characters in my Don't Tell Meg trilogy is a clairvoyant, Steven Terry. He's only a minor character, but I like writing him, so I wanted to dig a little deeper!   4) I'm hoping to hit two targets by May 31st. My first target was to achieve 100k page reads this month - this target has been hit: I am also hoping to break $1000 in book earnings this month - and become a 4-figure author at long last. Finally, I'm hoping to hit my highest number of podcast downloads in one month by the end of May - I'd like to hit the 3000 downloads mark if I can. 5) My guest blog post for Ingram Spark: http://www.ingramspark.com/blog/email-marketing-for-authors 6) My first author booking for March 2018 is for the Crime & Publishment event: https://www.facebook.com/CrimePublishment/ 7) New Writing North: http://newwritingnorth.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/self-publishing-journeys/message

An avid fan of crime fiction since being given one of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five books at the age of eight, Graham Smith has also been a regular reviewer for the well respected review site Crimesquad.com for over two years. As well as reviewing for Crimesquad.com Graham has also interviewed such stellar names as David Baldacci, Jeffrey Deaver, Dennis Lehane, Lee Child, Matt Hilton, current CWA Chair Peter James, Mark Billingham and many others. After (what Graham describes) a few terrible drafts littered with amateurish mistakes, he managed to write a book good enough secure a publishing contract with Caffeine Nights for his debut novel. He is the author of four books featuring DI harry Evans and the Cumbrian Major Crimes Team. Graham's latest book - Watching The Bodies - is released the day after this episode goes live :-) Graham's website: https://www.grahamsmithauthor.com/ Follow Graham on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/grahamnsmithauthor Follow Graham on Twitter: https://twitter.com/grahamsmith1972 Graham's Blogspot site: http://grahamsmithwriter.blogspot.co.uk/?zx=2406007d4e2370d6 Graham's Amazon Author page: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Graham-Smith/e/B006FTIBBU Graham's Goodreads page: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/66851.Graham_Smith Graham on Bloodhound books: http://www.bloodhoundbooks.com/graham-smith/ Graham Smith on Caffeine Nights: http://www.caffeinenights.com/graham-smith Crime and Publishment event: http://www.crimeandpublishment.co.uk/ CrimeSquad: http://crimesquad.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/self-publishing-journeys/message
