Episode 111: Graham Smith [Take 2]

Episode 111, release date Monday 9th April, 2018

Graham Smith is the best selling author of the DI Harry Evans series and the Jake Boulder novels.

He publishes his Harry Evans series with Caffeine Nights and the Jake Boulder series with Bloodhound Books.

He's had an amazing year in 2018 and pumping out books left, right and centre at the same time as managing a very busy wedding venue on the Scotland/England border.

Graham is the founder and organiser o the annual Crime and Publishment event which takes place near Gretna every March.

I caught up with Graham on the eve of this year's event, sitting in the bar of the hotel.

Just a warning that you'll hear the f-word in this interview, in the context of a quotation – and there were a couple of blips with the audio quality from my portable recorder, which I'll try to get to the bottom of before I use it next time – however, they only pop up every now and then and don't detract from the interview.
