I had a great time chatting with Pia Lindstrom on Book Radio about my book DARKROOM.
We delved a great deal into the book, my career, my personal history. Hope you’ll give it a listen!
Ms. Lindstrom is a wonderful host who made the interview lively and entertaining (for me, especially.)
Joshua Graham on XM Sirius Radio (Pia Lindstrom Presents) [ 25:19 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadI did a radio interview on WMPC, 1230 AM for a show called “Off the Bookshelf.” It was a brief but enjoyable time in which we discussed my journey into becoming a writer and my latest thriller DARKROOM.
Hope you’ll give it a listen.
when I was younger, as you can imagine, one of my favorite superheroes was Superman because he was practically invulnerable. He didn’t have to be afraid of anyone or anything. And he had amazing strength—you know, “able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, able to stop a locomotive with his bare hands…” and all along, he was a mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent.
Every boy wanted to be superman, right? But one thing I never thought too much about was his one weakness, his “Achilles’ Heel” so to speak: Kryptonite. Darn! There was something that could bring the Man of Steel down. Something that could render this near demigod feeble, even kill him. Not the perfect hero after all. It turns out, this made for a great fictional character. Not so great for superman, but great for stories.
We had a great time at the DARKROOM online launch party, and as promised, we would announce the winner here on my blog.
DTMEDIA ran the drawing and have informed me of the winners, and here they are!

Yesterday had to have been one of the most exciting days of my life, ranking up there with my wedding, the birth of my children and selling my first book to Howard Books/Simon & Schuster. I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous about how things would go on the first day of DARKROOM’s release, but even before I could start worrying, tons of reviews, blog posts, interviews, and other such things related to DARKROOM started to flood the internet.
Here’s a recap of some of yesterday’s highlights…
As writer, you always hope and pray that your new book will be well-received. Sometimes by the early reader reactions and reviews you get an idea, but opening day can still be as spine-tingling as it is fun. One of the things I look to (for better or for worse) is how my new book is doing in the rankings at various outlets. Thankfully, Amazon.com provides fairly timely statistics in the area of book sales.
I’m pleased to report that DARKROOM hit not one, not two, but three bestseller lists last night.
