I'm looking forward to this year's London Book Fair. I haven't studied the programme yet, but it's always good. This year it runs from the 10th to the 12th of April, at Olympia, London.

Some years ago I promised myself that one of these years I would be part of a panel talking about my Amazon self-publishing success. I haven't reached that stage yet, but I have reached the point of having published a Kindle book, and being about to bring out a paperback version of it and, hopefully soon, an audiobook version.

The point is, it was the LBF that inspired me to get on with it. I always find, especially if my despondency and self-doubt indexes start to rise, that a visit to the LBF gives me the boost (aka kick up the backside) I need.

Here's the link: London Book Fair. If you belong to the UK's Society of Authors, tickets may be bought for half-price.

Don't forget to download the app too: it's pretty useful
