I'm absolutely delighted to announce that my book on the 1980 film, "Union City", starring Deborah Harry of Blondie, is now available to pre-order. This work was a labour of love for me, and contains predominantly original interviews with most of the cast and crew. #blondie

For those who've read (and hopefully enjoyed) "Body and Soul" can I ask if you have a moment to pop a review wherever it might matter. Published by @elsewhen.press
In other news: pre-orders for another book I've had in the pipeline for a while will be available from next Friday, so I've been told.

Just finished Body and Soul by @andrewhook.bsky.social and published by @elsewhen.press.
This is such a beautiful book! Post-apocalyptic sci-fi with a literary bent. I know it will stay with me for a long time.
