This #WorldBookDay, it's 56 days until publication for When the Music Fades, probably the first book to combine extensive reference to Delirious? songs with a balanced critique of "fire tunnels", an Emo Phillips joke and quotations from Cold Comfort Farm canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978178...
When the Music Fades will be out at the end of April and can be pre ordered here canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978178...

My book about Soul Survivor, charismatic evangelicalism, teenagerhood and spiritual abuse is fully drafted and has gone to the publishers. Out in 2026. I'm so excited about not writing it any more
