A nice surprise to hear my book mentioned on BBC Radio 2’s Jo Whiley show last night.
Working on it.
From fan, to podcast host, to Sunday Times bestselling author!
I’m absolutely blown away that Paul Weller: Dancing Through the Fire: The Authorised Oral History has entered the Sunday Times Bestseller list this week - the fifth biggest-selling hardback nonfiction book in the UK.
Thanks so much!
What a weekend 🙌 Paul Weller: Dancing Through the Fire hit Amazon Best Seller status - #34 out of ALL books in the UK! Truly mad & wonderful.
Now reviews are key - they help others discover the book & are priceless for authors. You can add one on Amazon even if you didn’t buy there ❤️📚
Blown away! My book is already #57 overall on Amazon UK, #12 in Movers & Shakers & #1 in multiple music categories.
Every sale between now and midnight on Saturday counts for the official BookScan chart - thank you so much to everyone supporting it.

Hi Dan. The book has landed (with a thump). It's a mighty tome indeed.
Really looking forward to working my way through it. We're away for a few days next week - luckily we're driving and not flying, as the book would've taken up a chunk of our baggage allowance. 😆
Brilliant ! Enjoy Alex !
