Two Weeks To Release (in the UK at least) …

Posted on August 19, 2026September 14, 2026 By Priptona No Comments on Two Weeks To Release (in the UK at least) …

That’s right! The IMMINENT release of my book: Simple Minds – Song by Song is fast approaching its UK release. Yes…you read that correctly…the UK release. Because, I have found out in the past couple of weeks that it is also getting a U.S. release! Exciting! It will also be available in Canada too.

So, for the UK the release date is Wednesday 30 September – just TWO WEEKS away!!

For the U.S. there’ll be a slightly later release date of Monday 30 November – which just so happens to be St. Andrew’s Day in Scotland and I’ll be making my way back home from Newcastle having seen Del Amitri the night before.

If you haven’t already pre-ordered and would like to, here are the links you need:

  • Amazon UK
  • Blackwells (UK)
  • Foyles (UK)
  • Waterstones (UK)
  • Amazon USA
  • Barnes & Noble (USA)
  • Amazon Canada (release date shows as 14 December)
  • Indigo (Canada)

You can’t accuse me of not providing you with choice as to where to buy! Lol.

*P.S. If you see a discrepancy in the name on the cover, they were initially going to print my full name on the cover, but I have requested my first and last name only to be printed. My middle name won’t appear on the final printed copy.

As for Australia – well, Dymocks show it in the search results of its ISBN 13: 9781036156923 (or by searching my name) but it doesn’t have its own landing page. If I try to click on the book from the search results, it just loads the page of the entire ‘general music’ category of books. Seemingly from the search results it can be pre-ordered but because there is no landing page for the book itself, I can’t see the release date. As a result of what’s happening, I am not going to list it yet. It doesn’t show up on Amazon in Australia, so that’s gonna have to wait.

I genuinely cannot believe I am going to have a book out in six weeks time. It’s crazy! I’m very proud of it and I hope all of you guys will really enjoy it. Thank you all so much for pre-ordering already. It means so much.

TWO WEEKS AND COUNTING DOWN!
