My Elvis Blackout is officially released on 26 December. Please drop me a line if you'd like a review copy. And there's not long to wait if you're eager to buy one. Jon McGregor has written us a fantastic introduction.

Watch this space too for details about buying advance copies...

In the meantime, to whet your appetite, follow this link to read the current, fantastic edition of Words With Jam. We're on page 21. And take the time to subscribe - they're fantastic supporters of quality writing and of small presses.

And click here to hear a reading of one Valleyville from My Elvis Blackout. Have a scoot around Simon's site while you're there. Unsurprisingly, it contains a lot of great writing. And some weird shit about guitars.
