A shameless plug for one of my books, which has just been published in an e-book edition. For 40+ years I’ve been a fan of live guitar-based music, and my adopted home town of Bedford has long had an impressive pub-centred live music scene. In 2008 I published Guitar Gods in Beds. (Bedfordshire: a heavenly county), the biographies of eight local ‘Guitar Gods’, as told in their own (often colourful) words.

The book’s now available on all e-readers – or will be shortly – and on Amazon UK it’s selling for just £2.58 – here. You don’t need a Kindle to read it, just download the excellent (and free) Kindle reading software from Amazon. If you click on ‘Look Inside’ you’ll see the book’s plate section (16 photographs) including a photograph of Thunderin’ Paul Carrington and myself by the sign for the village of Pratz, in the Jura region of France. Paul was the unintended star of my travelogue Two Men in a Car (a businessman, a chauffeur, and their holidays in France), also available in an e-book edition. A sample chapter from that book is contained in the new e-book of Guitar Gods in Beds. It’s titled, ‘Would you like to have sex with my wife?’ Happy days…

A final plug. If you’d like to learn about self-publishing (whether in hardback, paperback, or e-book editions) you’ll learn all you need to know from my book The Joy of Self-Publishing.
