An extract from Justin Currie's Tremolo Diaries

Fun to see a passing mention of my (other) Simple Minds book, Themes For Great Cities, in Justin Currie's The Tremolo Diaries - which I'm enjoying dipping in and out of.

A bookseller at Archway Books in Axminster stands next to a stack of pre-ordered and packaged copies of Our Secrets Are The Same which is as tall as her. She holds a copy of the book.

Also love this photo posted on IG over the weekend by Archway Books in Axminster. Over 70 preordered copies of Our Secrets Are The Same packed up ready to be sent out.

A book I didn't know existed that I need in my life. Love Simple Minds. 💙
