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 !
