In August 1977 the world stopped when Elvis Presley passed away.

Mike Sanchez: Big Town Playboy with foreword by Robert Plant is due to hit the shelves today or tomorrow. On Monday I was signing flyers for the book at a Jeff Beck gig in Manchester where Mike Sanchez opened the show!

My latest book, Mike Sanchez: Big Town Playboy is now with the printers awaiting first proof. The foreword has been hand written by Robert Plant and the man himself (Mike Sanchez) is just about to embark on a series of UK dates including six shows opening for Jeff Beck at the Royal Albert Hall etc. Mike has shared a stage with Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood and many more great names.

Just about to sign a publishing deal for my latest book Mike Sanchez - Big Town Playboy due to reach the shops early 2014. Very excited at my debut publishing deal.

What is your strategy for using free KDP Select days around Christmas? Before, so Kindles can be preloaded, or after when the new recipient of a Kindle is downloading anything and everything?

Just had an interesting thought. After lost of fun with Stags! and Mmm...No1...Cookbook on Kindle - should I release Ole And Zac And The Port Of Tumbattle too? Is it easy to release to Kindle Fire? Any ideas?

"I'd love to download Stags! but I havent got a Kindle" I hear you scream, but there are free Kindle apps for iphone, ipad, etc, so go on, it costs nothing, and you can be a part of the incredible journey of this bestseller. I would love to be able to sign everyone's Kindle, but thats not really practical, so I am giving away signed postcards to the first 100 who message me to celebrate getting to number 1.

Im almost an Amazon bestseller! Stags! doing ok in US but doing wonderfully well in UK. Up to number 16 in Free Kindle store and number 2 in Free Kindle Humour. Its still free all weekend! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stags-ebook/d...

Stags! now available FREE on Kindle until May 21st. "The LOL book for blokes (and their women)" or "Drinking, Football, Women. A hilarious window into the world of blokes being blokes". You decide. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stags-ebook/d...

Interested to know of any successes or failures attributed to offering free books via KDP Select. What worked and what didn't?

What a pleasant surprise this morning. Mmm...No1...Cookbook has not only managed to stay in the top 100 overnight - its also moved up to number 54. Zoomed ahead of Heston Blumenthal's biography! With YOUR help I could get into the top 50! XXX http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mmm-No1-Cookb...

Mmm...No1...Cookbook in top 100 Kindle food & drink (UK). Ahead 0f Madhur Jaffrey and Raymond Blanc! Earlier today it was nudging into the top 100 just behind Gordon Ramsey, but now Ramsey's nowhere to be seen! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mmm-No1-Cookb...

It was wet last night! If you like cricket the Whaley Bridge Under 13s match report from last night can now be found at http://www.whaleybridgecc.co.uk

Nursing a torn cartilage and wondering why Amazon doesnt allow reviews to be posted across multiple sites. Stags! has 11 positive reviews on Kindle in UK (ok so one of them is mine!) but none in the US.

Reviewing the proofs of Mmm...No1...Cookbook. Out soon in paperback and Kindle. Heaps of praise to Createspace.
