Great review of my novel, "Body and Soul" by @unclekins.bsky.social here at unclekins.wordpress.com/2026/02/19/b...
This morning will be spent signing the 'cinema tickets' which will accompany the first 200 orders of my book on the film, "Union City". It's getting real, folks.
We don't often publish full-length poetry collections so, when we do, you know it's 👌
Pre-order via link in bio.

Fantastic! Many thanks for posting this.
I seem to be nominated for a book award, together with @authoramyorrell.bsky.social also published by @elsewhen.press !
New blog post about my forthcoming book on "Union City", the 1980 movie which starred Deborah Harry (and was scored by Chris Stein) from @officialblondiefan.bsky.social andrew-hook.blogspot.com/2026/01/unio...
I'm absolutely delighted to announce that my book on the 1980 film, "Union City", starring Deborah Harry of Blondie, is now available to pre-order. This work was a labour of love for me, and contains predominantly original interviews with most of the cast and crew. #blondie

Our three newest titles are now available for pre-order at salopress.com 🤩
As a tiny tiny independent publisher running this thing on limited funds, from our dining room, we are grateful for every single order.
Thank you all for the support so far.
For those who've read (and hopefully enjoyed) "Body and Soul" can I ask if you have a moment to pop a review wherever it might matter. Published by @elsewhen.press
In other news: pre-orders for another book I've had in the pipeline for a while will be available from next Friday, so I've been told.
Just finished Body and Soul by @andrewhook.bsky.social and published by @elsewhen.press.
This is such a beautiful book! Post-apocalyptic sci-fi with a literary bent. I know it will stay with me for a long time.

Last read, current read. Punchy, fast-paced, and thought provoking space opera from @garethlpowell.bsky.social and beguiling, post-apocalyptic, literary science fiction from @andrewhook.bsky.social. 💙

I highly recommend this collection of literary short stories. Check it out!

Hopefully some good recommendations for you!
In my final blog post of the year I go overboard discussing my favourite books/movies/music I read/watched/listened to in 2025.

Thanks. And yet it feels like I haven't done enough this year. As it feels every year!
