La La La! You can pre-order my new book, all about Kylie, right NOW. It's out in September and will have a lovely iridescent cover. Obviously I will be banging on about it for a long time, but she's finally here! linktr.ee/cantgetyouou...

A 10/10, chilly-winter-evening-playing-cards-and-losing-but-itβs-fine-actually album

Kevin Killian was obsessed with Kylie, so the announcement of his new poetry collection just as I was finishing my Kylie book, felt like a sign. I interviewed some of his friends for this here piece: www.theguardian.com/books/2025/d...

The book is currently 99p on Kindle, which feels sort of insulting, but hey ho. I would say it's def worth that!
Here I am talking about Five and Max Martin, while wearing a Steps jumper. If you want to read more about all this you can in my award-winning Reach For the Stars, which has been out for a while now but doesn't age, much like J from Five: amzn.eu/d/aHIvklx
