My literary biography of Alan Moore, three years in the making, is now available for pre-order from all good bookshops, including Amazon UK and Amazon US. Books-a-Million, Barnes and Noble, Powells, Book Depository, Waterstones.
It will be published on the 7 November 2013 by Aurum Press, and it charts the work and career of the graphic novelist, writer and magician Alan Moore. It’s around 165,000 words – over 400 pages.
As I was writing the book, I interviewed all sorts of people involved with Moore’s career: including Dez Skinn, Bernie Jaye, David Lloyd, Dave Gibbons, Don Murphy … and Alan Moore, who offered the following endorsement:

I’m reading the Biography now and it’s great ’till know! I’m liking it almost as much as Moores Work!
I’ve just finished reading this, barring sleeping and eating, in one sitting. I found it gripping and fun.
My biggest problem with it has been the epiphany that I’m not the undiscovered comics genius I believed myself to be before I started reading it, but merely a fanboy with delusions of grandeur. Ah well, I can live with that.
You’ve done a fabulous job with this book. Thank you.
(Camelot 3000, incidentally, was collected into book form in 1988. I checked my copy of it which I have right here in front of me. Still – just a quibble.)
Also, while I’m at it, I might as well tell you that my favourite Doctor Who book was The Infinity Doctors. So really good going on two counts.
