Thanks to all :) The idea of the 2 fans came from a "literary necessity". In the beginning, I wasn't sure about what kind of narrator could fit. I mean, I wouldn't have been comfortable with a fictional MK in 1st person or an all-knowing in 3rd person (as by definition it was impossible to me to know everything). So in the end I thought of a fan because he/she could have access to the same info anyone going deep into the subject could have. That derived in this very special structure that in my view could make the book more attractive than a usual bio/music book. Hope you like it!!

So great how Amit is included in the book and used in the plot.

It could had been a real story!

Me and Pottel actually had a torrid affair for a while but he broke my heart when he ran off with the guy who runs Dave Gilmour's merch stand.

as for french editors who may be interested in a translated version, try "Le Mot et le Reste" : https://lemotetlereste.com/

They have already published two versions of a book about DS/MK

Great story indeed!

But... please tell me more about how Elliot Murphy met Sonny Landreth and the collaboration on 'Selling the Gold'  ;D
