Whilst it's been a bit of a journey, along with a sometimes fraught learning curve, it really is a great joy to have finally launched our little book, The Secret Chord
. This has been a co-authored project with my buddy Jonathan Evens who has been brilliant at curating all my vague ideas into something tangible as well as encouraging me to take the step of now writing words rather than principally music. We have taken heed of others and their projects, too, such as Sam Norton, Kester Brewin and Liz Hinds, as all of whom have completed self managed publishing projects and freely shared their progress.
So far The Secret Chord is available on Amazon Kindle with the paperback hot on its heels for release at the end of this month. If you don't own a Kindle there are some excellent freebie Apps for PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android tablets and smartphones.
To supplement the book, both in physical form and when reading it on a non internet enabled Kindle, we have embarked on creating The Secret Chord website with all the web links and biographical notes along with some extra goodies. This will be more dynamic as we have plans for lots more content real soon...
We very much look forward to hearing your thoughts, please be gentle!

Hi Peter and Jonathan! I will not say too much here as I have posted a comment on your 'Secret Chord' website, but I just want to say here that your book is turning my 'one-dimensional' view of music and the arts, especially as it relates to theology, into a 'multi-dimensional' one! I have always known the kind of music, art and literature that move me, but this is a real eye-opener. Thank you for writing it. Heather Joy Rowe
Oh well done! (I don't have a kindle so will have to wait to read it so can't comment on it.)
Greetings Heather, many thanks for your comments so far... your thoughts exemplify the hoped for reaction!
Thanks Liz, paperback is available now, too, thanks to your generous advice, on LuLu!
Cheers me dears!
