The Unholy Scriptures: The Complete Unofficial Chronicle of Ronnie James Dio’s Solo Canon is my heavy, power-packed complete story of the Dio band, combining two previously self-published and out-of-print books and updating the tale as well. It’s full colour throughout, hardcover, stuffed to the covers with many pictures and even more words.

A Dangerous Meeting: In the Shadows with Mercyful Fate is my updated, expanded and somewhat rewritten update on the celebrated earlier version of this book, available in four languages besides English. It’s my song-by-song, album-per-chapter book looking at the exemplary catalogue of King Diamond’s devilish original band, from Melissa and Don’t Break the Oath in the ‘80s to a vastly under-rated run of top-shelf reunion records in the ‘90s. The King Diamond catalogue gets a more informal look-in along the way, but yeah, most of this is about the hard, spooky work that went into one of the classiest metal catalogues of all time.

A Million Vacations: The Max Webster Story is my updated, expanded, somewhat rewritten and newly copy-edited update on the celebrated and long out-of-print earlier version of this book. It’s my most satisfying write ever (at least for the straight biographies) because it’s about a band I’ve been known to call my favourite Canadian act of all time. It’s over 100,000 words of Canuck obscurity, but it also include Philip Kamin and Scott Feeney photos of this Canadian treasure.

Hallowed by Their Name: The Unofficial Iron Maiden Bible is my mammoth 666-page book charting the complete Iron Maiden story. It’s the product of an impressive upgrading of my previously self-published Iron Maiden trilogy, and rendered hardcover and full colour throughout.

Sabotage! Black Sabbath in the Seventies is my all-encompassing 286-page treatise on the first eight Black Sabbath records and its makers. Every song is analyzed, we discuss touring, production, album covers, the whole range from the teenage years in Aston to the Never Say Die tour. Two eight-page colour sections ice the cake.

Born Again! Black Sabbath in the Eighties and Nineties is my exhaustive 282-page analysis of—and side dramas between—every Sabbath album from Heaven and Hell to Reunion. Included are two four-page colour sections. This is the follow-up to Sabotage! Black Sabbath in the Seventies. Lots of Ronnie, lots of the two Tonys, and a little bit of Ian, Glenn and Ozzy.

Dominance and Submission: The Blue Öyster Cult Canon is my super-intensive wise panel examination of every BÖC album, weighing in at 306 pages of detailed fretting over everything to do with the band’s 14 albums. There’s also an eight-page colour section plus myriad other pictures of collectibles.

Lights Out: Surviving the ‘70s with UFO is my new book examining the Mick Bolton era of UFO, through to the end of the classic Michael Schenker years, namely the Strangers in the Night live album. To write the book, I’ve used as the core, my out-of-print UFO book from 2005, but basically doubled the early years coverage that was in that book.

Lettin' Go: UFO in the '80s & '90s is the follow-up to Lights Out: UFO in the '70s. Together the story is told more complete than previously attempted by anybody, I suppose, save for my old all-decades book, Shoot Out the Lights. This one was particularly fun to do as the Tonka era is my favourite.

Blockbuster!: The Sweet Story is the updated version of my Sweet book from 2021. It’s the detailed, very book-ish story of the band, but most pertinently a deep-dive analysis of every album, with no song untouched. Come see why interest in such records as Sweet Fanny Adams and Give Us a Wink has never waned, and come see why you should be snapping up a copy of the band’s Off the Record album from 1977 right now.
