The Original Music

Those original songs I promised - they're here as demos.

Preorder

Hey! We have a confirmed publication date for Teardown - 10th December 2024.
But you can pre-order now and get the eBook early - by a whole 4 days. Order direct from NineStar Press.

The Teardown Soundtrack

Where do I come from? I come from the Blues.
And where does the blues come from? In the case of Teardown, and the band, it comes from blues masters, old and new. I've put together a playlist of the tracks (other than the original compositions) that feature in the band's setlist. It's over on Spotify.

Cover Reveal

As you will see from the banner change, I am finally able to reveal the new cover of TEARDOWN:


And to go with the cover, I have a provisional release date: 2024-12-10

The Original Songs

Sorry - the song demos will be published when the book comes out

... or maybe a little bit before. But I do have some titles:

  • I Come from the Blues
  • I’ve Got the Blues, I Ain’t Worried
  • The Hall of Fallen Angels
  • Drinking Song
  • Whiskey in the Jar (Jenny's Tale)
  • Cross, Don’t Cross

TEARDOWN

We have a title!

We also have a blurb, and anything in the blurb is fair game for social media. So here is Kai*:

Kai is represented by a Lego figure in classic Lego yellow. Kai is playing a Lego drumkit.

Kai (no pronouns) is the drummer in a small-town blues band. In two weeks the band tours Germany, with a recording studio booked for their return. Then their singer quits…

TEARDOWN - published by Ninestar Press in winter 2024 - is the story of what happens next.

* Kai isn't really a Lego person, but Lego figures do avoid questions of race and gender, which is very convenient.

Author Bio

William Campbell Powell

William lives in a small Buckinghamshire village in England. By night he writes speculative, historical, crime and other fiction. His debut novel, EXPIRATION DAY, was published by Tor Teen in 2014 and won the 2015 Hal Clement Award for better than half-decent science in a YA novel—the citation actually says "Excellence in Children's Science Fiction Literature".

His short fiction has appeared in DreamForge, Metastellar, Abyss & Apex and other outlets.

By day he writes software for a living and in the twilight he sings tenor, plays guitar and writes songs.
