Recently I was interviewed for a 4-part documentary on Aleister Crowley to be broadcast on German radio next year. More details about how to listen to it when I get them. I took the interviewer up to the site of Netherwood for added 'atmosphere' - it was suitably grey and overcast. Gary Lachman is also one of the interviewees.
My latest book will, I hope go to the printers in August to be published in September when there will be a series of promotional events in London and Hastings - and elsewhere if anyone wants me. I don't get as many requests to do talks as I used to, although I don't mind as I have less energy these days.
The book has taken more than 3 years and now runs to over 600 pages, which makes it the longest I've written. It's got quite a few illustrations and I suppose fits in with the Fu Manchu book I did with Strange Attractor a few years ago rather than my historical works. Aleister Crowley gets a chapter to himself as a bit of a digression from the main theme which is about popular culture. I've watched a huge number of films for this project which was mostly fun.
Last shout out for Darren Coffield's Queens of Bohemia event at Westminster Arts Library on 12 July.
Reserve a FREE place here. I'll be hosting.

Hey Tony, greetings from Berlin. I'd be interesting in knowing which German radio is preparing this series as there may be some folks here in Germany who would like to contribute - or respond. Perhaps you might be able to forward the info via email?
The radio station is WDR and the documentary maker was Lorenz Schroter.
Thanks Tony! It seems he interviewed Klaus Kinski so perhaps he specializes in "difficult" characters. ;-)
He was a bit cagey about his 'take' on AC but we'll just have to wait and see (hear) what emerges As I did the interview in English I'll be interested to hear my German interpreter's voice!
