Synopsis
Danny McQueen's day job in the local specialist video shop is only a way to pay the rent until his band makes it big. But his girlfriend has given him an ultimatum: get a recording contract, a proper job or a new girlfriend. Suddenly it seems the one thing that's important is the one he'll lose.

From the Publisher
Louise Wener's novel is a delight from start to finish: funny, warm, romantic yet down to earth, a novel about friendship and love and growing up. It's about whether there's ever a time when you have to leave your dreams behind. It's very cleverly written - Louise is, of course, a woman but writes so convincingly in Danny's voice you'd never guess it. And it will make you laugh out loud - a lot. This novel isn't just for Sleeper fans but for everyone who's ever picked up a Mike Gayle novel, and for all those readers who love Nick Hornby.

Don't know if you know but Louise appeared on a local radio station in London yesterday, BBC Radio London 94.9, to plug the paperback print of 'Goodbye Steve McQueen' that comes out in the next few weeks and mentions having finished the next one, the inspiration about a female cards player etc etc and of course her days in Sleeper.

Normally their interviews are archived on their website: www.bbc.co.uk/london (head for the radio signs) and there is one already on there from July.

Take care and keep up the good work,

Looking at Amazon.co.uk there is a new listing for Goodnight, Steve McQueen. Student Book World lists a second book (ISBN: 0340826045) as well, but to be published in January 1st, 2003. I am assuming that the re-release will be a smaller book format (standard pocket sized paperback?)
