Letters Home

a memoir

In 1989, at twenty-two, I became an original member of Björn Again, the ABBA tribute band that helped ignite a global revival of the music. I spent seventeen years with the band, touring Australia, the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. For nearly eight of those years, I wrote letters home to my close friend Vera. She kept every one, and thirty years later she handed them back.Letters Home is the book that emerged. It weaves together the letters Vera received at the time, my reflections on them today, and a third thread of stories she never heard, from either side of the touring years.The book is now out on submission. My new album, Natural, drawn from songs written over those same thirty years, is on its way.
