September 2008 sees the publication of my first true ABBA biography in Swedish. In fact, it's the first comprehensive biography about the group ever published in their home-country.
  


Update, June 30, 2008: Ordering details for signed copies of ABBA - The Story are now available. Please click "Buy a signed copy" or "Köp ett signerat exemplar" in the "Order from" menu to the right.

The subtitle of the book has been slightly changed. It is now "Berättelsen om supergruppen" ("The Story About The Supergroup").

It has now been confirmed that the book will be published in Finland as well. The Finnish publisher is Like. As soon as I have the publication date, it will be added to the site.

I will talk about the book on two occasions during Europride 2008 in Stockholm. See Projects and events for more details.

Back in 2001, when my English-language ABBA biography, Bright Lights Dark Shadows, was published, there was hope that it would be published in several different languages. For various reasons, except for German and Russian, this never happened. I found it especially annoying that we couldn't get the book published in Sweden - after all, its ABBA's home-country as well as my own. That thought simply wouldn't leave me alone.

Therefore, I'm very happy to announce the upcoming publication of my brand new ABBA biography, entitled ABBA - The Story: Berättelsen om supergruppen (The Story About The Super Group). This new book tells the story of ABBA, but this time in Swedish. I have gone back to the drawing board, as it were, and written a completely new biography, so that ABBA-interested readers in Sweden can finally read the fascinating story of ABBA.

Naturally, the events of the 21st Century are covered in some detail in this new book, which of course was not the case with, for example, Bright Lights Dark Shadows. Furthermore, new information that has come to light about the ABBA years has informed the Swedish book.

There will be around 60 colour and black & white pictures in the book, covering the pre-ABBA days up until the present.

I am delighted to announce that ABBA - The Story will also be published in Norway, Denmark and Finland.

I will add Swedish-language information about the book at a later date.
