Happy listening! 

On Thursday December 16th at 4 PM British time, I'll be doing a live Twitter chat. You can ask me any questions you like about John Lennon, the Bed-In, the Beatles or my new book, GIVE ME A CHANCE.

Tweet your questions in advance to @walkerbooksuk #gailrenard, or tune in on Thursday at 4 and ask me directly. Looking forward to speaking to you!

On the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death, let's all celebrate his life, music and peace message. John wouldn't want to be remembered for the manner of his death as much as his incredible life. So let's be grateful we had John in our lives and we've still got his legacy. You can watch me honouring John on Australia's top morning show, SUNRISE. Love and peace, everyone. And let's Give Peace A Chance!

To mark the 30th anniversary of John's death on December 8th, the BBC website has filmed a tribute with me:

Tomorrow, to honour John, let's not dwell on the manner of his death but on his life. John left us his brilliant music and peace message. Let's all sing a rousing chorus of "Give Peace A Chance" and think about what it means. We  need his words today more than ever!

Give Me A Chance can now be bought in the U.K on-line, in good bookshops everywhere and probably in some bad ones too! I'm grateful to the Beatles Blog for their great write-up:

As the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death looms (can it really be 30 years?) I'm going to be on a guest on SUNRISE AUSTRALIA on Wednesday, December 8th, to discuss my experiences of John and the Bed-In.

The same day I'll also be on Australia's Radio 2GB on Chris Smith's afternoon show.

And many thanks to Michael Idato of the Sydney Morning Herald for his review of my about John & Yoko's book, GIVE ME A CHANCE:

"An extraordinary and illuminating account of an iconic moment in cultural modern history."

I had the honour of meeting Michael when he was in London recently. Thank you, Michael, and all of Oz, for your incredible kindness!

Many thanks to WHO Magazine in Australia (available on-line and on the stands today) for putting me on the same cover with Britney Spears and Liz Taylor!
