DEEP PURPLE Frontman IAN GILLAN Tries Writing Novel
22 August 2006Gillan, 61, said he had already lined up a publisher for his novel, which is a political thriller titled "Wessex".
"This is my one and only novel. This really is a labor of love. It's the only idea I have ever had for a book which has inspired me to write it," Gillan told Reuters in an interview on Monday while on a solo tour on North America called "Smoke This!"
"But writing is a hobby. I write every day. One of my greatest pleasures is writing on my Web site."
Gillan said he expected the book would be controversial.
"A lot of wrong things have become the law and this affects people very deeply," he said. "This book is based on my own philosophies."
Gillan said he also signed a deal last week with a British company to remaster and re-release the five solo albums that he produced during the 1970s and 1980s. This should happen later this year.
