Capitalism for frustrated
lovers 
Capitalism for Frustrated Lovers tells the heart-rending story of what
happens when true love enters unexpectedly into the long established routine
of every-day life, and the chain of consequences that ensue under its
force.
As Cora and John find themselves increasingly powerless to their feelings,
events around them continue to spiral out of control, leaving them torn
between the external drama of their lives and the internal one of their
love.
The strikingly familiar reality of Levicks characters and the predicaments
they face make his book compelling to any reader, and the poetic simplicity
of his style makes it a deeply moving and memorable narrative, which despite
being far from a fairy-tale is every bit as readable and infinitely more
satisfying moving thriller set in the sixties, involving hatred, obsession,
dramatic escapes, contract killings, business intrigue and blackmail.
Above all, it chronicles one man's struggle to rise again from the depths
of despair.

Mindscape
Caving & the Art of Subversion
"Mindscape" follows interlocking stories of different people
set in the contemporary scapes of Manchester, Melbourne and Snowdonia.
Throughout the interesting shifts in plot and characters, Terence maintains
a tension and allusion to the original psychic theme that is captivating.
If the world of I.D. technology, extortion and spies seems much removed
from that of Romantic poets and caving, "Mindscape" will show
you new possibilities.
Eric Lewthwaite, a fascination mixture of computer geek, 'weirdo' and
genius, can glimpse beyond the impossible and into another level of consciousness,
though when he stumbles into a chasm of intrigue everything is turned
upside-down.
Emma Beardmore is a student of metaphysics who sees into the past and
speaks with her dead mother - but what part does she play in all this?

Black Nunsense
Mahony's riotous imagination and biting wit make every page a delight,
and render his reader powerless to the intrigue of what could possibly
happen next in this outrageous look at the importance of communication
and the perilous nature of its success.
The extraordinary becomes the every-day in this hilarious satirical comedy
of coincidence and crippling irony. The most unlikely parties become inadvertently
involved in the murky dispute between two tribes, whose peculiar rituals
and tendencies towards the occult become helplessly intertwined with the
practices of a convent of nuns, the military secrets of the British government,
a sewer system infiltrated by deadly crocodiles, and a rescue home for
alcoholic cats...

There's No Room For Jugglers
in My Circus
"There's no room for jugglers in my circus" tells the tale of
a young man's drug-addled youth misspent in Borehamwood, where cheap gossip
was rife, "friends" were just ships passing in the night, and
dreams remained just that. Given the young man's drug habit, his involvement
with gangsters, violence and prison seems inevitable.
Cookster dissects the psyche of personalities fuelled by drink, drugs
and power, and draws colourful sketches of the different types of gangster
from "the Real McCoy", a highly influential "gentleman"
who practises a code of honour among thieves, to the "plastic gangster",
a "wannabe" who has all the bluster but none of the power. Despite
everything, there is light at the end of the tunnel for the narrator,
as he retains his hopes for the future, and keeps his aspirations alive
amid the chaos. And all the time the story is fuelled by cocaine, the
devil's dandruff
.
