To Heaven or to Hell

In a time in the not-too-distant future, where mankind had all-but-used-up the earth’s fuels and commodities and people’s living standards had plummeted back to more than a century ago, comes a story of one man’s fight for survival.

Danny Pruitt was an ordinary family man trying to eke out a living in the harshest of times but when a visit from overzealous police turned deadly, Danny’s life was turned upside down. With no choice but to escape corrupt authorities, he flees to the nearby mountains and soon finds an unlikely haven in the forest.

With a bounty on his head and trying to elude his relentless pursuers, he embarks on a journey of love, mateship, betrayal, tragedy, murder, infidelity and revenge whilst fighting his inner torment and whatever nature’s fury can throw at him. Will he fulfil his quest to reunite with his cherished wife and two young sons and find freedom at his northern tropical property named Heaven, or will the deeds of his committed sins condemn him to Hell?

The Third Tunnel

Why would Alby even think about peeing in Reenie’s uncle’s best Sunday suit? OK, he’d lost all his clothes and his house, but did he have to lose his flamin’ dignity too?

However, not only did the lovely Reenie have an eye for putting together a sharp whistle, she was after all the local Plod’s wife, but she’d found that lately, she’d also had a roving eye and Ralph the Spiv had fallen deep between the sight lines. The trouble was, that was right where he wanted to be! That is until it all goes off deep inside The Third Tunnel.

The Student

Loosely based on the author’s experiences in Cairo, immediately following the 1967 war, this engaging story follows a group of American students sent to Egypt to learn Arabic. During the course of their stay, the students experience conflict between their, often romanticized, images and the reality of life in Cairo as they learn to survive during the last days of the Nasser regime and the end of Egypt’s golden age. This book provides an alternative view of Egypt and the Middle East as its protagonist, an imaginary James Bond, studies, shops, haggles and defends his self-identity in a foreign culture.

The Stretch

Based on a true story

Each time Rockin tries to book a limo to take him and his friends on a drunken trip to London, they are refused, until one firm informs them that the only way that they would be able to book a limo for six lads was if they were going to a wedding.

They have their answer! By the next day, the limo is booked and the morning suits are hired, even down to the buttonholes.

As the limo passes Birmingham, Marco comes up with an idea and two minutes later he is on the phone to the newspapers. “Yeah, that’s right, the groom's found out that his bride-to-be has slept with one of the ushers. He’s phoned her and she has admitted it!”

Rockin is nominated to be the groom but in real life is dating a beautiful blonde Catholic school teacher. He sits in the plush surroundings of the Savoy hotel dreading the phone call he was going to have to make, asking her if he could be a fake groom and appear in the Sunday Sport newspaper.

Two scruffy-looking men walk into the bar; one has a camera slung over his shoulder. The time has come: Rockin has to make the call.

The book also encourages readers to think critically about the theories and ideas presented in the real world and to approach them with a patient and honest exploratory spirit.

The Racers

Paddy Doherty, a young English twenty-something, has loved motorbikes for as long as he could remember, almost as long as his best pal, “Mucka” O’Neal. But a chance conversation over a pint, on a sunny summer’s afternoon, buys him a one-way ticket into the insane world of motorcycle racing. Stoically partnered by “Mucka”, the pair embark on an adventure into the adrenaline-packed life of motorcycle racers. Rivalry, romance, disaster and success pave the track of this gritty, earthy, humorous adventure around the motor-racing circuits of the UK. From the cold winter’s morning of their nervous first race at Mallory Park, the racers progress through the ranks, making colourful friends, and dangerous enemies along the way. Paddock parties, crashes, tears and above all, laughter run rich throughout this genuinely funny and heartfelt adventure. But how will it end for them, on a podium with champagne, or in a hospital bed? The Racers unfolds in a climax of burnt rubber, all the way to the chequered flag.

The New Self-Reliance A Novel of Endurance

Kristen and Mike’s joy in reunion is immediately plunged into a new series of challenges that force them to suspend their disbelief in an ever-shifting world of trans-dimensional intrigue. From spirits animating the wrong bodies, agents from another universe, sudden membership in a family they’ve never before known, and dangerous technologies from both the future and the past, the heroes must also confront the ongoing mystery of how to replace the undead God or even if they should do so. Slowly assembling their team of intrepid young friends who themselves are not at first where they need to be, Mike stolidly pursues the dual nemesis of both their antagonist and his strange tools, while Kristen travels back to Tudor England to reboot the timeline in their favour. The narrative hurtles forward until they are all hanging on a precipice, their friends both new and old trapped in time, Mike transformed materially and his soulmate Kristen stunningly and unexpectedly transfigured.

“The second instalment of Loewen’s radical new adventure series is everything readers could have hoped for. The mystery deepens, the stakes attain new heights, and the characters develop insightful personal relationships that find them thrown together in both existential bliss and angst. This shocking cliff-hanger will only raise the ante, for readers as much as for the heroes themselves.”

The Last Woman—A Novel of Rebirth

“The serpentine narrative of Kristen-Seraphim continues unabated as the youthful heroes must not only confront themselves and their past in a novel manner, but rebuild their team, half of whom are at first in utter ignorance of any of their once shared accomplishments, let alone the Earth as it is now at hand. Prepare yourself for a blistering ride that will send your imagination into orbit. But around which world?”

With both God and the Devil apparently merged and lost alike, the stunning relief felt by the now veteran half of the heroic community at the appearance of their comrades’ successors is instantly turned to anxiety and shock as Mary discovers she is inexplicably pregnant! By whom, or by what? And then again, who, or what kind of being is now developing before their very eyes? The new Kristen struggles under the weight of the feats of her predecessor and doubts Mike’s enduring love for her. Likewise, both Michelle and Kylie must come to terms with the tragic fates of their previous selves, but this too holds a bizarre twist. Yet their enemies have hardly given up. A continuous assault by anachronistic figures, the appearance of the Smythes’ interdimensional siblings and impossible events that seem to stop time itself all figure to unravel the gains made by the legendary team. The most hoped for and yet dreaded moment prompts their new leader to make for herself an oddly existential sacrifice and thus set the stage for what may be the final showdown with the liminalist forces.
