Signed Copy Of Nil Desperandum

 

Born into abject poverty and a culture of crime in the East End of London shortly before the Second World War, Patsy Feeley soon realised that life was all about determination and survival. After long spells in approved school, detention centre, borstal and the Army, he developed a healthy disdain and distrust of authority.
Employing streetwise skills and ingenuity, he embarked on an adventurous life of crime and excitement. He was soon spotted and recruited by a gang of professional armed robbers to take part in plundering banks and security vans across London and the south-east of England, quickly earning a reputation as “one of the best armed robbers and money-getters in London”.
While at the peak of his notoriety and success, however, he was faced with a quadruple nightmare: a long prison sentence, a gangland murder investigation, cancer of the throat and a severe stroke that left him in a wheelchair. Yet, bullheaded and intransigent to the last, he somehow managed to pull himself back from the abyss.
This book not only provides an eye-opener about crime, criminals, the justice system and prison, but also the health-care system and the problems associated with being a severely disabled person. It is the warts-and-all story of one of the great oaks of East End folklore and, above all, a story of immense human suffering and endurance that can only demand respect.

  Lost Chances
The Ride's Back On  

In 1970s apartheid-torn South Africa, on the vast, sun-drenched expanses of the Eastern Cape, St Ann’s mission hospital staff find themselves drawn unwittingly into a dangerous and violent underworld blighted by interracial tensions, corruption, exploitation, deceit, manipulation and selfish ambition, in the wake of the continuing disappearance of local black girls, two brutal murders and a vicious rape. But who is responsible and what are their motives?
Vietnam war veteran, medical specialist and Roman Catholic priest, Tom Dooley, together with a young and courageous journalist, Sonja Vermeulen, fuelled by the opposing needs of both justice and revenge, are determined to get to the bottom of the crisis and expose the perpetrators. But are they simply small-town thugs or are higher powers at work, people who will stop at nothing to safeguard their sordid business? And who can be trusted?
Geraldine du Plessis, the attractive, seductive and narcissistic wife of a wealthy Afrikaner farmer, may hold some of the answers, but is she really as vulnerable as she seems or is there some hidden agenda? There is no turning back from the deadly game of cat and mouse that ominously unfolds, and painful sacrifices will have to be made, but will the price ultimately be too high?

Signed Copy Raised On Elvis!Elvis!Elvis!

Raving Lunacy  

Like millions of first-generation Rock & Roll teens, Sandi Haynes Pichon, Author, Columnist & President of TCB ELVIS STYLE Fan Club in Louisiana, was Raised on ELVIS! ELVIS! ELVIS! In between the time she sat with him on his motorcycle at his Audubon Drive home until the day she stood weeping by his coffin inside Graceland, Sandi was front row and center for ELVIS concerts all over the country. As a pre-teen in Memphis, she was there to witness a regional attraction which become a national obsession; she devoted years of her adult life to being part of his global audience, and has since dedicated herself to charities that pay homage to his iconic memory. Through several chance meetings with ELVIS himself and friendships with his inner circle Sandi was close enough to feel for the wonderful man that was living in the shadow of his awesome reputation. They exchanged gifts and kisses across the footlights and she was invited to the parties after the shows and even to Graceland Mansion. "I was so fortunate to have been able to have such meaningful contact with the most beloved entertainer ever," Sandi relates. "I always knew that I was there for the millions who wished they were, so this story belongs to all the fans, who have loved him, turned their rooms into shrines to him, and stood by him for all these years." So now enjoy this pictorial novella of a time and place where a man changed the world one heart at a time.

The Hero's and Villains store has a copy of the incredibly rare book called "Looking At Life By Joey Pyle" which is one of the very few that are in existents world wide. The proceeds of this book will go to Zoe's Place which is a charity that was avidly supported by Joey Pyle Snr right up to the end.

A description of this book by its editor

"This book came about not because of one man's passion to see his work published like most, but by accident. What you're about to read wasn't ever intended for the eyes of the public. Joe Pyle first created the works within, that I call "advices", as a tribute and a gift to his family and friend for standing by him through hard times - a book of thanks. "
 
"Each piece was first created and then, later on, a title was added. The sentiments and feeling that flowed from Joe's inner soul were transformed into life though Joe's pen. Each piece has a special meaning, but each of us can draw strength from such works. There's no golden daffodils or mention of romantic red, red roses within the confines of these works, which Joe was at a low point in his life when he penned the advixes then it makes it all the more realistic in what can be contrived from such pieces of raw emotion. "
 
"In many of the pieces you can see Joe's heart on fire and his thoughts are at times, in turmoil and yet a sense of hope always shines through like rays of sunshine shining through the darkest of clouds. That's exactly how life replicates such an image - hope always shining through our worst nightmares. "
 
"We can, through Joe's eyes, take n opportunity to look at life and with the help of a few friends and other characters within the book can be made into something to remember - for all the right reasons. "
 
"No doubt there will be some sensationalism attached to this book because of certain contents. I, as the editor, make it quite clear that each and every person within this book has agreed to help either as a result of their connection to Joe or their sole interest in helping Zoe's Place and for no other reason. Each person within had no knowledge of who else was to be featured. "
 
"The sole aim of this book is to bring people together in an act of kindness to help generate enough cash for Zoe's Place to keep it open forever. The only hospice for babies in the world, as far as we know, has managed to bring a wide and varied collection of celebrities together that otherwise wouldn't have ever rubbed shoulders let alone crossed each other's paths. "
