1 y separately published work icon Sawdust Sawdust : ... When the Dust Has Settled Deborah Kay , Barry Levy , Carindale : Interactive Press , 2013 26551775 2013 single work autobiography

'Sexual abuse of children is all too common in society today. Media reports focus on the crime and its consequences without offering constructive advice on how victims can come to terms with their past and transcend it.

'Here, Deborah Kay teams up with award-winning social issues journalist Barry Levy to provide a courageous and compassionate account of what happened to her, and how she avoided being warped by her experiences, allowing, as she puts it, pockets of sunlight to shine through her.

'This is a book not only to read and reflect on but also to share.' (Publication summary)
1 1 y separately published work icon The Terrorist Barry Levy , Carindale : Interactive Press , 2012 Z1928181 2012 single work novel thriller 'Ben Fine is no ordinary Australian... but these aren't exactly ordinary times.

A clash of cultures has beset the world: George W. Bush has declared the War on Terror, and the Fines, a Jewish family with a dog named Lenin, have taken in a Muslim homestay student. Despite the Fines' liberalist ideology and their best intentions to show their guest how the world can be a better place, Ben begins to fear that terror may lurk even within his own household.

The 2006 Lebanon War between Hezbollah and Israel breaks out... not just on TV, but in the Fines' living-room. All hell breaks loose in the Fine household as Ben Fine turns defender of the Jewish nation and Western freedom.

Sometimes funny, sometimes dark... the ending will leave you breathless...' (Publisher's blurb)
