A piece of music starts a story which will range across Soviet Russia, McCarthyite Hollywood and post 9/11 New York, as the mystery of the lives of two gay composers is uncovered. Who wrote the music? How did the two composers’ lives come to cross? What pressures caused their actions? What are the consequences for those around them?In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, a man arrives in New York to claim that the theme tune of a popular tv series, said to be written by composer Sol Conrad, in fact belongs his grandfather Sergey, an eminent Russian composer who was sent to the gulag by Stalin, and from whom Sol stole the score. Conrad’s young PA Natalie is determined to defend her elderly employer, but as she digs deeper she discovers worlds of which she barely knew – Russian labour camps, McCarthyism, repressive governments, and the plight of homosexuals in the USA and USSR during the twentieth century.Natalie, Sol and Serge each tell their stories, ranging across continents and decades. A Simple Scale moves forward through their narratives of love, death, deceit, the CIA, the NKVD, atomic bombs, classical music and Hollywood. In a dramatic conclusion their pasts and presents catch up with them, as the secrecy, manipulation and betrayal that were the centre of Sol and Sergey’s lives inform a few weeks of 2001, when history is about to repeat itself. Rich in detail and atmosphere, David Llewellyn explores the points at which the personal and the political meet. Throughout, his depiction of 30s Leningrad, 50s California and post-9/11 New York is only too believable.

In Cardiff's offices and call centres the twenty-something white collar workers of the new sweatshops email each other with work issues, jokes, arrangements for their social lives, gossip and the products of sheer boredom. As the day passes, would-be author Martin conducts this correspondence and saves in Drafts a variety of emails to himself – a commentary on his life.Martin is tired of customer services, in denial over breaking up with his girlfriend, worried about 'that incident' in London, and baffled by the triviality of his life and those of his drinking, recreational drug-taking friends. What is the plot he's supposed to be following? How has it come to this? When on this day, 11th September, 2001, people fly airliners into buildings, Martin knows he's reached a critical point in his life. He sends his final email…Told entirely through emails, part The Office, part Beckett, Eleven is a striking debut novel: smart, funny, brutally sad, and a genuine response to 21st century society in the UK and beyond."A compulsive read, written entirely in the form of emails sent by the characters over the course of one day. Martin and his friends work in the offices and call centres of Cardiff; and in its hilarious depiction of the grim hypocrisy of modern working life, Eleven is on a par with The Office." Ray French, The Guardian"In offering a dark comedy, Llewellyn shows more taste than do many more earnest seekers of artistic relevance. Llewellyn's novel is a funny, disturbing view of a disaffected age"Nicholas Clee, The Guardian"The rapid-fire volley of email traffic provides the ideal vehicle for Llewellyn's spiky humour... Eleven conveys a longing to reach beyond the frequently alienating experience of modern-day life to something more meaningful and humane"New Welsh ReviewDavid Llewellyn was raised in Pontypool and is a graduate of Dartington College of Arts. He has written scripts for the BBC and several short stories. David now lives and works in Cardiff. This is his first novel.

David Llewellyn's third Seren novel is a tale of unlikely friendship, between two unlikelier travel companions on the unlikeliest of journeys. Ibrahim is a young Muslim Londoner, walking, for many reasons, from Cardiff to London. On the way he meets Reenie, a 75 year-old Jewish woman who escaped to the East End on the Kindertransport. Complete with her whole life's luggage in a shopping trolley, plus pet cockatiel, Reenie is also walking the M4, and not for charity, either. As the pair share the trip across England and Wales, their paths stretch out into the personal and political turns of European history, in ways neither could have foreseen."A compulsive read... in its hilarious depiction of the grim hypocrisy of modern working life, Eleven is on a par with The Office." – Ray French, The Guardian on ElevenDavid Llewellyn is a novelist and script writer from Pontypool. His first novel, Eleven, written entirely in emails, was published in 2006, followed by Everything Is Sinister in 2008, both published by Seren. He has written two novels for BBC Books' Doctor Who New Series Adventures: The Taking of Chelsea 426 and Night of the Humans, and Trace Memory, a Torchwood spin-off.

'Violence is the new language, celebrity is the new currency.'Everything is Sinister is a darkly humorous novel with a biting take on the modern cult of celebrity and its potentially horrific consequences."Destined to become a cult book, Llewellyn offers conspiracies of the media world and scepticism of the future of humanity." Buzz Magazine"This is going to sound horribly sycophantic, but I'm going to say it anyway: David Llewellyn's new book is great. The book is an adroit but powerful take on a society in which sex and violence have been commoditised, and in which the media can wreck or redeem an individual in an instant." Ceri Radford, Telegraph blogEd Raynes is the showbiz correspondent for Britain's most popular tabloid, The Voice of the People. In the sweltering, tinderbox summer of 2010, with the Olympic village construction site on his doorstep, Ed guards a shocking secret known only to himself, and an executive of the all-powerful K-Media group - as well as the winner of the countrys highest rating reality TV show Lockdown.The entire country, and his colleagues, is absorbed in Lockdown - a show where contestants are put in prison and then 'paroled' by the public vote. But are the contestants really what they seem?As Ed's world of parties and red carpets begins to crumble, he becomes a recluse in his Docklands apartment, his only exposure to the outside world being via his balcony, from where he watches the commuters come and go - and his electronic media, TV and the internet, straining his already tenuous relationship with reality.But is Ed a victim of his own paranoia or is there really something wrong with people? And who is Nigel? the man in the apartment below Ed's, and his Princess Diana look-alike friend? As the outside world refuses to let him go, his life transforms into a nightmarish Heart of Darkness mission, played out in the concrete and glass jungle of Canary Wharf!Readers of Ed's blog can follow the twists and turns of an apparently sinister conspiracy which won't end until violence and celebrity join forces, with lethal consequences.Taking in the themes of reality TV, mass communication for the internet generation, sexuality and 21st century city life, 29-year-old Llewellyn has created a superbly enjoyable, disturbing tale of conspiracy, red carpets, paranoia and daytime television.David Llewellyn was raised in Pontypool and is a graduate of Darlington College of Arts. He has written scripts for the BBC and several short stories. David now lives and works in Cardiff.
