R. J. Campbell was born on February 29, 1968, a leap year. He has loved a good story ever since he could remember. Campbell¿s fondest memories are of storytellers and how they, ¿no matter the age,¿ could put one at ease in the scariest of situations. They could do this by candlelight, campfire, or at school on their first day. Everyone needs a driving force in life. Campbell¿s came at McGregor Elementary School in Canton, Ohio. His first two years of school were the best two years of school. This was because he had someone to look forward to seeing from time to time, a storyteller. He believes her name is Laura, though time has faded some details. He knows she left to become a store window display artist right about the time his family was moving to his Grandfather¿s farm. All he had left was found memories. He hopes this book will become one of yours. ENJOY!

After escaping the clutches of a Glasgow drug lord nicknamed 'The Widowmaker', the newly promoted Detective Constable Thoroughgood heads for Manchester. The northern powerhouse is home to two rival gangs: 'The Maine Men' and 'The Devils'. When a drug deal goes wrong and Thoroughgood fails to stop it, a full-scale turf war is ready to take over Manchester - a city split into red and blue halves. Seconded into an undercover Greater Manchester Police unit led by the legendary DCI Marty Ferguson, an exiled Glasgow cop with a messianic presence, Thoroughgood soon finds that the drugs war is not the only battle being fought in the city. 'The Hammer' takes Thoroughgood out of the character's typical Scottish stomping grounds, with 1990s Manchester and a nightmare at the Theatre of Dreams forming the perfect backdrop for Mitchell's brand of gritty, high-octane crime writing.
Teachers of the youngest children at school were the first to bear the brunt of the policies to change the curriculum after the 1988 Education Act. What did the changes mean to them? How did they perceive their impact upon their work, on standards in the curriculum, on assessment and testing, and on their relationships with pupils and colleagues? How did they cope with stress, long working hours, intrusions into their home lives, and with change imposed from outside? The authors capture in detail the views of thirty infant teachers and compare their subjective perceptions, dominated by a sense of massive change, with the objective record of both continuities and changes in their work.
THE HURTING finds DS Angus Thoroughgood recovering from injuries from his most recent adventures in 'Parallel Lines' and questioning his career with the Glasgow police force. After handing in his resignation, Thoroughgood is pulled back into the line of duty once his recovery at the police convalescence home, Castlebrae, is complete. Terrorist attacks in and around Glasgow see Thoroughgood, alongside his partner DC Hardie, return to action. As their world as they know it and the city they love falls apart, the pair work alongside MI5 in a race to discover the source of these attacks. The second installment in the DS Thoroughgood series of novels by RJ Mitchell, The Hurting picks up right where Parallel Lines left off and sends Thoroughgood and Hardie on a rollercoaster ride through Glasgow's seedy underworld and that of international terrorism.

Throughout biblical history, some faiths have fought and argued over the bloodlines of Isaac and Ishmael and the covenant God made through Abraham. Many consider the two brothers as the father of the Jews and the father of the Arabs. In this story the two bloodlines stem into present day Megiddo, Israel when King Rueben Tobias, a Jew, marries a Muslim princess, Senobia. Turmoil amongst the Jews and Muslims living within the kingdom arose after the marriage in fear of the heir to the throne. Some believe religion is passed through the mother, and in this instance the Jews did not want a Muslim as the King's heir if the Queen were to bear a child. Senobia is assassinated after she bore Aramon. This caused tension between the Jews and Muslims for the next few years. However, the tension becomes much worse when King Rueben decides to remarry, this time to Avigail, an American Christian. The confrontations between the Jews and Muslims have now included the Christian citizens of Megiddo after the birth of Avigail's son, Aden. King Ruben's once harmonious kingdom of the three faiths has now risen to a kingdom of violence, hatred and discrimination amongst the citizens. Uneasy sleep leads the King into a dream where he is met by an angel. The angel tells Rueben of his bloodline of his forefather Isaac and his late wife's bloodline to Ishmael. The angel explains the catastrophic events that will take place in the near future if his oldest son succeeds the throne and the importance of Aden becoming the next King. King Rueben explains his dream to Avigail as Aramon, unfortunately, overhears his future to be King is no more. Struck with jealousy, Aramon is quickly influenced by a fallen angel, Sappharus, and plots to kill his family in order to become the successor to the throne. After the death of King Rueben, Aramon claims the throne and under his rule Christians and Jews live in a society of unfair persecution. Aramon's only threat is his baby brother Aden. By the protection of the Chieftain Angel of God, Michael, Aden must fulfill his destiny and claim the throne as the rightful heir. As an adult, Aden's confrontation with his brother ignites war between the Israeli and Megiddo armies, a supernatural war between angels and demons and a climactic battle between Sappharus and Michael. These events impact faiths all over the world, which soon lead to the war of all wars-Armageddon.
