The Ochil Hills are a special place for best friends Kristen Campbell and Laura Duncan – especially for Laura, who regards these hills as her spiritual home, holding them close to her heart. It’s a place these friends share their dreams and ambitions, disappointments and secrets, and a place they return to whenever they can. When the girls leave school and go on to universities fifty miles apart, they find themselves facing many challenges and new experiences. Kristen’s hopes and dreams to become a vet fall very much into place, especially when she meets and falls in love with fellow student Scott McCallum. And Laura’s dreams to be a journalist are going well too. Her part-time job singing and playing guitar in a little pub/restaurant in Edinburgh’s Royal Mile are everything she dreamed about and make a welcome break from studying. However, her life changes dramatically when she meets and falls in love with the dark and mysteriously handsome Edinburgh estate agent Argyle (Gyle) Jamieson. As his cold and complex character unfolds, Laura’s life is thrown into an emotional rollercoaster, and happy times are gradually replaced by disappointment and tragedy. Things take a turn for the sinister when she discovers Gyle’s secret deceptions, and her life is thrown into ultimate danger. Only the hills and her friends can save her, but is it already too late..? Where the Eagles Fly is a gripping work of adult fiction that will appeal mainly to fans of thriller novels. It will also be enjoyed by those living in Central Scotland, where the book is set.

The Sands of Time

By: Shona Paterson

When Shona Paterson lost both her parents within a short space of time, she felt as though her world had fallen apart. Although the death of her adored father was expected and accepted, painful as it was, the death of her mother a few weeks later was a complete shock. Shona found herself in a dark place, full of sadness and regrets about things she felt could have been handled better. Feeling robbed of the time she thought she still had with her mum, Shona struggled to cope with the loss. Her mum was no longer at the end of the telephone for a chat, and all the plans they had for her moving back home to Scotland, shattered. Shona was consumed with guilt about childhood sulks and teenage wilfulness, but her husband Robert encouraged her to think about all the support she had given them when they needed it most, and how valued and loved she was to them. Supported by Robert and her amazing family and friends, Shona eventually found peace by remembering the good times, growing up in a small but loving family. This book is a tribute to them, but will also strike a chord with anyone who has lost their parents.

How the Victorians Lived

By: Shona Parker

The Victorian era's societal changes and cultural advancements are explored through the lens of daily life The Victorian era is arguably the most exciting and invigorating reign of an English monarch ever, and one of progress on a massive scale. By the time Queen Victoria died in 1901, England was almost unrecognisable. The Victorians neatly avoided revolution, built upon what the Georgians started and turned the country into a political powerhouse which ran the biggest Empire the world had ever seen. Meanwhile, Victorian writers and journalists were observing, questioning, and recording for prosperity the life and times of what would become known as the Victorian era: a steady, relentless building of the modern world. Using quotes from Victorian literature, How the Victorians Lived will help you on your way to understanding how society coped with the upheaval of the industrial revolution during one of the most innovative centuries England has ever seen. This book is a detailed exploration of the daily lives of mainly working- and middle-class Victorians. It recreates the remarkable and wondrous world of the English Victorians: their traditions, their expectations, their hopes and their fears and how these have shaped the society we live in today.

The Work of the British Law Commissions

Law Reform... Now?

By: Shona Wilson Stark

The Law Commission (of England and Wales) and the Scottish Law Commission were both established in 1965 to promote the reform of the laws of their respective jurisdictions. Since then, they have each produced hundreds of reports across many areas of law. They are independent of government yet rely on governmental funding and governmental approval of their proposed projects. They also rely on both government and Parliament (and, occasionally, the courts or other bodies) to implement their proposals. This book examines the tension between independence and implementation and recommends how a balance can best be struck. It proposes how the Commissions should choose their projects given that their duties outweigh their resources, and how we should assess the success, or otherwise, of their output. Countries around the world have created law reform bodies in the Commissions' image. They may wish to reflect on the GB Commissions' responses to the changes and challenges they have faced to reappraise their own law reform machinery. Equally, the GB Commissions may seek inspiration from other commissions' experiences. The world the GB Commissions inhabit now is very different from when they were established. They have evolved to remain relevant in the face of devolution, the UK's changing relationship with the European Union, increasing pressure for accountability and decreasing funding. Further changes to secure the future of independent law reform are advanced in this book.
