Parallel Lines is an edgy, fast-paced crime thriller set in the streets of Glasgow that tells the story of the deadly rivalry between Detective Sergeant Gus Thoroughgood and his criminal nemesis, Declan Meechan. With Meechan on the verge of complete control of Glasgow's lucrative drug trade after bludgeoning his rivals into bloody submission, Thoroughgood vows to be the cop that will bring the crime lord down. The lethal intensity of their conflict is heightened by the presence of Celine Lynott, the woman who broke Thoroughgood's heart ten years earlier, and looks set to do so all over again when she agrees to be Meechan's wife. Parallel Lines is a powerful and compelling story with a real sting in the tail. About the Author: R. J.

After a twelve-year Police career, in which he undertook a variety of uniform and plain clothes duties, he left to begin a new career as a sportswriter. He is currently a sportswriter with the Glasgow Evening Times. Publisher's website: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/ParallelLines-TheGlasgowSupremacy.html

More Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture: 30 Stickley Designs for Every Room in the Home (Shop Drawings series)

More Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture: 30 Stickley Designs for Every Room in the Home (Shop Drawings series) Review



Here are working shop drawings for 30 pieces of household furniture by Gustav Stickley and his contemporaries the Craftsman movement. Every type of furniture is represented here: chairs, chests of drawers, wall shelves, book cases, sideboards, dining tables, occasional tables, beds, and rockers. These construction drawings present all the information a woodworker needs to reproduce each piece in his own workshop. Each project includes a perspective view along with elevations, sections and details, plus a complete bill of materials. The introductory chapters give basic technical information about choosing wood, layout and construction techniques, and assembly methods, with a special section on finishing.Craftsman, Mission, Arts and Crafts: these names all conjure the sturdy, straightforward and immensely popular furniture designed by Gustav Stickley and his associates early in the 20th Century. Despite its popularity, until now there has not been a comprehensive book of shop drawings to guide today's builder. These shop drawings have been taken directly from original Craftsman catalogs, with measurements and details carefully checked against authentic Craftsman antique furniture. This book gives the woodworker the heart of the Craftsman aesthetic in an attractive, practical, and durable format.

Big Boots and Black Hair Dye

Big Boots and Black Hair Dye Review



Big Boots and Black Hair Dye is a compilation of stories, poetry, and strongly-opinionated personal writings brought to you by a 19 year-old writing student by the name of Carmela Hayslett. The overall theme is self-exploration with poetry about finding yourself within and writings about the maturing of wisdom. Most stories written for the book were based on personal experiences that were brought to life with a fictional edge. The author speaks candidly about her own personal experiences with surviving a car wreckage, opposing alcohol and drugs, and surviving failed relationships. The stories includes the tale of a young boy named Martin Wolfpack. Martin decides to leave his family to live as a savage in the supposed "dangerous" woods in his quest to avenge his brother's death and become knighted. In "Mend My Heart" you are brought into a world where Dominick is being tortured and pestered by the alter-ego of his ex-girlfriend just after he broke up with her. Other tales include a metaphysical story about a fearful girl who's biggest dream is to ride a motorcycle and restore the memory of her forgotten and departed uncle. You will also be introduced to an aspiring actress with an anger problem, vampires who engage into a brutal fight for vengeance, and also a group of goofy kids who are trying to sell lemonade in the hottest summer of their lives.Big Boots and Black Hair Dye is a book for all ages with something that can be suited for everyone's reading pleasure. Whether you are an action-adventure fan or are looking for a dose of children's humor to read to your kids, this book delivers story-telling in various forms. The main motivation of the book is to expand a reader's thinking and inspire decent acts of courage, loyalty, and compassion.

Mid-Century Modern: Interiors, Furniture, Design Details (Conran Octopus Interiors S.)

Mid-Century Modern: Interiors, Furniture, Design Details (Conran Octopus Interiors S.) Review



The 1950’s house was a scientific triumph, designed in a laboratory and tested on inhabitants of all ages before being built for the masses. Never had homes been so thoroughly contemporary, with antiques and period styles entirely banished. Mid-Century Modern explores the interior decor of this seminal decade, concentrating on all aspects of a home's decoration—walls, flooring, surfaces, lighting, and, of course, furniture. Case studies examine beautiful present-day homes that exhibit mid-century style in an exemplary way, and suggest ideas for taking the 1950’s look—complete with collector's pieces—and mixing and matching it with elements from other eras.
