The sixties were swinging - but the seventies were the hangover: darker, nastier, uglier. This cult classic, a sour antidote to A Clockwork Orange, is 'a powerfully authentic account of working-class life and gang violence in early 1970s' (Time Out). Kenny Seddon is sixteen and no longer in school, but he still lives with his mum, dad and sister on the Ashfield Valley council estate, He's pissing away his life in a series of dead-end jobs, boozed-up nights, mostly disappointing sex and confused violence. The nineteenth century cotton mills that brought prosperity have all been shut down, and Rochdale is fast decaying into just another decrepit factory town where the gangs rule. Rule of Night creates a chillingly authentic world where teenagers prowl rainy fluorescent-lit streets dressed as their Clockwork Orange anti-heroes, with a backdrop provided by Ford Cortinas, Players No. 6, the factory and the relentless struggle to maintain hope.

Volume II: "Nicholas Cummings has been called a lot of things in his life ... entrepreneur is one of them. The Cummings legacy will be voluminous and manifold. His contributions to the field have spanned the many definitions of practicing psychology – from education to policy, from business to ongoing exploration. He has been predicting trends, cautioning those who would listen, and negotiating the obstacles to efficacious delivery of quality therapeutic services for over half a century. With this book, we pause once again to revisit some of the most important of his projects as an entrepreneur. Editors Thomas, Cummings, and O’Donohue took on a difficult task when they set out to convinc...
Mischievous Rascal: Breaking the Seventh Seal is the story of a mother's unflagging zeal to correctly raise her mischievous rascal of a son and of that rascal's search, some sixty plus years later, to understand his mother's fury and his father's ghostly presence. "One's innate ability to face, overcome, and be strengthened by unpleasant experiences is key to human survival. The story reveals how one child's resiliency stood in the face of adversity." -Carol Haberberger, Special Education, County Juvenile Facility "Why Thomas didn't end up in prison is a silent miracle." -Jeanette Price, Legal Assistant "What lends depth to this work is the author's honesty in examining and understanding life Thomas' experiences in the hope of bettering his grandchildren's opportunities for health and well-being." -Arlene Landau, Therapist "The author takes us on the journey of a young boy seeking what he needed most, only to find it outside of his own family." -Cameran Haire, Corporate Managing Director
The single event that we know as 9/11 is over, but the shock waves continue to radiate outward, generated by orange alerts, terrorism lockdowns, and the shrinking of personal liberties we once took for granted. The stories in this book, of real people faced with extraordinary trauma and gradually transcending it, are the best antidote to our fears. Middletown, America is a book of hope. All Americans were hit with some degree of trauma on September 11, 2001, but no place was hit harder than Middletown, New Jersey. Gail Sheehy spent the better part of two years walking the journey from grief toward renewal with fifty members of the community that lost more people in the World Trade Center th...
This is a book for my children, my grandchildren and their children and grandchildren. It is a record about the background and history of their ancestors and my life from birth to the present.
I had been working on a book for quite some time. Finally, I was determined to complete the process. I sent my manuscript to Page Publishing for review and I was notified that my book was approved for publication. I've been working with my Publication Coordinator, Michael Yarnell. Michael has answered all of my many (many, many) questions and has guided me through the entire process. It's great to know that even though I was not familiar with the steps necessary to get my book out for distribution, Page knew what to do and the end result was a happy ending for my endeavor.
