An Inside Job is a gripping story of life as a chaplain inside Lincoln prison, a local jail opened in 1872. Joy Osborne writes from the heart with sensitivity and passion. The reader is drawn into a world which is generally unknown to the public. Following theological training, Joy felt God calling her beyond the church building to work inside the prison walls with some of the country's most prolific offenders. She shared in the lives of those shunned by society and saw beyond crimes committed to the person's humanity. Inside the busy jail, it was often ministry on the 'hoof', responding to an immediate crisis. Being ready with a listening ear, advice, compassion, an offer of help and prayers when requested were just part of a busy day. The challenges of prison life are portrayed in this book and are felt by the reader as they journey with Joy on an amazing walk through the prison and beyond.

The roadside fairies have lived alongside us for many years, living by paths in secret dwellings across the lands before there were major roads and motor vehicles. Their main role was to heal creatures when they became ill or sustained injuries using their magic and potions. Over time, the roadside fairies had to readjust and move their dwellings due to major roads being built and vehicles becoming extremely fast and dangerous. The creatures of the forests needed the roadside fairies help more than ever as more and more where being injured.
