Books by Jonathan Paul

Art. Art is an expression of colors; it is a symbol or faith. It is a representation of oneself. Elaine Milligan found art as an escape, a passion used to utilize what she feels is an important journey that will make her sane. Sometimes an image is not just an image. What glitters is not gold. Elaine has been putting on the perfect picture for her family and peers for so long she is ready to change the canvas of her image and just start from a blank page. Is it worth it? Starting over, does it make sense creating an image that has not been viewed for years? Elaine thinks it does not make sense, and she does not care anymore. She is not going back to the drawing board-what's the point?

Jonathan Paul goes behind the sensationalist headlines of 'child killers' to investigate why these crimes happen. He examines child homicide in today's violent, confusing world and contextualises it against the cruel unforgiving retribution of yesterday.Children are increasingly experimenting with drugs and committing offences, but there are those who commit the worst possible crimes: to end another person's life before their own could properly have begun. The cases are shocking but sometimes the path towards them is even more so. This is a fascinating exploration of disturbing events aimed at discovering what happens when childhood is trodden underfoot, and when and why kids kill.
