Sinopsis

Staff Required tells the stories of three remarkable young men who live and die in different worlds and yet are able to work together to bring about changes in the lives of people on Earth today. Fairy Jim is abandoned as a young teenager in the 1930?s and despite his learning difficulties and disabilities, has a life full of adventure and fun, surviving well into his eighties by using his wit and charm on the people in the hills and dales of Cumbria and Yorkshire. His spirit lives on in what he calls his heaven. Ravello is one of the youngest and least experienced of a select group of pioneers from the planet Zagore. Their task, ten thousand years ago, is the colonisation of their newly discovered 'saviour' planet - Earth. Ravello?s sheer determination and incredible courage and integrity helps him overcome the ultimate tests of betrayal, mistrust and death and his spirit lives on in Imprimis, the Zagorean name for their spirit world. Josh is a typical 'ordinary' teenage product of the late twentieth century battling with family traumas and difficult personal relationships as he grows up in the North of England. His family is torn apart by jealousy, mistrust and tragedy and he is desperate to heal these wounds either in this world or the next. The challenges they face throughout their lives are enormously different and how they embrace them and deal with them has a major impact on their future lives and afterlives. What can a young man possibly teach older, wiser spirits about their roles as guides to the ones they have left behind? The novel explores the importance of reconciliation and forgiveness in this world and the next and looks at what the future may hold for us all - if we want it and are prepared to earn it.
