Not For Women Only: Short Stories for a Lazy Day
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99Zygier’s first book, Not-For-Women-Only, Short Stories for a Lazy Day is written for people that can sit somewhere quiet with a cup of coffee or tea, OK, maybe with a glass of wine, and read. Though the title might suggest that only women can or should read it, doesn’t mean men can’t. The stories might also imply that it’s only subject is a woman and a man
bumping into themselves on a street corner, though that’s not a bad idea, it’s really much more than that. Yes, they do meet, otherwise what is the point? So, yes, they do meet in a street, on an elevator, parachuted into Afghanistan with a special force’s unit to a young woman that feels that she should have the same equality as men in Victorian England and dresses like a man then finds herself in love with an aristocrat that thinks it’s his sister and both end up in India. Since Zygier had a stint in the army, he takes that thought in many ways. Some sad, some funny and some serious. Such as an officer in Afghanistan that saves a female reporter from a sniper to a General that doesn’t want to get involved with women till he’s stuck on a plane with one. Though this is Zygier’s first book, he started to write as a hobby and later joined a writer’s group. There he was encouraged to put some stories together and publish them. -
A People Set Apart
Price range: $3.99 through $26.99When chance, the flamboyant scion of a well-to-do family, makes it to the United States from his war-torn Biafra, it doesn’t occur to him that life isn’t going to be the same as it is in his homeland.
But he learns fast. And by sheer will and personal grit, he is able to bulldoze his way in his new abode. Turning adversities into advantage he develops one of the most enduring relationships ever imagined. Turnkey, his nemesis turns friend, and over a short period of time, that metamorphosis yields an instant result. Chance schools him to change course and makes him to understand that he can buy himself out of the box seemingly reserved for him and his ilk that will place him in low level of society’s cadet in perpetuity. Having seen the light, they hit the ground running. Their friendship bossoms, and Chance becomes his greatest confidante.
When Chance offers to take him and a group of his American friends to his homeland of Biafra, a country remembered in flashpoints of war and pillage and destruction, and man’s inhumanity to man, Turnkey is there to defend his friend and dispel all erroneous notions of a people he hasn’t met except one man.
Biafra, plundered since time immemorial, and thought dead, has risen from the ashes of pillagery by dint, and indefatigable spirit of her irrepressible people to hoist her flag in the firmament for all to see. In Biafra, Africa is unbound.
Turnkey, a fortuitious child, and even luckier than a cat with more than nine lives, doesn’t leave anything to chance. Like his father, he toils from a young age knowing where he’s coming from but also with an eye to where he’s heading to. Yet, it’s him that the mighty God has had his path cleared before him.
And when fortune smiles on him owing to a huge bequeathal of his granduncle, it’s to Chance that he turns to, and it’s in his friend’s homeland that he chooses to invest his largesse because he wholeheartedly believes that they’re a people a set apart in spite of the challenges right and about them.

The Max Faraday Chronicles
$14.99Who am I and why should you read my story? My name is Max Faraday. Nobody is going to believe me, but here I am putting it all down on paper. I am a man of two time periods. Forgive me, this sci-fi stuff is new to me.
A week or more ago, in July 2002, I came home for my 1982 high school class reunion. I was staying with my friend Jamie Scott and his family. On the way home from the reunion, we picked up his kids at the babysitter. Their little girl comes out and bounces a ball that tumbles out of her hands into the street.
Just as we arrived, a car speeds up and my instincts take over. I pick her up and get her out of the way, but I was then hit by the speeding car! Stunned, I wake up in September 1978! I am a thirty-eight-year-old man in a fourteen-year-old’s body! I can’t tell anyone, or they would lock me up, thinking I’m crazy! I know I would.
So here I am in the eighth grade all over again. When I went to bed in 1978, I woke up in a coma in 2002, wondering about the driver who ran me over.
