The perceived themes of this second anthology essentially cover aggression, transgression, progression and its nemesis of regression which are all impacting worldwide, and certainly not new phenomena as evidenced throughout history. Aggression has a vehicle not only in military might but also in bullying, body language, a war of words and propaganda, all acting as powerful, pervasive and persuasive threats or weapons and inducing duress. Transgression is particularly visible in the political arena where holding onto power, breaking rules, being a stranger to the truth, exhibiting widespread and uninhibited hubris and brazenly "getting away with it" is endemic - the people's government is an apparent misnomer, whereby a self-serving government not fit for purpose does not prioritise nor enact the needs of the people it was duly elected to represent. Progression, interpreted as the advancement and prevalence of good, is often counteracted by regression and retrograde outcomes via evil raising its ugly head. Civilisation should be at its zenith in the 21st century, but the world is in a quandary, waiting and hoping for the cavalry to arrive! As a global community, and forerunners of the future, we have to ensure that it does.

Three little birds is a real life account of what it's like to experience infant loss. The book is based on Liana Stemp who's life through pregnancy, birth and babies has been anything from easy.

A self-illuminating white ribbon spiralled in the gloom. Appearing slowly as though she had willed them into existence, the ribbon became a T and a C. As they approached her they quivered and more letter appeared until the ribbon read: Terms and Conditions.

The premise for this book was an introspection into Information Technology (IT) which I felt has neither been done before or in this style. All the events and conversations written have all happened and, to reduce folk's embarrassment, everyone in the book has been given an appropriate nickname to hide their true identity.
