Zygier'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.
