  Watergate: The Scandal That...

  Increasingly and mistakenly viewed as a single scandal within the United States government, what is commonly referred to as the Watergate scandal serves as an overarching term for a series of scandals beginning in 1971 and extending through 1974, although more than any other, it refers to the specific break-in at the Watergate Hotel and office complex in Washington, D.C. The crisis, originating in a secretive battle between the two major political parties, the Nixon White House’s paranoia, and the ensuing conflict concerning the release of confidential information to the public, induced senior government officials into committing crimes (most notoriously petty burglary) and coverups for the purposes of character assassination and inter-political espionage, and it ultimately resulted in the first and only resignation of a sitting American president, Richard Milhous Nixon. Watergate has since become so synonymous with scandal that “gate” is typically added to the end of words associated with scandals even today. 
  	In the wake of the seemingly peculiar burglary, gradual media and judicial pursuits of the thread of scandals led from one thing to another over the following years until it began to culminate with Congressional impeachment proceedings and a momentous showdown between the President and the Supreme Court over the release of presidential tapes, a moment in which Nixon seriously considered defying the Court and initiating a constitutional crisis. When he at last surrendered them, excerpts were blatantly missing, most famously an 18 minute stretch. Given the flurry of activities, it has only been in recent years that historians have gained a full measure of the nation’s perilous status during the intense battle between the various branches of the federal government, and the American public’s view of government in general took a decidedly negative turn.

  At sixteen years old, Lily Arthur was caught between the women’s liberation movement of the ‘swinging sixties and the draconian ideology that young women should be punished for deviating from society's 'moral codes'. 
   
  For the 'crime' of being pregnant, Lily was forcibly taken from the man she planned to marry and incarcerated in the notorious Holy Cross Home for ‘wayward’ girls in Wooloowin, Brisbane as a ‘prisoner’ of the state. Lily spent her entire pregnancy performing unpaid labour its infamous Magdalene Laundry. 
   
  On 1 September 1967, the terrified teenager was taken to the Royal Brisbane Hospital where she gave birth shackled to a bed, and her newborn son cruelly stolen from her – one of 250,000 babies forcibly seized from vulnerable unmarried mothers under the Government’s illegal forced adoption policies of the era. 
   
  After decades of heartache and an emotional reunion with her long-lost son, Lily remains on a crusade to expose the truth behind the crimes a country tried to hide and has taken the fight to the Human Rights Commission in Geneva, demanding justice for a generation of women who were victims of one of the worst human rights violations in contemporary Australian history. 
   
   ‘Only a few mothers led the fight for justice, but an army of women stood behind them. Lily Arthur represents a mother who never gave up her child willingly and fought to make sure he and many other adopted children knows.’ KAREN WILSON-BUTERBAUGH, Director of Origins International and USA 
   
  ‘Deeply personal and at times very raw insight. It is compelling, powerful, intense, no holes barred narrative. It clearly shows the lifelong impact of the illegal, cruel practices of forced adoption and a mother's fight for justice." SENATOR RACHAEL SIEWERT 
   
  ‘A heart-breaking view of crimes against humanity. For almost three decades, Lily Arthur details the legalised kidnapping of babies from millions of women in Australia and elsewhere who were brainwashed to comply with society's punishment. Punishment for getting pregnant. The truth of the horrors of adoption laid bare." JOE SOLL LCSW, Psychotherapist, and author of Adoption Healing

  Moving Target - The Obedient...

  Book 2 of the Moving Target Trilogy 
  Stevie Parker thought the hard part was over. 
  She survived the phishing. The elder fraud. The romance scam that hit too close to home. She read the book, made the changes, and came out the other side prepared. Then her company got a private equity offer and someone handed her the keys to an AI rollout and told her to move fast. 
  She moved fast. 
  Moving Target: The Obedient Machine follows Stevie through the decisions that looked completely reasonable in the moment — the AI tools adopted without vetting, the policy approved without reading, the vendor demo that checked every box, the employee who was not who the resume said. Twelve mistakes in Book 1 were personal. The mistakes in this book belong to the entire organization. And the consequences are proportional. 
  Alongside Stevie's story, each chapter pulls back the curtain on a real crime operation: deepfake voice cloning, synthetic identity fraud, AI-assisted business email compromise, prompt injection, model poisoning, and the insider threat that was hiding in plain sight for eleven months before anyone looked. All of it documented. None of it theoretical. 
  This is not a book about artificial intelligence. It is a book about who is actually in control of it. The machine does not have an agenda. It is obedient. The problem is what it is being told to do, and by whom. 
  Perfect for: Anyone who adopted AI tools without a governance framework. Business leaders who approved a policy without reading it. Anyone who watched the PE deal fall apart and wondered how. Anyone who thought the breach was the worst thing that could happen — right before something worse happened. 
  This is Book 2 in the trilogy. Book 3: Ghost and the Machine -- Coming Fall 2026. Stevie stops being findable. The criminals lose the target. The machine is hers alone.

  Winner of 'Best Book' and 'Impact for Change' True Crime Awards 2025 
  The shocking true story of one of Britain’s most secretive, groundbreaking and successful police covert operations 
  Bristol, 1979. 
  An attacker roams the streets… 
  Young women are warned not to go out alone… 
  Enter the Decoys. 
  For several years, a prolific predator haunted Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police had tried all their usual tactics to catch the ‘Clifton Rapist’, and public pressure was mounting. 
  In 1979, a daring new plan was introduced, unlike anything previously attempted by a UK police force. A small group of young female officers – some aged just 18 – put their lives on the line, walking the quiet residential roads late at night, acting as bait. 
  Drawing on in-depth research and first-hand interviews with the women at the heart of the operation, Decoy is a dramatic retelling of one of the most groundbreaking agent provocateur stings in British history. 
  Decoy by Robert Murphy is a gripping non-fiction autobiography that explores the daring tactics employed by law enforcement in 1979. The book delves into the experiences of the women who served as decoys, their encounters with harassment and assault, and the social implications of their actions. 
  For fans of David Wilson (Murder at Home), Jeremy Craddock (The Jigsaw Murders), Graham Bartlett (Babes in the Wood), Ryan Green (Outback Outlaw), and David Collins (Saffie).
