Designer Josie Fabre has developed a new technique that allows for much quicker creation of the Peyote stitch. This is often the first stitch learned by beginning stitchers and is extremely time-consuming. By using a technique she developed, combined with her own, original, multi-drop, even-count, flat peyote patterns she has simplified the process. Keeping beginners in mind the book has 25+ beautiful projects designed with a minimum of colors in each pattern to making the patterns easier to follow and faster to create. Her inspired bracelet patterns range from the traditional wide to slim width, some include clean edging, some are finished with a stitched toggle clasp, and others use a double clasp. While bracelets are the main jewelry piece created in peyote stitch, Josie has also added necklaces and earrings to her mix in this book.

Following Meltdown is presented in a multiple narrative style. It features a dystopian atmosphere in the wake of global pandemics including one started by the fad of keeping Congo rats for pets. Psychological aspects include violent reactions to abuse. The vet, Gabriel Harrison, who has been conscripted into teaching in his local High School, finally decides to opt out of a society growing in violence in defiance of stringent laws and constant surveillance. In spite of his reluctance to help others a small group, on realising his ability to survive by bushcraft, join him. Unanticipated consequences push him into a position of becoming aware of an insane individual behind the current global suffering and leads to the formation of the World Liberation Army: something of a coup in psychological manipulation.
