Genre: SciFi Dystopian Romance

 

A plague for a plague, to make the human race pay
For the destruction of a planet which was not theirs to slay

Mankind’s day of reckoning is coming and all hopes lie on the shoulders of one young Wicca. Only Cady Leigh can harness the elements and reconcile old friendships if she is to save mankind from Mother Nature’s wrath.

Set three hundred years in the future, the impact of global warming has divided the nation into two opposing societies. Cady Leigh’s family are Wiccans and the healers of their underground traditionalist community, so when a craft from the opposing technologist’s society crashes near her home, Cady saves a wounded technologist teenager Drew Kemp and brings him to live with her family.

Like all technologists, Drew has a nanochip implant and uses it to spy on the traditionalist villagers to root out the terrorists who attack the metropolis he calls home. However, he falls in love with the independent and spirited young Wicca, Cady. When he reveals the truth to her, she feels betrayed and rejects him, so he returns to his city alone.

Some years later, due to the damage inflicted on the Earth by humans, mother nature unleashes her displeasure on mankind in the form of a dangerous virus. Passionate about healing, Cady travels to the technologist’s city in search for a cure. But in a world of science and fact, Cady’s Wiccan roots start to reveal themselves at the worst time and her paranormal abilities to harness the elements evokes fear and oppression in the technologists around her.
When Cady discovers her abilities are more significant, that she is in fact the final hope to redeem mankind, she must turn to Drew to help her navigate this new world and find a cure.

The Catalyst is quiet.

Kari struggles with the damage she did when she lost control.  Her loved ones suffered at her hands, leaving Ari scarred in ways she will never be able to ignore.

How he survived?  Only the Seraph of Nalmi knows.

Then a request arrives, a simple task compared to everything else she has been through: travel as Freehaven’s emissary and meet with Brianna, a now-ancient half demon who destroyed the first demon city across the sea – and who may have some information on defeating the Catalyst for good.  Kari, Ari, and Guine prepare to cross the Demon Sea…

But the shadows await them.

Educational Disobedience

Published on by mariacatalinaegan1 Comment

 

























Nonfiction / Education

Date Published: 10-06-2024


 

Educational Disobedience is a compelling and transformative guide for parents, educators, and advocates committed to reimagining traditional educational systems. Drawing from her extensive experience as an educator, homeschool advocate, and law enforcement professional, Dr. Mabry challenges the conventional paradigms of schooling that often fail underserved and marginalized students. With practical advice and deeply personal insights, she explores how parents can use homeschooling to reclaim their children’s education.

Dr. Mabry argues that educational disobedience is not about defiance but about empowerment—empowering parents to resist systems that perpetuate inequity and disempower children, particularly those from at-risk communities. She provides a roadmap for creating individualized, flexible learning paths that focus on student well-being, literacy, and personal growth. The book also highlights how cooperative educational models, like her own Tiers Free Homeschool Cooperative, can serve as community-driven alternatives to traditional schooling.

Educational Disobedience is not only a call to action but a beacon of hope for parents seeking to revolutionize their children’s learning experience. It’s a must-read for those ready to challenge the status quo and advocate for educational justice.
