The Year That Will Shock the World

By Courtney Pierce

2021 will be an epic year, one that will change the course of future history. Events soon to unfold will enlighten humanity to heights far above the current disillusionment of nasty politics. Like all good books, the climax of a story is the showdown between good and evil, light and dark, right and wrong, truth and lies. Clarity emerges to conclude the story as it began—a Revolution—with our hero of the story forever changed.

We're about to come full circle to reclaim what we didn't know we'd lost. 

Every writer knows that the most important emotional moment of a book is at the 70% mark when "all hope is lost." Yes, the 50% mark is the exciting climax, with our hero in the height of battle with outside forces, but when "all hope is lost," it is the internal battle that becomes more important. Our hero hits an emotional bottom by what he/she feels: betrayed, trapped, oppressed, or disillusioned. The weakest, most vulnerable moment requires a hero to dig deep to find strength. Then a choice must be made.

Here's the backstory for what we're living in real time. In the coming months, maybe sooner, it will surely be the front story. 

Over 245 years ago, our great country was born into a Republic of thirteen colonies based on a foundation of law and order, freedom, morality, and spirituality. The Constitution was designed to represent the people, all the people, and the people were in charge. That's where our country's story began. Since then, we've been in a relentless battle to maintain our original freedoms. This has resulted in assassinations, wars, scandals, corruption, crimes, manipulation, and oppression.

A free people are a threat. The masses must be controlled.

In the late 1800s, our liberties were secretly sold. The Republic was no longer representing "the people." Many Americans have no idea of this little-known fact in our country's history. At the end of the Civil War, the United States became a "Corporation" after going bankrupt. President Woodrow Wilson did a deal with the Devil to get the country out of deep debt. We, the people, became the collateral for a loan from the global banking Cabal that was comprised of international elite families, the British Royal Family, and the Vatican. This group of foreign entities has "owned" our country ever since. We ceased to be a Democratic Republic. That's why the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service were created. Every dollar we earn or save has enslaved us to pay the country's debt to these foreign entities.

An amazing transaction happened in 2020. The United States of America Corporation was dissolved.

The battle to take back our country has begun, hence the election mess, a weaponized pandemic, and a battle with Big Tech. The Cabal includes China. If we win this digital war, our country will be returning to it's original Constitutional structure of a Republic, and our currency will become real money again with a transition back to the Gold Standard. The international Cabal has much to protect in making sure this transition doesn't happen.

To compound the assault, dissolution of the Corporation is not supported by everyone in our representative government. There are many corrupt politicians paid off by the Cabal, on both sides of aisle, who also have much to lose from their ill-gotten self-enrichment on the backs of the American people.

America ceases to be great when its leaders cease working for the greater good.   

In this fight, the people have been stripped of their freedoms and bombarded with propaganda. Who would have dreamed Americans could be canceled and censored for mere independent thought? No healthy debate is allowed for different points-of-view. Instead, everyone who challenges the narrative is accused of systemic racism, while a blind eye is turned to true violence. Peaceful voices are deemed to be domestic terrorism. Mandates of masks and lockdowns have crushed independent businesses. Orders for families to separate for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hanukkah seem utterly unthinkable in America. But the unthinkable is happening now, as if we're living inside a real dystopian novel.

We're in that dark moment of the story where our hero is awakened to fight. And fight we will, summoning hope and belief against all odds. Pain will become motivation to rise to save our country. Light will prevail over dark. Truth will become strength.

And that's what we're living through at this amazing moment in time. The stakes have risen far above the noisy fray of bickering political parties. This has everything to do with America taking back its independence and thwarting a foreign takeover. The public needs the truth—no matter how heinous what we learn—because on the other side of all this, we'll have unity.

We're sheep no more. We won't allow our civil liberties to be weaponized against us. And we authors won't allow our books to be banned or manipulated on search engines for what we write, nor will we endure our Tweets tagged as disinformation, or have our websites blown off servers for how we voted.

Bring on 2021. This is America.

When Aubrey Cenderon moves to Montana after the death of her father, the peace and quiet of Big Sky Country becomes complicated with a knock on the door from the sheriff. An injured grizzly bear is on the loose and it must be eliminated before it kills again.

Burst into Spring

By Courtney Pierce

There’s a reason Stravinsky wrote the “Rite of Spring” back in 1913. The shock of the new. Dissident and harmonic. Smooth and violent. The piece embodies our inner core

of change from winter to spring with all its raging hormones.

The spring season begins and ends with weather, the tease of one warm day after a crust of morning frost. The birdbath yawns to reject the decomposing leaves. Heat waves whirl and retreat, but not enough to push back dormant eggs of hatching insects. In the early morning hours, birds awaken with a piccolo call for their species. If one stands in the dark to listen, breath won’t make a sound as it streams and dissipates. In an instant, clouds boil and blacken to drop an opaque curtain of hail.

I love the spring season, the renewal of it the earth, the savagery of its power to awaken

our primal instincts. The promise of fresh vegetables begins with taking a chance on the wild weather: tornadoes, wall clouds, and flying fat snowflakes. I’m never more motivated and childlike than with the unpredictability of spring. Grab a spade and join me to dig in the dirt, grounded in mud. The earth comes out of cold storage and rises up to fertilizer-heated starters of broccoli, carrots, beans, and peas.

With spring, too, there comes an unseen energy that powers animals from within. Romance is in the air, at any age. I can attest to this. At 57, I’m getting married in June, and I feel like a teenager. The pull of a mate is indescribable, and not just to take out the garbage or fix a faulty electrical outlet. This mate's a keeper for airy and heavy conversation, wishes and dreams, and for fantasies of life. I'm a lucky girl this spring.

For thousands of years, not much has changed in our internal commitment to the change of season. Well...maybe one exception . . . the post office. What ever happened to “No matter rain, snow, sleet, or hail, the post office will deliver the mail”? In this last snowstorm, it took two weeks to get my mail. For some reason, though, it only to took days to get my WiFi and cable TV back. And even less for the only entry in the mailbox: my honeymoon lingerie. Hmmm....the old and the new.
