Irene Roman never wanted to be a hero. She was a scientist living an otherwise normal life, and that was enough for her. One fateful evening, though, Irene discovers a betrayal that undermines everything—one event that in the blink of an eye, changes not only her life but the future of the entire planet.Now the world is inhabited by people with powers and abilities far above those of mortal humans. The repercussions of superhuman battles on the Earth are great and terrible. Lives are shattered, communities destroyed, and mankind’s destiny is plucked from its grasp. At the center of it all is Irene, who not only is one of two people on the planet who knows the cause of this unbelievable change, but she is one of the few people who may be able to stop it. The only problem is the only other person will do anything in his vast power to keep the world in its terrible altered state.Who dares to claim the right to choose humanity’s fate? What price will Irene pay to be the hero she never wanted to be? In the end, will Earth return to the safety of the mundane … or will it remain in the chaos of the superhuman and the supernatural?

Three months ago, the Whiteout changed the nature of reality across the globe, spawning superhuman beings, both good and evil. Each day since then, Irene Roman, armed only with a strange immunity from the powers of the “Pushed,” has donned the guise of Indomitable to try to reverse that change and protect normal people from the worst excesses of the Pushed. She never wanted to be a hero, but she had no choice in the matter.Unfortunately, Irene is still only mortal. Her never-ending duties have driven her to a breaking point. Now, what began as a simple kidnapping investigation changes overnight into the worst threat the city of Atlanta has faced. An unholy plague, old enemies, and new challenges all collide, landing squarely on Indomitable’s shoulders, despite the help of her small cadre of allies.How great a burden can any one person carry, and how much strain can she take? Will Irene crumble, or will she prove to be indefatigable?

Irene Roman, a.k.a Indomitable, and the heroes of Atlanta have lost their battles against evil. Now, with Irene languishing in prison with no hope of escape, Atlanta has become the personal fiefdom of a man who is losing control of himself and his army of extremist Pushed vigilantes. When a mysterious force gives Irene a chance to regain her freedom, she is forced to embrace new allies and recover old ones in an attempt to free her home city. All roads lead toward a final confrontation, one that will decide the fate of a city as well as the ultimate fate of the Pushed in the world. Condemnation or acceptance, villainy or heroism, life or death—it is time to decide!

Magitech High is a young-adult romantic adventure set in modern day America with a twist of fantasy.Twenty years after the signing of the second Yellowstone Treaty in the wake of a brutal battle, and the grand reveal to humans of the existence of magical creatures, an uneasy truce stands in place between the US Federal Government and the North American Fairy Kingdom, two political superpowers on the brink of war. Political tensions and racial hatred are high on both sides as a bookish teenage girl with a knack for engineering, Emma Bridges, begins classes as the first human 'integration student' to attend Magitech High, a boarding school specifically for magical creatures. There she soon learns how to navigate the plethora of new species and new realities she must face as part of her role as pioneer. She also meets Rockheart, a rugged woodland fairy with a murky past who calls her his 'favorite enemy,' yet seems to go out of his way to protect her. As children in the area go missing, and Rockheart stands accused by a shadowy government agent of being involved, Emma is forced to chose the route she will take as she desperately tries to define her relationship with her 'favorite enemy' while avoiding any actions that could lead directly to a full-scale war between superpowers.

“Ugg! I will never learn these spelling words.” My oldest son grumbled to me one Saturday night. With a solid “F” grade listed on last week’s spelling test and faced with a list of fifteen new words he had to memorize by Friday, his little soul shrank within his frame as self-doubt crept into his mind. “Well, what if your words were incorporated in a story?” I asked him. “The stories we read at school are boring.” He complained. “What if I wrote the story?” I asked back. He squinted at me and replied skeptically “It could work…” He continued “Only if you make it a cool story with ninjas and zombies and stuff.” I replied “I can do that.” Ever weekend since then, throughout the entirety of his third-grade year, I wrote one short story after another making sure to include his spelling words for that week in the tale. What follows here is those stories. The spelling words in each story are highlighted in bold. This can be used as a learning aid for typical 3rd-grade level spelling words, or just for a series of interesting stories. Either way, enjoy.
