2028: The Rebellion
Every family hides a story. Some keep a secret. The O’Sullivans keep a legacy of magic.
This is a Trumpian Fantasy. It imagines what could happen if Trump wins in 2020 and beyond. It is a work of fiction, but it is an attempt to extrapolate what it might look like if Republican and Evangelical policies were implemented, backed by an empowered Trump who has declared himself President for Life.

N. L. Brisson
Nancy Brisson, that’s me, but as an author I use N. L. Brisson. For the past decade I have been watching news, reading newspapers and books, with a focus on politics and writing on first one website, The Brissioni Blog at Blogspot, and then at Word Press on a site entitled The Armchair Observer. Retirement gave me an opportunity to tune into politics at a very turbulent time, a time when people like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and others seemed to delight in whipping some Middle-class Americans into a frenzy that led to a disavowal of compassion for those less fortunate than themselves. Factories sat empty and later homes sat empty as the Great Recession hit America and we forgot that selfishness never profits anyone; it only makes life meaner and divides a nation that prides itself on being united.

Themes at the Heart of Tara’s Tales
In Tara’s Tales, legacy is not a distant echo but a living presence. Tara’s journey reveals how each generation inherits more than memories — they carry dreams left unfinished, wounds left unhealed, and hopes left untold. As she uncovers her family’s hidden past, she learns that legacy is both burden and blessing, a thread connecting the living and the lost.
The novel gently reminds readers that to understand ourselves, we must listen to the voices that came before us — those who shaped our hearts long before we spoke our first word.
At the heart of Tara’s Tales lies a love story between sisters — not romantic love, but the quiet, steadfast devotion that defies distance and even death. Tara’s search for Nimah becomes a journey through grief, memory, and reconciliation, echoing the pain of losing someone who still feels near. Through dreams and whispered myths, the novel captures the raw ache of loss and the healing power of remembrance.
It celebrates sisterhood as both wound and wonder — a reminder that love between siblings is a bond even the veil of time cannot sever.
Magic in Tara’s Tales is not mere fantasy; it is the language of the soul. Each enchantment and spell reflects the quiet alchemy of human experience — how kindness can heal, faith can awaken, and forgiveness can transform even the darkest sorrow. Through the fairies’ shimmering world, the novel explores how belief gives meaning to life’s mysteries. The magic serves as a mirror, revealing the invisible forces that move within us — love, grief, courage, and hope.
It reminds readers that sometimes the most extraordinary wonders are hidden in ordinary hearts.
Tara’s Tales invites readers to see the delicate dance between light and darkness within every soul. Aunt Leah’s wisdom, the Fairy King’s temptation, and Tara’s awakening illustrate the eternal struggle between reason and faith, duty and desire. The novel paints a world where neither light nor shadow can exist alone — each defines the other, shaping the choices that lead us toward truth.
In confronting both her fear and her longing, Tara learns that harmony is not found in denying the darkness but in embracing it, transforming shadow into strength and pain into purpose.
