Neroptesean The Water Traveler

Genetic obsession, interdimensional intrigue, and one woman caught between freedom and fate.
Nerovia lives in 4130, on a Pangea-like Earth, hiding her true identity.
Beneath her ethereal beauty lies a secret lineage: she is Neroptesean, descendant of ancient water nymphs, super-perennial beings once revered as demi-gods, now hunted as non-humans. Her gift is as rare as it is perilous: by immersing her foot in water, she induces electromagnetic superconductivity and slips between parallel universes, teleporting into different spacetimes.
To the Confederation’s Biogeneticists, her DNA is the key to immortality. To the Secure Deities Operations Agency (SDO), she is the perfect spy, breaching other cosmoses. And to the sworn enemies of her kind, the Gaiostasians, she is nothing less than an anomaly marked as the enemy. When Mnemea, an elderly archivist, uncovers the truth of Nerovia’s origins, against the will of Persa, her protective grandmother, Nerovia begins to understand the scale of her potential.
One day, during a leap to a future timeline, she stumbles upon a scheme that threatens to annihilate her world. Caught between the Biogeneticists’ ambitions, the SDO, and the Gaiostasian enmity, Nerovia must choose: prevent it, risking her freedom and her very life, or bury the truth and watch destiny unfold.

In The Oblivion of Borrowed Time

She hunts anomalies until she becomes one. The fight for Earth’s future begins in the shadows of her own mind.
The year is 2080, and the overpopulated planet lives in a one-season era: a suffocating perpetual summer. Forests have fallen, wildlife retreats to the edges of existence, while megadroughts, depletion of food resources, and abnormal natural phenomena promote mental illness, leading to insecurity and riots.
To counterbalance the losses, DANEB emerges: a worldwide alliance, investigating these anomalies, ensuring the planet’s survival while attempting to restore the four seasons. Aethra Ortygeans has dedicated her life to this mission. A gifted investigator hiding her bizarre mental condition, she is drawn into a confrontation with Telos Spikeleaf, a dangerous activist who wishes to exploit society’s distressed morale.
As his coup threatens to topple the last semblance of order, Aethra worries her hallucinations may be more than symptoms of the one-season syndrome … they may be a message.
Once this message becomes clear, the unsettling truth changes not only the planet’s fate, but Aethra’s very identity. Agent Aethra Ortygeans is not who she thought she was!

Dog Training

They Talk? What Do They Say?

Each species has its own means of vocal communication and undeniably it produces sounds.
We humans talk, cats mewing and dogs bark - sometimes more than we can tolerate.
The purpose of this brief booklet is to highlight the reasons and the importance of barking.
Once the reasons are established, you will discover the beauty of this language and how great it is to communicate with dogs.
Dogs vocalize and use body language to express their emotional state.
When they are happy, scared, anxious, stressed, frustrated, nervous, suffering from injury or illness, they will communicate it.
Our role as caring, dog-guardians is to ensure their physical and emotional prosperity. The objective is not to eliminate the language, but to understand it and recognize the causes that motivate it.
Taking away any form of expression, would be unfair and inhumane.

Ils Parlent? Que Disent-ils?

VERSION FRANCAISE

Chaque espèce a ses propres moyens de communication vocale et indéniablement elle produit des sons. Nous, les humains, parlons, les chats miaulent et nos chiens aboient - parfois plus que ce que nous pouvons tolérer .... Le but de ce livret bref - mais inclusif - est de mettre en évidence les raisons et l'importance des aboiements. Une fois les raisons établies, vous découvrirez la beauté de cette langue et combien il est agréable de communiquer avec eux. Nos chiens vocalisent et utilisent le langage corporel pour exprimer leur état émotionnel. Lorsqu'ils sont heureux, effrayés, anxieux, stressés, frustrés, nerveux, souffrants de blessures ou de maladies, ils nous le communiqueront. Notre rôle en tant que gardiens de chiens est de veiller à leur prospérité physique et émotionnelle. L'objectif n'est pas d'éliminer le langage, mais de le comprendre et de reconnaître les causes qui le motivent. D'ôter toute forme d'expression serait injuste et inhumain.
