“When fear is used to control us, love is how we rebel!”

The Dandelion Insurrection is a wild adventure of nonviolent revolution in the United States. Under a gathering storm of tyranny, Zadie Byrd Gray whirls into the life of Charlie Rider and asks him to become the voice of the Dandelion Insurrection. With the rallying cry of life, liberty, and love, Zadie and Charlie fly across America leaving a wake of revolution in their path. Passion erupts. Danger abounds. The lives of millions hang by a thin thread of courage, but in the midst of the madness, the golden soul of humanity blossoms . . . and miracles start to unfold!

This stirring story of love and revolution is a community published book, made possible by people like you . . .

A revolution is happening in the arts and social causes. All of our old systems are crumbling in the fertile ground of the new. As an author, I am moving beyond the realms of independent publishing into the unchartered territory of ‘interdependent’ publishing. A novel like The Dandelion Insurrection arises through the collected enthusiasm of readers, supporters, visionaries, editors, and a whole community of people from around the globe! It is an incredible change to the publishing industry that allows we, the people, to seize the reins of narration and change the story of the world! It’s an exciting time and I invite you to be a part of it by supporting this Community Published Book.

Thank you everyone! Watch our Indiegogo video . . . if only to see me baking bread in my adobe oven in my cut-off shorts . . . and join me on this adventure of releasing The Dandelion Insurrection!

In other news, my kale is growing vibrantly, the wild baby lizards are the size of my toe, my mother is getting remarried in a week, and I’ll be visiting the Crown of Maine (stayed tuned for photos and videos of the St. John Valley, the setting of the Dandelion Insurrection’s  opening scenes). Dariel is happy as a desert clam in the earthship, cultivating eight-foot tall tomato trees and doing a wonderful job getting these heart-warming stories of mine into your hands!

I hope your summer has been filled with warmth and abundance! I’ll leave you with some excerpts from the Dandelion Insurrection.

See more on our Indiegogo campaign and in my Facebook Notes. Twitter fans will be enjoying a beautiful collection of short quotes that can be shared with friends.

“The Dandelion Insurrection was as small as baking bread in your oven, and as large as bringing down dictators. It was practical and metaphorical, symbolic and literal. It was real. It was legend. It spread hope. It grew kindness. It sowed the seeds of resistance in the ground of adversity. In the soil of oppression, in the shadow of fear, in the stranglehold of tyranny, in the death grip of greed, when the concrete of control paved the goodness of the heart, the Dandelion Insurrection sprang up through the cracks.” The Dandelion Insurrection -love and revolution by Rivera Sun

“We must show them that the greatest force on earth is not the government, not the corporations, and not the military . . . the greatest force on earth is the love of the people for each other!” The Dandelion Insurrection -love and revolution by Rivera Sun
