Introductions
Growing up, my family moved around a lot. No, we weren't military, but for whatever reason, my father thought it necessary to move his family all over and often. I remember going to 2nd grade in three different schools in the same year. This made it difficult to make and keep friends. I turned to writing early as a way to find something constant. The characters that I created always moved with me. It was comforting. I also learned quickly how to read people and what to watch for in new people I met. This is reflected in the segment you are about to read from my book, "Khizara". I hope you enjoy it ad look forward to reading the entire work later this year.
Book Excerpt
Khizara
Permac thought Karak blinked a few too many times, hesitated a bit too long before his next cordial word. Permac knew it was well beyond the courtesy of a visitor to check your host’s emotions, but he thought he felt a great deal of surprise. Surprise at what, though? He thought.
He felt a familiar prickling in his head. This Karak obviously didn’t live by the same code of courtesy Permac had learned. He wished he had been trained to shield his emotions.
A small boy suddenly emerged from the next house carrying a tray. He peered curiously at the newcomers. Karak recovered his composure and smiled. The boy probably volunteered for this duty just so he could boast to his friends that he had seen the strangers first.
