Excerpt from Book #1 Rewrite Rough Draft

I am rewriting Book #1 to give it more a literary novel feel to it. The more in depth characterization should fill in many of the omitted but implicit facts of the original book #1.

This is a blog where I talk about my Children of Sophista book series. I released on October 1st the first book of a four novel length part serial storyline, “The Saeshell Book of Time” --- one story in the Children of Sophista series. These books are targeted toward scifi minded adults and gifted middle school children. On this blog you will see interesting things such as new art for the book, excerpts from the books, and points of view about giftedness and the experience of being gifted.

It means a wiring that produces high intensity --- intense over the top emotions, intensity forcing obsessions with projects I've latched onto, empathy that sometimes gets me into trouble, differences in how my senses perceive the world. I share all those experiences here, and the characters in my books exhibit those intensities.
