Excerpt from "Knowing Katharine"

Here's an excerpt from the beginning of Knowing Katharine. FYI, the excerpt is about 6,100 words (and the story itself is a novel). The Amazon preorders page has it ranking in (among other categories)  90 minutes (44-64 pages) > LGBT, but the book is about 50,000 words and takes longer than that to read. I think the discrepancy occurred because the first file I uploaded was about 1/4 to 1/3 the length of the final story. The final word count file has been there for awhile, but it still ranks in that category.

Anyway! Excerpt time in PDF (and check out this link for more background info). And another disclaimer: It is always possible, of course, that what you see in this excerpt will not make it into the version published June 15.
