Sequence 1 – Chapter 1 – El Naya

The Process

I’m working on a new novel– 6,000 Kilos. And Chapter 1 is titled El Naya. I’ve broken the chapter down into 7 sequences – and will be presenting each one – in sequence – over the next seven days.

Please feel free to comment.

Segment 1 is called “The Process.”

Five young men, Colombian born, between the ages of 12 and 22, are stripping leaves from coca plants on a farm high up in the Andes, just below the clouds, on the eastern downslope of the mountain range. Their fingers and palms are covered with scraps of cloth to protect their skin from abrasion, and they’re all wearing wide-brimmed hats to shelter their faces from the sun.

That’s the first paragraph – click the link below to download the entire sequence – read at your leisure.
