Disobedient Tribesman

About this ebook
The first book of at least a three book saga, set in a Mayan village 1000 years ago. Two teens, Tark, a young man of fifteen, and Nara, the thirteen year old daughter of the village elder, surrender to their forbidden desires, and must suffer the consequences of their choice. A timeless story of first love, and the lure of awakening sexual desire, it examines the lives of our primitive ancestors in a deep and compelling way. Sad, soe times funny, with joy alternating with utter terror, the teens try to make society bend to their will, rather than submitting to society’s traditional dictates, with disastrous results.
Tark’s efforts to claim the favor of the Gods works handily on the simple villagers, (other than Nara’s father!), but has the unforeseen effect of attracting the scrutiny of the Priests, with complex and unwelcome results. This books delves deeply into the tendency of societies to limit the individual, to maintain order and stability. Young people tend to resist this, and our distant ancestors were not much better than ourselfs at obeying!
A tragic love story, in the form of Romeo and Juliette, with more sex and less death! You’ll see that teenagers haven’t changed all that much in a thousand years!
Disobedient Tribesman will be followed by Nara’s Journey and end in The Shaman’s Prophecy.

Jack Bessie is a child of the corn belt, who grew up shy and rather isolated, chasing critters and working on the neighbor’s farm. An avid reader from an early age, he was obsessed with learning, especially science. He hated English, which is a superb irony, considering how many millions of words of prose he has written in his later life; it would appear that God does indeed have a fine sense of humor or at least a fondness for satire and irony!Jack’s college experience was fanatical and obsessive, involving ridiculously intense bouts of reading and self motivated study, interspersed with much drinking and the chasing of women. He devoted a large portion of his study to psychology and communications, dropping out without a degree, but with an astoundingly wide and deep education. He also accumulated a pregnant wife along the way. The chasing of women was productive at least!Jack’s work history is as interesting as his college journey. He’s been a hospital orderly, janitor, research assis-tant, draftsman, cook, plumber, electrician, home builder, and master cabinet maker, the trade his father plied. One of the high points of his work life involved being fired from two different but equally lousy jobs in the same day!Jack and his second wife raised five biological chil-dren, and then were crazy enough to adopt six more. He’s never been noted for moderation. They are now content to herd their cats, Beatnik, Funky Kitty, and Lucifer.Honestly, Jack hasn’t gotten any less excessive, as you might notice from reading his writing. His life has given him an endless panoply of things to make fun of and to think deeply about, which he endeavors to share with his readers and fans. The author of ten novels, and a million words of humor and insight, Jack is always writing, and has no plans to ever retire.Jack also designs games, and teaches novel writing, and is once again serving as a judge for the Global eBook awards! There’s no dust on him from sitting around!
