We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe.

And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

The Recalling is a patchwork of untrustworthy memories. The story of my life is not linear. Instead, it comes to me in a series of horrific flashes and cherished moments and if I'm to tell my story honestly, I will have to share both.The stories feature creatures that may be recognizable but most you've never seen or heard of. The tales unravel in places that may seem familiar and locations that can be found on no map and suffer no names. Some memories will be disturbing, others may be wondrous, yet all will be dark as light is not a place I've spent much time in.Before we begin, I must ask ...
