This is a section of a novel that I've been working on for a while. Hope you enjoy it! Past My parents had always been a bit ‘over the top’ as compared to normal adults. While most kids would go on a field trip to the zoo, my field trip would be getting to work with the lion tamer. Oh, did I not mention that my parents were trapeze artists with a traveling circus? Yeah, I was raised in a circus; literally, not metaphorically. My dad was destined to be a trapeze artist from the time he was born. I never met my grandmother to confirm my father’s claim, but whenever I saw him perform, I knew it to be true. He was Alexander Damien Grey, one of the worlds most famous trapeze artists. So when he met Maria Garcia Romero, the Spanish acrobat, it just made sense. My mom hadn’t always been with the circus the way my dad had. As a matter of fact, when she was younger she wanted to be a chef. It’s funny how fate turned the little Spanish cook into the Spanish acrobat.
