This is the second book in the six-book series, The Beginning of Civilization: Mythologies Told True, which imagines mankind's protohistory deconstructed from mythologies and traditions. Kiya and Her Children is based on the Greek myths of Titans and Olympians. Chief Vanam banishes his mate, Kiya, and their children from his tribe of hunter-gatherers to become outcasts who cannot be looked upon-'Titans.' They are expected to die lonely, miserable deaths. Kiya, however, has other plans. The Titans, with love and humanity, overcome all obstacles and create a prospering industrial society and spread their flourishing civilization throughout the world with joy and brotherhood. This is the story of the price they pay. For 200,000 years hunters hunted, gatherers gathered, they sometimes mated. Then something happened. They became civilized. This is that story in six books, deconstructed from Biblical, Greek, Egyptian myth and traditions. To understand why we are the way we are, we must understand how we began. This is my offering. Let those wiser tell it truer.

Autorenporträt
SHORT VERSION: Dennis Wammack: Alabama Born. Alabama bred. All the pride. All the guilt.Seven decades of figuring things out: An engineering contractor with white socks and pocket protector at Houston Space Flight Center in the 60's and 70's. A retail merchant supplying photographic supplies to commercial photographers, corporations, colleges, high schools, and hobbyists in Birmingham Alabama from the '80s through 2015. An author/editor/publisher from 2016 until now. He has a wife of 52 years, two independent self-actualized daughters, 150 world-class photographs, and 1100 masterpoints from ACBL.LONG VERSION: Dennis Wammack was born, raised, and lives in Birmingham, Alabama. He spent thirteen years in Houston working for various incarnations of McDonnell-Douglas; a prime contractor supporting NASA Houston Manned Spaceflight operations, specifically with in-flight-simulations and crew training. During that time, he married Dianne Perry of Montgomery, and they had two children, Jennifer and Catherine. In 1978, he moved his family back to Alabama to raise their children with their grandparents and cousins. They opened a photographic supply store, CAMERAS BROOKWOOD, in Homewood Alabama, where they served primarily advanced hobbyists, professional, and educational markets for over 38 years. The core business of film and darkroom supplies was impacted by the transition from analog to digital. Mr. Wammack states, "We closed the store because our lease was up, our bills were paid, I was old, and I wanted to."After retirement, he began writing short stories as gifts for family members. This segued into self-published paperback novels. His writing is influenced by his desire to resolve dichotomies, especially those suggested during his working-class Southern Baptist upbringing. Dennis and Dianne have a collection of over 150 superb photographs. They are both well past the Life Master rank in Duplicate Bridge. He has a BA from UA in Aerospace Engineering. She has a BS from AU in Computer Sciences. He writes. She plays bridge. They live in the suburban woods of Riverchase.
