Sometimes it's fun to read a deleted scene. This one was the opening scene to SPELL OF THE SHADOW DRAGON until I took it out:
“YOU
BETTER GO,” Gus whispers. “That’s the third time she’s come down to the lake
and yelled your name, Presley. She must know this is where you come.”
I grumble an “all right” as low—and sweetly—as I can, my eye following her as she hurries off. I don’t want to leave Gus yet. We’re perched high in a cloby tree, straddling the thickest branch, enjoying the fresh smells away from the village. Our secret alone spot. It’s a great place to hide from my mother because she would never look up. She’s superstitious about raising her eyes. Bad things are up, she says. I guess that’s why she throws rubbish on our roof.

Look inside the 99 cent Prequel of my new sci-fi fantasy series and get hooked on a story that’s a
cross between Game of Thrones and Left Behind. Find the PREQUEL here.
In the prequel you'll find out how the story began and why they left Earth.
Book 1 is SPELL OF THE SHADOW DRAGON, available for order by clicking here. (Paperback out now, digital book downloads on and after June 8.)
It's four hundred years later and the colonization of the new planet has not gone well. New generations have been born, lived, and died while many of the first inhabitants still exist, living lengthy lives to rival Old Testament characters. But there's no religion here. No faith. No hope. No knowledge of God. People worship dragons and live in a primitive state of poverty, war, and petty empires. Yet despite this great loss, God will reveal Himself.

The story begins with 17-year-old Presley Bergo on her way to the marriage market with eight others. All will be forced to find a mate from a rival empire or else be sent to the Frozen Abyss.
One of her companions is Gus, an Ascendor with special powers he’s been teaching Presley … all while falling in love. Now they’re looking for a chance to run away together before they reach the market. But in the space of a few moments, their lives are turned upside down when a shadow dragon swoops in.

that God still rules the Universe.

Chapter 1
HE REALIZED A long
time ago his whole life would forever be divided into two parts: before he’d
killed his brother and after. He had to accept, too, that he was also morally
obligated to bring Max back to life−as much as he could−for his parents, and
possibly for Ling Su, too. He could only do that in China.
It had been easy
living one life, and not that much harder living two. Though it was nearly
impossible after he lost his faith.
