This is the scene where Wings originally started. It may constitute a very minor spoiler if you haven't read the book, but as this was the original beginning you're probably okay. Honestly, I had a hard time letting go of this beginning. I enjoyed jumping right into something strange and mysterious! I mulled it over for a long time. (Like WEEKS, seriously!) But in the end, I decided that my editor was right to cut it. The pulse thing did not come back into play until about a third of the way through the book, so it was like this pink elephant in the room. It also made the first fifty pages feel like a bit of a letdown because there was a Big Surprise!! and then things settled down and were normal for a long time. With the beginning I have now, there is a very realistic introduction to Laurel, and the weirdness builds gradually. But thanks to the magic of the internet, you get to see some of the changes that take place after the book is written. Enjoy!

What follows is a scene deleted from Spells As with the original opening of Wings, this is a scene I had a hard time letting go of. In the end, I think the book flowed better without it. But, thanks to the magic of the internet, you can decide for yourself. This scene takes place between chapters 21 and 22. Enjoy--and, um, spoiler alert! ;)

The following scene takes place in Illusions shortly after Klea introduces Yuki at Laurel's house. As always with these deleted scenes: potential spoilers follow! When I'm writing, sometimes I write scenes that are just a little too... meta. I really liked the idea of Chelsea and Laurel using a creative writing class as a cover so they could discuss Laurel's secrets out in the open. Originally I used this scene to set up the later scene in Illusions where Chelsea does talk about Avalon in front of Ryan. But when writers write about writing, it can come across as navel-gazing--or worse. Even knowing this, it was hard to cut this scene. Laurel, Chelsea, Ryan, and David actually hang out a lot, but most of those gatherings take place "off screen" and I wanted to address that. In the end, though, it was too Mary Sue. I think the book is better for the cut, and honestly it wasn't even much of a cut. But that doesn't mean I'm above sharing it here. :P

Here is the deleted scene for Destined. It is actually a scene you've kind of seen before... except this time it is all from Shar's point-of-view, and some of the details were changed in the editing process as well (for example, Laurel never sees what Yuki does with the roses). Warning: mega spoilers for anyone who hasn't finished all four books!
