Deacon and Luke

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! ;)

So I thought I'd pull together all the extra Covenant Series bonus scenes in one place for you to read. These are basically the stories I can find. Doesn't mean they are the only ones. And if any bonus scene was in print or used in a campaign, I haven't uploaded them yet, but this is where you'd find them eventually.

Pre order bonus scenes material

These are extras from the Lux Series, all in one place. These do not include bonus material found inside the actual books, but things I basically wrote for whatever reason. Any new bonus material will be added here

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
