Peter took a moment
to catch his breath. “I left. I left the grounds. But something’s bad has
happened. Sh-she…Hanna died!” He coughed and his eyes watered. “Because of me!
My fault. It was my fault. You gotta help her! I always screw up. Always.
Please…”
Pastor Finn put his
hands on Peter’s shoulders and shook him. “Why’d you leave? I told you never to
leave here. You’ll put us all in danger. Yourself in danger. I didn’t save your
butt for you to screw this up, boy.” He yanked Peter by the shirt and down the
stairs. Then dragged him, practically running, all the way to the cellar stairs
where he pointed at the small door where Peter had escaped. “Sixteen years old
and you think you are man enough to make it out there?” he grumbled. “This is
where you got out?” He sighed. “You don’t understand.”
“It’s my fault! Did
you hear me? I killed someone! You gotta help her.” Peter jerked out of his
grasp and grabbed Pastor Finn’s shirt, facing off with him. For once in a long
while, he stared down the man eye to eye. He straightened up to his full
height. The older man’s gray crew cut and piercing blue eyes were filled with
fear. Peter’s hand loosened in shock that it was the first time he remembered
that Pastor Finn looked afraid.
“I can’t help the
dead.” He pushed Peter’s hands away from him. “But I have to help you. Come
with me.” Peter watched him, confused. His teeth clenched at Pastor Finn’s
betrayal. “I thought you were different. I have to go back. Bury her, like she
deserves.” Peter stumbled backwards.

Excerpt
Deviant Storm:
He screwed up. So
bad, he didn’t think he could fix it. Peter tossed the ball against the wall
once more as he drowned out Kyle’s words. He never admitted everything that had
happened to him in the Stronghold to Kyle. Didn’t think he could. One thing for
sure, time was up. Peter was through waiting to be told what to do by the Elders
of at this dump who seemed to have their own agendas. Dealing with the
nightmares of what he’d done - possibly killing a man by pulling something
beyond evil out of him, plagued Peter every night. Those times when he wasn’t
careful, it pressed his thoughts, even when awake.
“We’ll go get her.”
Peter’s dark brown eyes landed on Kyle’s questioning blue ones.
Find something you like? We
had a chance to sit down with LM Preston and ask a few questions. Here's the
low-down:
SC:
Tell me a little bit about your main character of this book.
LMP: Peter Saints is
flawed, young, and seem defenseless, but he has a determined spirit that allows
him to overcome the impossible, just like we all can.
SC:
That's a positive perspective. Hope springs eternal and all that. Postively
paranormal. Do you believe in the paranormal and if so, do you have an
experience you can share?
LMP: Absolutely! I
remember when I lived at my great-grandmother’s house for several years, I
hated sleeping in my bedroom. I would run and sleep in her room until I was
around 13 yrs old. Finally, she asked me why she had to kick me out of her bed
every night. I recalled explaining to her that every single night, even when I
closed my bedroom door, the door would open, and someone, a dark shadow of a
man would walk across my doorway. She laughed and explained that it was likely
my grandfather who had died from a heart attack at the foot of the stairs.
SC:
It sounds like the was protecting you, but it was probably very frightening at
the time. Food for thought, though.What titles are you working on now that you
can tell us about?
LMP: COLLIDING SOULs
is a spin off Novella that is being debuted in the 1st every Young Adult KINDLE
WORLD named RUNES UNIVERSE. It comes out on April 18th and if you’d like to see
