The Book Of Shang has something for almost everyone. Horrific action and violence, compassion, emotions, love, sympathy, innocence, sensuality and thrills galore. It will make YOU cheer, it will tick YOU off, it will scare YOU, it will make YOU cry! It will touch YOU!

This story started manifesting itself in 1998. Having seen a picture of a "crystal dragon" sculpture in a magazine, from that moment, the story just presented itself to me. It was as if the picture was the conduit to get the story written.

Being a believer of dragons, after all, almost every civilization on Earth had a version of a dragon before each even knew the other cultures existed, I figured, "why not tell a story of two of their kind that were manipulated by mankind to do the terrible things that humans would like to do to each other. Oh, as Beverly, one of the most incredible people I have ever met, told me, "the dragons are still here, we just can't see them right now".

I must say, "Shang and Iyce are very good at doing the worse that mankind can imagine". They are the epitome of humanities dark side.

My credentials as an author are quite simple. "I have lived life to the fullest, I have remembered, I am educated and experienced, and, most of all, I have an OPYN MIND! What more do YOU need to be an author? A little imagination with a dose of reality goes a long way.

One more positive thing that supports my credentials as an author is, "I had the good sense to have my very talented niece, Candy Poblador, do the art work for our books".

The fishermen saw nothing unusual at first. They all piled out of the truck to prepare for the morning fishing. The kids prepared to take their morning dip and just be kids having some fun.

As they all started walking toward the placid water, the mist and low fog started to lift. As the group suddenly stopped, two of the boys headed to their favorite tree.

The fishermens eyes became wide with disbelief. From a few feet back, to the waters edge, the ground was littered with partial fish skeletons, empty turtle shells, skeletons of birds and skeletons of some of the small animals that drink and feed from the lake.

As the astonished fishermen stood perspiring with fear, they heard two splashes in the water nearby. The two young boys had either not seen the skeletal remains, or, paid them no attention. They just wanted their morning swim.

As the fishermen ran to where the boys had jumped into the water, they yelled for the boys to get out.

As the boys reached the edge of the water, they suddenly doubled over and let out unearthly screams. They both fell on the sandy ground writhing in agony. Just as the men started to reach for them, they froze. As the two boys lay stretched out, their flesh started to desintegrate exposing their bones.

Within minutes, there was nothing left except the skeletal remains of the two. Skin, hair and organs were all gone. The rest of the group stood wailing and screaming in agony. Some were doubled over and throwing up after witnessing the grotesque sight before them. They were overcome with horror and fear. How could this have happened? What caused this, they wondered.
