The True Dragon of Atlanta
by Lazarus Black
illustration by Chris Casciano
When May Ling inherits a family curse, an ancient enemy, and a 75-ton Temple Bell, every one of her problems simply gets worse, as an ancient evil threatens the world with Truth and May's lies may be the only power that can save us.

May Ling’s mundane world is about to explode, and all because of one Bell.

When an ancient goddess appears in Atlanta to tear the world apart with the Truth, it awakens May to the magic world and the power inherent in lies. May’s life is chaos. She is 23 years old and lonely with delinquent child-siblings, two spiteful aunts, mountains of debt, even more bills in the future, and at the end of her best years as an escort and thief. The last thing she needs are new visions and powers. Revelations just make her life worse. More responsibilities mean more chaos and more work.

So, she amasses a found-family of misfits from the fringes of Atlanta to survive it together: Bison is a giant afraid of themself, Cookie’s afraid of the world, Benji is a monk in name only leading a band of like-minded brothers, and Kate and Ricardo work at opposite poles with May playing both sides from the middle.

In the ultimate battle between good and evil, truth and lies, youth and wisdom, human and not, one single moment of May’s life will define the future of reality. Will or won’t the Bell ring? And what might happen if it does?

Lazarus Black is an American author of genre fiction living under the shadow of a Pacific Northwest volcano with three Goddesses, his wife and two daughters.

“Psychic Poker” is Lazarus’s first sale, but hardly his last. It juxtaposes poker, the synthesis of probability and human behavior, with psychic powers, the solution to both probability and the chaos of free will. What if every player is psychic? What if no player has an advantage? What if their lives are at stake? But the strength of the story is in the reluctant main character: Tyson Young, a middle-aged Aussie with an acute wit.
Lazarus writes from life. His stories are inspired by the diverse communities he has lived in, plus friends and family across the globe. He specifically attacks stereotypes and reinvents tropes to reflect authentic experiences that are sometimes stranger than fiction. He once earned a free funeral until the mortician learned his name was Lazarus and a good laugh was had by all (bystanders included). A true lover of learning, Lazarus has traversed North America dozens of times, has been a professional artist, advertising creative, software developer, database designer, epigrapher, executive, educator, inventor, game designer, pool hustler, heathen clergyman, machinist’s apprentice, glass blower, scholar, actor, many other roles, and now published author of fiction.
He hopes you enjoy “Psychic Poker” and look forward to reading more from him in the future.
