Having made one bad choice too many, Meghan finds herself penniless and aimlessly wandering down an alleyway behind a Daytona Beach strip club. A door flies open, spewing trouble out onto the pavement. Meghan thinks it serendipitous, that her luck has changed, when she is hired on the spot. Three weeks later, she waltzes into a Mercedes dealership and drives away in a brand-spanking-new E320 Sport-pays cash. For a time, Meghan lives the high life, but inevitably opioid addiction brings her down. When she is at her lowest, on the streets and having distanced anyone who ever cared about her, she is accepted into Restoration House Ministries, a faith-based rehab facility owned and operated by three women, all former addicts. From the moment Meghan crosses the RHM threshold, her life takes a dramatic 180-degree turn. Meghan soon learns that living in close confines with a passel of hormonal young women is a recipe for hijinks and hilarity, and nothing prepares her for the zany antics of the three fiercely-dedicated but quirky sisters. "Dancing with the Devil" is a fast-paced narrative that alternates between the irreverent, pathetic, existential, and hopeful. It is a wildly entertaining tale and an inspiration for anyone who ever felt stuck in a lifestyle, job, or relationship that seemed impossible to escape.

In search of a new land-some place where they may be free of man's violence and wars-a colony of dragons sets out on a great journey across a vast ocean. The dragons settle in what is known today as Northern Michigan, and they are delighted with their new home. Dune warrens provide the perfect shelter for their long winter naps, and there are plenty of delicious fruits and nuts to eat. In the spring, the frozen lake thaws, and great sheets of ice pile up on shore, creating iridescent towers for younglings Chryllis and Jilly to play upon. During the lazy days of summer, the two best friends compete in games with the woodland animals or dune-slide into the turquoise lake, while Dra teens soar overhead on upward drafts. In the fall, when the trees are ablaze, there are cherry-pit-spitting contests, and popcorn popping with dragon breath. But when a ragtag band of humans comes ashore to establish a settlement, the idyllic life of the Dune Dragons is threatened.
