But mostly sex and death, because often we have to choose between the two at some crucial moment in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn one story, a professor with a drinking problem wins half a billion dollars on the Powerball--but has to fight old habits to claim his winnings in time.

And in another, a fifteen-year-old truant is sent to a mysterious religious sect in the high desert of Northern California--only to discover an awful truth that will set her running again. Dillian navigates through geographies and time periods with ease, creating distinctive personalities with one common thread: they all are fighting for their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilled with memorable characters, unforgettable twists, and dramatic insights into human nature, this is a page-turning, thought-provoking collection for any lover of the art of story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Seven Cats Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50900765704466,"sku":"9798990944701","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_be3a82a1-0e4e-4315-b4ee-9720488ec2b1.jpg?v=1738395654","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/night-moves-and-other-stories-9798990944701","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
