Dancing with the Devil is a collection of five short stories linked by the theme of desire, its manifestations and outcomes. Ranging in time from the late 1930s to the present day, the locations vary between England, France and the Russo-Polish border. In these diverse settings the stories explore the nature of personal relationships and how they are tested and exploited. And, as events unfold, the characters are not always what they seem. Propelled by the infinite complexity of human emotions, they are drawn inexorably into a web of desire, obsession, duplicity and revenge.

When Google was in the room, remarkable things happened. He motivated the unmotivated. He inspired those who didn't want to try to have a go. He gave confidence to the quiet, shy and lonely. He calmed the angry. For eight years Golden Retriever Google accompanied his best friend, Sandy Childs, when she worked in schools. Google's patient, gentle and loving nature proved an inspiration in helping children who were reluctant readers, writers and learners, many of whom had additional learning needs and emotional issues, to find joy in learning. Google's message was simple but powerful: I can read and so can you. Inspiring, educational and deeply moving, Google The Reading Dog demonstrates how the love of a dog can enhance a young person's motivation and confidence to learn. With contributions from educators and the students themselves, it illustrates the many ways in which Google contributed to lessons across the curriculum and provides guidance for other educators who might want to explore this unique teaching pathway.
