Side Effects May Include Dancing

A short novel about saving the world.

It started with a letter. An eccentric aunt. A coffee shop in New Orleans. And

then the world changed.

Bertie Ryan never asked for this gift. But when she inherits a strange legacy from

her Aunt Maddie - equal parts voodoo, miracle, and higher consciousness -

she discovers she can make people happier, kinder, and more awake, instantly.

With the help of her spirited book club, the Bookies, Bertie’s ＂gift＂ goes viral.

But as the joyful ripple effect spreads through the city, not everyone is pleased.

A powerful pharmaceutical company and maker of antidepressants, and two

backroom politicians see Bertie’s power as a threat to their empire, and they

are determined to shut her down. They come for Bertie - and she’ll have to rise

higher than ever before.

Side Effects May Include Dancing is a heart-opening tale of Southern humor, a

recipe book for expanding joy, and a tell-all of what’s possible when we remember

who we really are.
