Volume Five in the DeChance Chronicles begins when Donovan, his lover Amethyst, and Geoffrey Bullfinch of the O.C.L.T. realize they must free Eleanor MacReady from a trap in the Great Dismal Swamp and rescue a princess imprisoned for centuries. Their adventure crosses worlds and dimensions, wandering through tales and fables, and ends in Germany.

"My Soul to Keep" leads to the town of Rookwood in 1842 and gives fans of Donovan DeChance a glimpse into the man and his magic. "The Preacher's Marsh" is a historical dark fantasy set in fictional Old Mill, North Carolina, and "The Not Quite Right Reverend Cletus J. Diggs & The Currently Accepted Habits of Nature," set in modern-day Old Mill.

Donovan DeChance-mage, book collector, private investigator-and his lover/partner Amethyst are drawn from the juke joints of Beale Street, Memphis to the depths of The Great Dismal Swamp and into the world of the undead, the magic of The Blues, and the heart of alchemy to help a group of hot-headed young vampires defeat an ancient evil.

Nothing is ever normal in Old Mill, NC, particularly when Cletus J. Diggs and his buddy Jasper decide to go fishing. When Jasper tells him two fishermen they know saw a dinosaur in The Great Dismal Swamp, Cletus is ready to chalk it up to shadows and too much beer. Then he and Jasper are out fishing themselves and find a bass boat jammed nose-first into the bottom of the Perquimans River with nothing left of the other two men but a boot with a leg protruding from it and one big-assed track in the mud, and things get serious. Joined by Geoffrey Bullfinch, Wendell "Mack" Macklemore, and Isabella Ferrara from O.C.L.T., two genetic scientists with a strange story of hurricanes and DNA splicing, and a strange cast of others (including a very loud cockatiel), Cletus has to solve the mystery of where the monster killing people in the swamp came from, where it's gone, and how to stop it before it kills again. Unfortunately for the team, taking down a forty-foot, sixteen-ton dinosaur no one believes in is no easy task, and the clock is ticking . . . This is the fifth story in the O.C.L.T. series.

When the sensors of the "U.S.S. Voyager" detect abundant plant life on an unexplored planet, Captain Janeway leads an Away Team in search of fresh food supplies. They find lavish gardens inhabited by an enigmatic alien race that holds the gardens sacred. The fragrent blossoms are beautiful, enticing -- and far more dangerous than they appear. One by one, the Away Team begins to fall into deep comas from which they cannot be revived. Unwilling to spread the affliction to "Voyager," the Away Team is trapped on the planet until a cure can be found, but their investigation is perceived as desecration by the devout worshippers of the gardens. Pursued by a fanactical mob, slowly succumbing to the insidious effect of the blossoms, Janeway faces either a violent death -- or an endless sleep.
