The Story behind Lovestruck Two Step
One of the more unusual assignments in my college literature
classes was to write a cocktail party scene involving the various characters
from the stories we had read during the semester.
I heard the murmur of collective dismay from
my classmates.
I could hardly wait to
start writing. All semester I endured
the harsh glare of reality as reflected by American literary icons, Theodore
Dreiser and Sinclair Lewis. Now it was time to have some fun. I don’t remember
the final grade on that paper only that my ruddy-faced professor with a
Hemingway complex noted positive comments in the margin instead of his usual
acerbic barbs
.
I intended to end the Rhythm & Romance series with
Wedding Tango. After all, how do you top a whirlwind adventure in Buenos
Aires? One of my girlfriends who’s
strictly Ballroom mentioned that her group’s dance socials featured a live
band. Hmmmm…a live band could be interesting. I started Lovestruck Two Step with notions of
a two-man band in a dive bar, but once the music started, many of the
characters from the earlier stories just showed up. What can I say?
Lovestruck Two Step is available as a pre-order from Amazon.
With her marriage and dance studio wiped out by divorce,
Becca Collins reluctantly agrees to teach Two Step lessons at a country bar.
Carson Quill isn’t thrilled about spending his Saturday nights playing guitar
in a local dive, but a certain dance instructor with long legs and dark curls
caught his eye. Does love have a shot in a bar called Last Chance?
