Story

So the story is that when I was an actor, I did everything I could to become a triple threat. Learning to act was important, but I also had to sing and dance (and I tried to add skills like horseback riding, drumming, driving 5-speed, fencing-a big fail, and more…)

I’d read mysteries since I was fifteen, so when I later became a writer, I eventually decided to write a mystery set in the world of dance. Thus was born my new mystery, Step, Turn, Murder.

(I must also say that a kind acquaintance who recently wrote an trilogy set in the world of dance gave me the germ of the idea; this story is wholly unique, however).

Here is the blurb for the book:

Does it make you want to read the story?

Just when private detective Michael James Romanoff thinks he’s free to sink into the murky depths of his undiagnosed depression, another New York citizen goes and commits a murder. Now he’ll have to buck up and face that mire when up ‘till now he’s been able to withdraw from the world following his brother’s tragic death.

When he hears the call on his old police radio, he just knows he’s got to go out and investigate as a distraction; he can’t resist the call of a good case, and with his former cop-sidekick working with a hostile new partner, the road to a solution will be more difficult.

Romanoff figures he’ll coast through the thing as a lark, but then a billionaire offers him a million bucks to solve the crime for real and now he’s one-hundred percent committed. Add to that his debt to a loan shark, and the investigator is fully locked-in to solve the case.

Then he gets to date a witness, and begins to wonder if life really is a participation sport after all. Can he face his illness and the loan shark’s goons while trying not to screw up the relationship? 

He has so much on his plate that he might even begin to reconsider his lapsed faith as the mystery unravels around him…
