I had been a life long fan of TV shows such as Strictly Come Dancing , Dancing With The Stars and SYTYCD but after 10 years of teaching swing dance, Lindy Hop, West coast swing, ballroom dancing and CEROC, I suffered an accident that rid me of my job and my social life.

After a decade in the dance world, I combined my wealth of experience, mixed with my ability to tell a good joke, and come up with an INSTANT 5 star rated Amazon #1 International bestseller that has been described as being "Like Cuban Fury... but with punchlines".

Thanks for getting in touch.
I'm relatively new to goodreads and I'm trying to sort this out my end, but the system keeps sending me round in circles.
All I've been able to do so far is follow you as an author.
I'm not sure what else I can do, I will contact goodreads to sort this.
Faling that have you got a twitter name I can run through the system?

How do you deal with writer’s block?

One story is comedic and the other is gripping, intense and comparitively serious.

The trick is then not to consider that I have writer's block but that I simply may not be in the mood to write comedy, in which case I focus on the dramatic side (and vice versa)

This then means that the story line can continue to steadily develop, irrespective of what mood I am in, as I can focus on either storyline dependant on my current frame of mind. (less)
