Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Ethan Fox is a world-champion dancer forced to move to tiny Dumass, TX where the only dance team thinks their dusty moves and lame studio are the st. The only good thing is Tango, the best dancer in town. And she's hot! What Ethan doesn't know is that he's not the only one secretly after her.

Twist searches online for a way to make her fall for him. He doesn't dance, so he'll try anything: even a magic spell from the naked chick who promises to help him win Tango forever. Witchcraft isn't just a song by Frank Sinatra.

Great characters, non-stop snappy dialogue, ever-escalating drama and loads of heart. Dancing! Boxing! Small-town desperation, big city dreams. A demented stalker who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. But it's also about having to face a huge setback in order to figure out what's really important in life: in other words, Tango with a Twist is a story for everyone. — Alma Katsu, Author of The Taker trilogy

The characters are great... Reminds me of Hope Floats meets Glee (and I say this as a compliment.) — Kevin Maurer, New York Times best-selling author of No Easy Day: The Autobiography of a Navy Seal.

John captures the art of dancing in such a wonderful way in this book. Every page leads to a new turn that keeps you on your toes. What a fantastic read! — Emily Drinkall, 2012 UCWDC Masters and three-time Superstar Line Dance World Champion.

John accurately describes the struggles of partnership dancers. It's an interesting read for dancers and non-dancers alike. Well done. — Debbie Figueroa, National West Coast Swing, 2-Step, Showcase and Hustle Champion

John takes us on a joyful romp... and really captures the flavour of the life of a dancer. Join Ethan and his new friends as he discovers a life he'd dreamed of but never knew existed, you'll have a bunch of fun along the way. — Sherry Reynolds, UCWDC World Champion, Master Dancer and Judge.

Tango with a Twist is a fast-paced, thrilling mystery with an emphasis on dancing. I love Mr. Mack's cheeky characters and his introduction to fascinating worlds most people wouldn't get to experience otherwise. — C. L. Bevill, Author of the Bubba mysteries

About the Author

John studied writing in college, published the short story, "Jonny Hates Jazz," wrote a column, "Dancing The Rainbow," for two years in the regional Texas dance periodical, "The Dancer's Guide," and has written and produced five plays (one on commission). His play "Talking With Jacob" won statewide recognition in Wisconsin. He produced an adaptation of the Ray Bradbury story, "The Better Part of Wisdom" with the author's input and blessing. He also self-published (before it was cool and edgy) a book called KEEP BREATHING: Zen and the Art of Social Dance. For the past twenty years, John has worked as a dance teacher. He has choreographed musicals like West Side Story and helped create and coach the original Radio Disney dance team in San Antonio, TX. Now, John has moved to Virginia in semi-retirement to focus on his writing. He has written a total of twelve completed novel manuscripts, six plays, and ten screenplays. As a dance teacher, he has been featured twice in the international education periodical Quality in Action.
