Publisher's Synopsis
When an up and coming Austin band wants the dance crew to perform for their music video, it's a dream come true... until they realize it's a swing band, and almost no one on the crew knows anything about swing. Ethan comes to the rescue to make sure all his friends get their fifteen minutes of fame, in spite of the fact that he's having horrible nightmares that just may be the product of Twist's deranged imagination. The band wants to make the videos an homage to slasher films, so they rent a campground that's the perfect setting for every slasher film every made. Can you say, "Kill, kill, kill. Die, die, die?" And whatever happened to Twist? Is he out there causing trouble? How do you finish filming a music video if you're dead? Praise for "Tango with a Twist," Step One in the "Tango Triptych.""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 "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 "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 flavor 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
