"A Life Worth Dreaming About" reviews

Captivating!”

--- Linda

Inspiring!”

--- Scott B.

A feel good book.

--- Hannah F.

“I like the easy, accessible style.”

--- Julia Forster, author of “Shadow Jumper”

“Extremely intriguing.”

--- Lisa Lickel, author of five novels, including “The Map Quilt”

“Good straight forward storytelling and the hook at the end of Chapter 1 works well, when we think the excitement is over. ... The writing is quite good.”

--- Tod Schneider, author of “The Lost Wink”

“It was an enjoyable read. Once I got into it, it kept my interest to see where it was going.”

--- Jill Badzinski, former editor West Bend (Wis.) Daily News

“I like the story. Carl reminds me of Patrick Bateman in ‘American Psycho.’ They are both loners and have a fondness for expensive clothes. I like the description in the first chapters of his interaction, or rather lack of it with his colleagues. I think it's good.”

--- Maria Gibbons, author of “Past, Present, Future?”

Novel No. 2

I worked on my second novel a bit more today and I have finally come up with a title.

My second novel will be entitled, "Dancing Dream." It is inspired by a true story.

It is about a woman who loves dancing, dreams of become a professional dancer. But she is forced to quit because of tough financial times. Years after quitting, she finds her longtime boyfriend cheating on her and gets in horrific car crash after catching him. She loses both of her legs below the knees in the crash. A man who was also involved in the crash saves her life by reviving her in the car. She struggles with life without full use of her legs until someone introduces her to therapuetic horseback riding lessons. She tries it out and likes it. Then she meets a guy who begins to have feelings for her. However, she is reluctant. Later, she decides to seek out the man who saved her life. After months of searching, she finally finds him and goes to see him. She immediately falls for him. Now it's a battle between her being in love with him and the therapist falling in love with her. How will the therapist convince her that he is in love with her? Who will she choose? Who will she end up with?

Later, the theraist and the woman talk about past goals. She mentions dancing; tells him that she's long forgotten about her dancing dream, especially now without her legs. It's not possible to do it. He finds the way to connect to her heart. It is a struggle to talk her into being a dancer again, especially without the full use of her legs.

"Dancing Dream" will take readers on this inspirational journey of love and determination. Will the woman give in and try to fulfill her dream of being a professional dancer? Who will try to convince her to do so?

The goal is to have this project completed by July.
