<\/a><\/p>\nThe Dancer<\/strong><\/em> Writing the story about a male dancer was in some ways very easy for me, in others difficult, but not for the obvious reasons. I\u2019m not male nor am I a dancer. But I raised a dancer and was involved in the world of ballet for fifteen years, so it\u2019s a world I am comfortable talking and writing about. The reason it was somewhat difficult was because of the male and female leads that preceded The Dancer. The Ballerina & The Fighter.<\/p>\n Maze, the hero of The Ballerina & The Fighter, was a force to be reckoned with. So the last thing I wanted to do was try to have Dante, the hero in The Dancer, compete with Maze\u2019s personality. I knew Maze wouldn\u2019t stand for it. Maze is in a class all his own. Lol While I wrote Maze\u2019s story I listened to a lot of Eminem, and Coolio\u2019s Gangsta Paradise, and Church In The Wild to try to set the tone of that story and get into Maze\u2019s head. Also Ivy was a sweetheart inside and out. She was the light to Maze\u2019s dark. So I had to stay away from that.<\/p>\n Instead, I gave Dante his own distinct personality, his own personal demons. Along with a female who would soothe those fears and who he\u2019d open up too. Yet, the heroine in The Dancer, Kali couldn\u2019t be too sweet. She too had to be almost the opposite of Ivy. While writing the Dancer I actually listened to a lot of Hozier. Love him, saw him in concert. But I also listened to lots of Tchaikovsky. Because these characters had to stand apart from the ones who came before them. I think I did that. Let me know if you agree. Also you\u2019ll find these characters very much epitomize society as we recognize it today. Let me introduce you to Dante & Kali. Their story, while the third in the Ballerina Series, can also be read as a stand alone.<\/p>\n Blurb-<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cLet me in.\u201d<\/p>\n Dante <\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s not easy being a male dancer in a world where women dominate. Ballet. Yeah, I\u2019m a ballet dancer, but I prefer male professional dancer. Still, I am at the top of my profession. Choreographers clamor to create dance pieces for me, and women just clamor for me period. See, being straight in a female dominated profession has its perks. But even though I don\u2019t hurt for companionship, I still get up in the middle of the night reaching for something, someone, who is not the person lying next to me. Because I always wake up feeling empty inside\u2026until. She played for me.<\/p>\n Kali<\/strong> Violence.

\nIt\u2019s not easy being a female in a male dominated profession. Most people can\u2019t name five female guitarist, bass or lead, but I bet they can name five male guitar players. Still, I am at the top of my profession. I\u2019ve proven to the world that music ability isn\u2019t driven by gender. It hadn\u2019t always been that way, but now I am in constant demand. My time is no longer my own. As for a relationship with a significant other? I stay away from other musicians I perform with or might perform with, like the plague. Not good to mix business with pleasure. Still, I\u2019m only human and I wake up in the middle of the night reaching for something that\u2019s just not there. Then one day he danced for me, and suddenly, I was no longer empty inside.<\/p>\n
