Eric Long’s dad is a champion surfer. His mom is an artist, obsessed with Chinese dragons. On his 15th birthday, both of his parents’ interests collide and change everything he knows about the world.
While on a surfing vacation with his father up near Santa Cruz, California, Eric has visions of a woman from Imperial China with the ability to control a dragon and the emperor who wanted to exploit her talent to fight a war.

Cover Reveal Coming Soon!

Anything but Graceful, my first full-length women's fiction/romance novel.
If you love second chance romances, this is the book for you!
Grace Fuller is a fifty-year-old amateur ballet dancer in Hollywood, California. She’s okay with that. Most of the time. Unless a new, young student questions why she still takes ballet classes at her age. Then all her insecurities rise to the surface. Grace once had dreams of being a Broadway star, but she gave up on them long ago. She only started dancing as a way to lose weight.
Now, Grace is a realtor selling houses to actors instead of being one. One afternoon, one of those handsome actors shows up at an open house. It’s Tyler Andrews, the dynamic boy she’d loved when she was in theatre school. He asks her out, and she’s captivated by him all over again. When Tyler learns about her talent for dancing, he pushes her to get back into performing, even connecting her with his agent.
Everything seems fine on the outside, but Grace is haunted by her memories of how Tyler left her when they were young. She has trouble overcoming her fears of rejection. She’ll have to learn to trust Tyler, her friends, and her own heart to believe that she deserves second chances at her career and love.

When you look through the pages of my website, you'll see I have a wide range of fun things that I've written. I'm not terribly good at branding myself. I love writing for kids and have children's books and young adult books available. I'm moving away from those age groups, however, and discovering my joy in writing romance and women's fiction.
In addition to being a writer, I'm an actress and theatre director in Nashville, TN and an early childhood education teacher. I'm constantly reading books or listening to audiobooks of all genres or belting out showtunes while driving around in my car.

With live theater being on hold throughout 2020 and most of 2021, I came up with the idea for this project to create a way to do a musical without having to be on stage. Nashville songwriter and composer Caleb Dinger assisted with writing the songs and recording. The audiobook runs just shy of three hours. It's available anywhere that you like to get your audiobooks, including Audible, GooglePlay, Apple Books, Spotify, and Libby among others. Click here to learn more about this project, hear samples and meet the cast!
