A
startling command from the dreaded Praetan brings chaos into the
tranquil lives of hermaphrodites Eulio and his lover Orosin. Using
the tour of the Merculian National Dance Company where Eulio is a
star as cover, they board the Wellington, a militaristic starship
that values nothing they believe in. Someone is passing secrets about
fleet movements and weaponry to the enemies in the Troia, but the
efforts of the two Merculians to unmask the spy only stir up a toxic
mix of hatred and violence. Who will have to die before the Praetan
is satisfied? The Danger Dance is a futuristic space adventure with
enough swashbuckling action and intrigue to keep even the most jaded
science fiction addict enthralled.

Caro
Soles wrote an opera when she was 10. It was short. In the '60's she
wrote two musicals and a few other stage pieces. She took part in
protest marches and gave up Paarl sherry and California grapes. With
several degrees under her belt, she taught French and Spanish in
universities, community colleges, a few private schools and
collegiates. Her only regret is that she didn't have much time for
free love.

In
the '70's, she went all domestic, got married, had two kids, acquired
two dogs and threw great dinner parties. In the '80's, she organized
fundraising events, did media relations work and sat on the Board of
Directors of the AIDS Committee of Toronto. She also marched in the
early Gay Pride Day Parades, and had her first novel accepted for
publication.

In
the 90s, she wrote a serialized soap opera under another name. She
gave up trying to write Harlequins and turned out a gay S&M
adventure instead, thus becoming a hot item in gay male erotica
circles. Five novels, four anthologies and a short story collection
later, along came the dreaded writers' block. So Caro organized The
Bloody Words Mystery Conference. Thus energized, she wrote her first
mystery- The Tangled Boy. Her next, Drag Queen in the Court of Death
was short listed for a Lambda Literary Award

And
then came the new millennium! Caro switched from teaching languages
to teaching creative writing. Now that her students could understand
her jokes, the classroom was much more jolly. She has taught writing
in Community colleges, Berkeley University and given workshops at
such varied places as the OutWrite Conference in Boston and the Tool
Box Leather Bar in Toronto. She now teaches several courses at George
Brown College, appropriately called Writing a Novel 1 and Writing a
Novel 2.
