Last Dance

By J.T. Lewis

Can a love last a lifetime...and beyond?

Jacquie Talento's 5-Star Review

If J.T. Lewis can write such cute short stories, I can only image what J.T.Lewis has in store for me with a long one. This was a really sweet story about a man that was getting his last dance with the love of his life that he had lost a long time ago.

Catch JT Lewis' latest full-length novel, Gabriel's Revenge!

Mystery abounds in the books of Amazon Best Selling Author J.T. Lewis.

Living in Southeast Indiana with his wife and daughter, J.T. has always loved a mystery. Striving to bring readers a story packed full of action, adventure, and suspense has led to his current selection of titles.

His first full length novel, Murder! Too Close To Home, has been voted #1 on Goodreads Best Debut Mystery Series list. The second in the series, Gabriel's Revenge, was released with much anticipation in July 2012. Both of these titles belong to the Adventures of Gabriel Celtic series.

Also look for JT Lewis' Pepper and Longstreet YA mystery series. Having been compared to the old Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries, Pepper and Longstreet at first seem an unlikely duo.

Having discovered Jacob Longstreet standing in her kitchen one day, the ghost of a Civil War solder soon becomes Pepper's friend, as well as her partner in solving mysteries. Together, they find themselves in the most unlikely of situations as mysteries unfold around them.

An electrician by trade, at night JT Lewis morphs into a fictional detective with a keyboard, a transition that suits his need for creating exciting stories very much.

"I never thought I could get this old."

That’s what had come to mind as everyone gathered around the cake a few moments ago, waiting for me to blow out the bonfire of candles before me.

I had gotten it done, but it seemed to have taken a lot out of me in the process. Finally I had to ask my daughter to help me to my chair.

An old woman now in her own right, we made our way slowly across the house to my favorite chair in the living room. My body creaked as she helped me down into the leather recliner…creaked!

You ok dad? she asked as she placed her hand on mine.

Patting her hand with my other, I smiled at one of the greatest joys that I had been honored to experience.

I’m fine kid, I said with a smile, how could I not be with you and your brood here with me?

And a brood it was! She had given me two grandbabies over fifty years ago now. They in turn had given me three great grandkids, and so far there were two of their kids running around here.

Mix in the wives, husbands and dates, and it was indeed a household.

And it made me happy!

I had spent too many years alone early in life, unaware of the bond that could be had with one’s offspring.

Betty, my first wife, wasn’t able to have children. Betty had taken it harder than I at the time, me being but a lowly male of the species and her being the one with the ticking clock. I did my best to convince her that it didn’t matter, that I didn’t think any less of her nor did I think that kids were even that important. Besides, I would argue, in our line of work, a child could be a liability…and we did have the dog!
