I was a guest on the Dancing Housewife podcast! Antoinette Datoc was a hoot! There’s a lady who has her head on straight and is an incredible dancer and podcaster to boot! Check it out!

I’m featured in the September issue of The Relatable Voice magazine. Specifically, pages 14-15. There’s a giant picture of my face (eek!). With apologies, the ballet anecdote makes its 20th appearance. I promise to learn to tell my story without endlessly recycling that one, though the experience did drive to dance later in life.

I was a guest on the Sasha Talks Writer Series podcast. Very fun! I got to talk about my journalism background and how it fits with Steps.

The Steps Between Us won a prestigious

Evergreen Award!

I was on Trudy Beerman’s show!

I had a wonderful time as a guest on Trudy Beerman's PSI TV network. Trudy really grasped what The Steps Between Us is about and how my dance journey is similar to (and different from) that of my character, Ava Thompson. The show broadcasts in a variety of places, including Roku and Apple TV, but I was particularly struck by the viewer comments posted with the interview on YouTube. It really touched me to see many people can relate to the story and my experiences.

Lauren Gibbons Paul is a Boston-based freelance writer. For 30 years, she has covered how organizations use technology to advance business goals. She got interested in ballroom dance roughly seven years ago when she started taking lessons with a Hungarian pro. Lauren was interested in the lives of the pros at her dance studio -- all of whom were born in other countries. Invited to come here, they are pursuing their own version of the American dream. But odds are stacked against them, even when there is no criminal network running the studio, as in The Steps Between Us. https://www.laurengibbonspaul.com
