[Nigerian-UK themed novel]

An upcoming writer must endure the pain in his heart while trying to survive the cruelty of the creative writing industry, as he thrives to succeed and (not) fall in love with the hot dancer crashing into his world. 

                                                              *******
Manuel, a naive teenager who has felt nothing else but the downside of all relationships, decides to pursue his dreams and become a published writer. 

He accepts a scholarship to London Writers Institute, and starts on his journey to achieving his dream, but a Dancer follows and rocks his world in more ways than one. 

He falls for the Dancer, but he finds it hard to follow his heart as that Dancer might just be the inspiration he need to write a bestseller or the reason why his circle of pain continues.
