One, Two, Three
by Elodie Nowodazkij
When seventeen-year-old Natalya’s dreams of being a ballerina are killed in a car accident along with her father, she must choose: shut down—like her mother—or open up to love.
Last year, Natalya was attending the School of Performing Arts in New York City. Last year, she was well on her way to becoming a professional ballerina. Last year, her father was still alive.
But a car crash changed all that—and Natalya can’t stop blaming herself. Now, she goes to a regular high school in New Jersey; lives with her onetime prima ballerina, now alcoholic mother; and has no hope of a dance career.
At her new school, however, sexy soccer player Antonio sees a brighter future for Natalya, or at least a more pleasant present, and his patient charms eventually draw her out of her shell.
But when upsetting secrets come to light and Tonio’s own problems draw her in, Natalya shuts down again, this time turning to alcohol herself.
Can Natalya learn to trust Antonio before she loses him—and destroys herself?

CHOOSING MY OWN MAGIC
ONE, TWO, THREE isn’t the first book I wrote but it’s the first one I
felt like I wanted to share with the world (scary) and that was getting so many
lovely reviews by the ones who read it. I got very close to getting picked
up by a literary agent several times, I received great feedback from beta
readers, critique partners and through contests but…the magic door stayed
close. In the past months, I read a lot of books that I know would do so well
with readers but for x or y reason haven´t hit the shelves yet. That´s when I
realized that I could choose my own magic.
That doesn’t mean I didn’t have to work hard on my book, or that it
didn’t have to go through several editing rounds, copy editing,
proofreading…That doesn’t mean I am guaranteed for my book to do well.
It would be a lie to say I´m not scared because I totally am. People are
going to read my book(s). People are not going to read my book(s). People may
hate my characters. Others may love them.
But mainly I´m excited. And happy. And looking forward.
Yep, lots of emotions. Luckily I have a very patient and supportive
husband :-)
I cannot wait for you all to get to know Antonio and Natalya!

Elodie Nowodazkij was raised in a tiny village in France, where she could always be found a book in hand. At nineteen, she moved to the US, where she learned she'd never lose her French accent. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Modern Language & Linguistics, and later earned master's degrees in German Cultural Studies and European Studies. Unbeknownst to her professors, she sometimes drafted stories in class. Now she lives in Germany with her husband and their cat (who doesn't seem to realize he's not human), and uses her commuting time to write the stories swirling in her head. She's also a serial smiley user.
