Synopsis

How does a man find his extraordinary? The story follows Gerald (Ged) Baker, his jaw-droppingly critical wife, Marge and their plain-speaking grandchildren. Finding himself with unexpected time on his hands after a nasty encounter with a heavy picnic cool bag, Ged is unable to play with the grandchildren and rediscovers a long-forgotten artistic talent, inspired by his grandchildren's bizarre requests and chance encounters with fascinating characters. The clandestine actions of his daughter-in-law create an opportunity for Ged.
Marge is super-judgmental and conceited. She probably has her reasons, but as Marge's behaviour worsens, there are clues that something isn't right.
A down-on-his-luck publishing agent in London, Mike's career is at a crisis point. He spends a week in Porthleven, where his story collides with Ged's as he spots a sketch on a cafe wall and hopes he has found an illustrator for one of his main clients. Fate has more in store for Ged and Mike as their lives continue to intertwine. Ged has a second life in Cornwall, but where will it take him? Mike has a life decision to make, too.
The Second Life of Ged Baker is the first in a series of adult fiction stories exploring the life stories of the residents of a beautiful, exclusive and expensive nursing and residential home on the south coast of Cornwall.

    Twenty-something Ruthie Cohen, a data entry minion for a second-tier movie app, spends her days thinking about the kickass meals she’s going to make for her besties, Trish and Lilly, while pining for Dean (sigh, Dean), her vacation fling from six months earlier. Could they have made it work in real life?
    		 
    On top of that, Bubbe Bobby Grace, Ruthie’s beloved and inspiring grandmother, passed away and left Ruthie an inheritance of $62,873.42, along with instructions on how to use it: “Follow your passion, Dollface.” During a prosecco-fueled night with her gal pals, Ruthie decides to turn her passion into a career and learn the art of French cooking, enrolling in culinary school, paying tuition, and buying her chef’s whites with a few quick clicks online. It’s not long before Ruthie marches into the kitchen and feels the heat from her cooking partner, Jeff, the super hunky (totally taken!) musician that weasels his way into her brain — right next to Dean.
    		 
    How can anyone be expected to focus on school, cooking, career planning, baking, friends, and deciding between two hot guys, especially when one of them also thinks that John Cusack is woefully underrated? And what if neither feels quite like Ruthie’s perfect pairing?

    After Math retails what becomes of the cast of characters introduced in Art, Mystery, joint and severally pursuing an erotic Rinascimento statuette attributed to Antonio Pollaiuolo, a pursuit that lands them in court. On the way, their collective and singular fates are unfolded and accounted for, the consequences of the trurh of matters for them are brought to bear and a kind of rough justice is seen to have been done, as is appropriate in rough trade.

    Gus Hempelstein had only wanted to change things a little bit. He was about to find out that when you were dealing with Vabeh Gregson Bennett, you had to go big or find another playground. 
    Morgan and Devon Gregson Bennett are an interracial creative power couple living happily enough in Brooklyn until a freak accident leaves a little girl orphaned in Los Angeles. Setting aside reservations about the price motherhood will exact on their marriage and careers, Morgan and Devon agree to adopt Vabeh, a bi-racial ethnic-hair-products heiress. Vabeh touches down in New York, wearing last season’s fur and on a mission to quickly distinguish herself from the other bold-faced names at her new school, the tony School for Spoiled Kids. 
    Vabeh’s meteoric ascension as a painter isn’t enough to quell her ambition, so she opens the Walk-In Art Gallery. Soon, she has collectors and classmates clamoring for her attention. All is proceeding according to plan, until her trusted gallerina, Gus Hempelstein, turns in his skinny jeans and defects to open a rival gallery, the Sit Down, backed by Devon’s ex-lover and powerful art world patron, Pim Logan. 
    Even with a publicist and therapist working overtime on Vabeh’s behalf to protect her art world darling status, Morgan and Devon’s parenting skills are put to the test as the press breathlessly covers their every move. 
    Will Vabeh crumple under the weight of Gus’s devastating betrayal, or will she dust it off, chalking it up to just another day on the playground?
