Sinopse

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.

    Hold the Line - One woman's...

    Navigating motherhood from the age of 18, Kim Stephens shelved her inner journo and embraced a life of media sales and sports marketing, working with some of the biggest sports brands globally, and locally, whilst pursuing her own ultra-running ambitions.
    Arguing vehemently against the possibility that she was running from her own truth, Covid-19 wiped out Kim's possibilities for continued escape.
    After three children, two divorces and a gradual sexual awakening, Kim found herself at 40-something virtually unemployed, with all the time in the world to write, sip gin and study a general response to one of the world's most draconian lockdowns.
    Her humorous observations of middle-class South African behaviour through the various levels of lockdown earned her a certain notoriety and a degree of viral success, and with that the courage to put it all into a book.
    Hold the Line tells the story of teenage pregnancy, the situational blindness of white South Africa, the disappointment of divorce and the deep joy found through true awakening.
    Stitched together with the lockdown writing that Kim penned for a growing base of followers, she shares a more in-depth life story with her usual candid self-deprecation.
    Written to rattle a few truths from within its readers, Hold the Line ends ironically as the world begins to follow a potential third World War via TikTok.

    Single moms don't get second chances, right? 
     
     
     
    In Hallmark movies, yes. In reality, doubtful. Especially when you have a five-year-old interrupting your "alone time" with the man of your dreams. 
     
     
     
    Put your hand up if you've ever moved to a new place and found a wild animal loose in your attic, and your former high school sweetheart shows up, looking just as incredibly handsome as the day he kissed you? *Puts hand up.* Just me? 
     
     
     
    Then I probably don't need to tell you that all I can think about is how I'd like to kiss him right now . . . and that is a big NOPE. 
     
     
     
    Because I'm a single mom, and my whole life is in a state of major renovation right now. Especially since I bought a major fixer upper in the beach town where I grew up and moved in with my daughter. 
     
     
     
    There's no way Jack and I will get a second chance at love. He's a confirmed bachelor who will never settle down. And I've got more baggage than a jumbo jet can hold. 
     
     
     
    Now if someone could convince my heart of how impossible this is, I'd be able to focus on my fixer upper. And forget that I'm the one who has a heart that needs fixing up . . . by the only man who’s ever had a hold on it.

    Malcolm George Galbraith is a large, somewhat clumsy, Scotsman. He's being forced to leave the woman he loves behind and needs to explain why. So he leaves her a handwritten note on the kitchen table (well, more a 300-page letter than a note). In it, Malcolm decides to start from the beginning and tell the whole story of his long life, something he's never dared do before.
    
    Because Malcolm isn't what he seems: he's had other names and lived in other places. A lot of other places. As it gathers pace, Malcolm's story combines tragedy, comedy, mystery, a touch of leprosy, several murders, a massacre, a ritual sacrifice, an insane tyrant, two great romances, a landslide, a fire, and a talking fish.
