Summary

Emma Singh is the new star in the British literary heaven. Her debut book broke sales records, and expectations for the follow-up are sky-high. With Emma's Indian background, her publisher takes for granted that her next novel will also be set in India. The problem is that Emma feels as British as Queen Elizabeth and barely knows the country where she has her roots. Inspiration fails to appear, the words won't flow, and Emma is forced to realise she's suffering from writer's block. With panic, she watches her deadline approaching and searches for a way out. Perhaps creativity will come alive if she changes her environment?

When Emma is offered the position as house mistress at a boarding school, she packs her bags and leaves London in a hurry. She imagines that she will have plenty of time to write alongside her work. But life as a house mistress is considerably more demanding than Emma had anticipated. When eleven-year-old Mira crosses her path, Emma realises there are others who have lost their way in life. Can the two help each other find the way forward? And is it right to abandon your dream when it's about to come true?

Writer's Block is the second standalone part in the Writing Sisters series.

    If reading most short story collections is like canoeing gently down a tranquil and picturesque river, then reading Spencer Gordon's Cosmo is like riding a jetski over Niagara Falls with Leonard Cohen whispering in your ear. You'll join Matthew McConaughey as he drives naked across the desert in a surreal dark night of the soul. You'll meet a young wrestling fan half-nelsoned by circumstances and a sister's best intentions. You'll hear a Miley Cyrus admirer defend his passion in a 3,000-word sentence. You'll watch an aging porn star don a grotesque dinosaur costume to film the sex scene of his life. Through ten incendiary and mercurial stories, Cosmo will take you on a wild ride over the churning waters of pop culture and the malaise of our solitary existence.

    Three wrongs can't make a right. 
I’ve spent six years building a life that isn’t defined by my father’s sins—a beautiful girlfriend, a thriving nonprofit, safe dreams that won’t get me into trouble. Someone with my family’s reputation can’t step out of line without drawing attention, and they definitely can’t coach professional swimmers. 
My carefully controlled world starts to unravel on my summer vacation, when a mysterious boy catches my eye. He’s intoxicating, beautiful, and an incredible swimmer. His body makes me question everything about my sexuality, and his talent makes me desperate to become his coach. Too bad the only lawyer who will help me navigate the PR nightmare of opening a coaching program happens to be a rude, self-absorbed, sexy-as-sin older man who doesn’t even like me. I shouldn’t want either of them, but my mixed up heart wants both. 
When one explosive moment in an empty locker room ties all three of us together, we start down a path we can’t turn back from, even as my past threatens to destroy my future. We weren’t supposed to be more than a single night’s mistake. I can’t do anything to threaten my life’s work. But I’m not sure I can live without them, either. 
Breaking free from the past has a cost for all three of us, but I don’t know if we can afford to pay it.
