{"product_id":"9781935585756","title":"Writer's Block","description":"WRITER’S BLOCK - A sensational new novel from the award-winning author and filmmaker Julian Padowicz     From his miserable childhood to his mediocre career as a college professor, fate had not been kind, or even terribly fair, to “Kip” Kippur.  But Kip’s luck changes when he inherits a house in a small coastal village in Massachusetts.  He chucks his previous life and moves there to write the Great American Novel—a thinly disguised autobiography.     As Kip struggles to transmute a leaden life into golden fiction, he finds himself alone and rudderless in a strange community.  He stumbles into a mysterious murder, an awkward romance, a married lady's hot-tub, an unusual proposal of marriage—and an invitation to sail to Florida, during storm season, in a sailboat of questionable seaworthiness, with an autocratic captain and a homicidal crew mate.     But Writer’s Block is more than just the tale of a late-life crisis gone terribly awry.  It’s also an intriguing portrait of a small town and the complex people who inhabit it.  It will keep you riveted all the way to its crashing conclusion.","brand":"Fireship Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137604337904,"sku":"9781935585756","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935585756_p0.jpg?v=1763657044","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935585756","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
