Writer's Block

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.
