'This dazzling series shows that if the barriers can be vaulted there is true beauty to be had from the lesser-walked streets of literature. These works are both nourishing and inspiring, and a gift to any reader.' —Kerry Hudson A chance break in a West End theatre production forces a derailed actress to confront her demons and offers her an opportunity to escape her past and live life to the full. Cora, a once promising actress, is trapped by circumstances and immobilised by a disheartening career path, failed relationships and a battered sense of self. Set against a background of a country split by politics and disjointed through lives that are increasingly isolated and lonely, this is a short, sharp story of small victories and immense moral courage. Spotlight Books is a collaboration between Creative Future, New Writing South and Myriad Editions to discover, guide and support writers who are under-represented due to mental or physical health issues, disability, race, class, gender identity or social circumstance.
Cora's Turn
At age forty-five – her life a mess – Cora Gordon was persuaded to reinvent herself as an artist. Cora paid for her decision with agonies of self-doubt; but prodded by family and friends, she bent to her talents and found acceptance as a rising sculptor. Years later, now almost eighty – celebrated for her art and longevity – Cora is upset to learn that a troublemaker from her past has attacked the posthumous reputation of photographer Thorold Carey, a headstrong friend from her hardscrabble days. As she reflects on past struggles with the countering claims of art, love and loyalty – on the colleagues and relatives who regularly made life so hard – Cora feels more than ever grateful to Carey, for being there when she needed him – for his enduring inspiration. A vindication of her obstreperous friend, Cora's is a wry tale of two mid-lives in disarray and of the circumstances that brought them together; lives seeming to have little in common – unlikely to benefit from second chances.

CHAPTER TWO 9:05 P.M. Josey lifted her blue eyes from the stopwatch she held.Looking toward her best friend Dean ,who was sitting in the driver's seat,she gave him a smile and a nod."Are you ready?" A mischievous grin spread across his face.He turned to stare down the road,hands rubbing the steering wheel restlessly.The car trembled underneath and all around them.He revved the engine with a tap to the gas pedal."Ready." Her gaze refocused on the road and her thumb clicked the switch."Go!" Dean jammed the gear into drive and slammed his foot on the gas pedal.Both of them were lurched back against their seats the same time the car leaped onto the road.Dirt and pebbles flew over the windshield....
What Girls Are Made Of
It's 1992. In a small town in Fife, a girl is busting to get out into the world and see what's on offer. And an ad in the local paper declares: Band Seeks Singer. Grunge has just gone global, scruffy indie kids are inheriting the earth, and a schoolgirl from Glenrothes is catapulted to a rock star lifestyle as the singer in a hot new indie band. Touring with Radiohead, partying with Blur, she was living the dream. Until she wasn't. What Girls Are Made Of is the true story of Bissett's teenage years, based on her meticulously detailed, pull-no-punches diaries, which she found after the death of her father. It's a rollercoaster journey from the girl she was to the woman she wanted to be: rocketed into teenage stardom, suddenly dropped by their manager, and then the following of years of becoming an actor, writer and director. Described by Miro Magazine as "a glorious mixture of harrowing and life-affirming messages", the script also includes a play list of female-led soundtracks, that were played in the production.
Cora
Cora Jones befindet sich in einem Dilemma. Sie war verlobt, aber ihr Verlobter Asa Woods wurde im Bürgerkrieg getötet. Sie war nie wirklich in Asa verliebt, aber sie mochte ihn sehr und bedauerte seinen Verlust. Als sie aufhörte zu trauern, beschloss sie, alles hinter sich zu lassen und Versandbraut für Harry Belcher zu werden. Cora segelte nach San Francisco, um Harry zu treffen. Als sie in ihrem Hotel eincheckte, hört sie eine Stimme aus der Vergangenheit ihren Namen sagen. Nein, das kann nicht sein. Sie drehte sich um und fand Asa Woods hinter sich, und zwar genau in dem Augenblick, als Harry ebenfalls auf sie zukam. Was machte eine junge Frau, wenn ein Verlobter von den Toten zurückkehrt und ein anderer in der Eingangshalle des Hotels auf sie zukommt? Cora beschließt, beide Männer ihr den Hof machen zu lassen, um ihre Entscheidung zu treffen. Wen wird sie wählen - den Mann, der von den Toten zurückgekehrt ist und sie zur Frau will, oder den Mann, der sie als Versandbraut zu sich kommen ließ?
