In Surf, artist Peter Wise pairs 60 of his collectable and evocative, powerful small paintings of the surf with anecdotes from surf-lovers and aficionados around the world.Whether professional surfing legends, like Buzzy Kerbox, to surfing journalists or even businessmen who are surfers at heart - the artist puts side-by-side the inspiring beauty of the waves with stories from the people who know them best.

What if Hollywood finally called — only to hand you the role of lifetime victim? Rodney Mullins is a failed screenwriter with a stack of rejections and few shreds of hope. Then Oscar-winning director Marc Kessler offers him the job of a lifetime: shadow the great man, chronicle his films, and maybe — just maybe — Rodney will see his own script reach the screen. Once on his roller-coaster ride, Rodney’s confidence grows, but attempts to have an influence on what’s happening around him often result in unintended, awkward and sometimes hilarious consequences. But working with Kessler is no dream. He is capricious: sometimes brutal and humiliating, sometimes a mate, encouraging — and all is complicated by Gloria, Kessler’s dazzling wife, who Rodney is totally smitten by. Does he really believe he can be a better partner to her than Marc Kessler? Rodney is caught between ambition, obsession, and betrayal in a world where everyone steals something — ideas, hearts, or lives. When the credits finally roll, will Rodney discover he’s written his own comeback… or his own ruin?
