Like your job. Only funny.
We have two choices when we encounter life’s absurdities. We can get PO’d. Or we can laugh.
Can Job is me, laughing.
I looked at all the absurdities I’ve encountered in my 20 or so years of a front row seat to modern corporate life and realized I could write a book about it.
The germ of the plot formed itself something like this:
What would happen if a company’s out-of-control marketing apparatus launched a product that didn’t exist?
Everything else took off from there. Characters started to pop in to the story. The in-over-her-head PR newbie who finds herself in charge of the launch. The manager who is only there because he doesn’t belong anywhere else, who has been rendered by his job into an adult waif. The low level exec who channels his ambition into corporate politics instead of doing any, you know, actual work.
There’s a love story–no, two love stories–woven into it as well, because I’m a girl and because the Can Job world is one where good is ultimately rewarded and bad is punished. It’s fiction after all. My fiction :-)
Here’s the official tease:
They’re launching a product that will save the company.
At the biggest trade show in the universe.
Their careers are at stake.
Heck, the future of the entire CITY is at stake.
Then they discover that the product doesn’t actually exist . . .
Can Job is available on Amazon for Kindle or as a print book.
