The Adventure Begins!

If you haven't already read Who's Minding the Store?, now is your chance to read my book while events take place during the week prior to Memorial Day.

Derrick Payton gets promoted to full store manager of a store on the brink of collapse. His superiors at store support leave him with one week to come up with good sales numbers during the Memorial Day weekend or they will shut him down for good. Upon arrival to his store he is shocked to find sagging morale, poor customer service, and two back-stabbing assistant managers who will stop at nothing to see him fail. His wife is pushing him for a raise, his employees are trying to push him out the door, and over-demanding customers are about to push him over the edge. Through it all, Derrick can't help but to wonder...Who says the customer is always right?

My book is available in kindle and paperback format (sorry, no hard cover is available). See if you can finish the book in the same week the story takes place. Along the way you'll be shocked at the similarities you've experienced in retail. Doesn't matter if you've worked in the grocery business, clothing stores, electronic stores, fast food, or home improvement. Retail is retail. We've all been there and done that, and I promise you that you'll have more than a laugh or two along the way.

Keep on reading!

Wholesale chaos in the world of Retail...

Derrick Payton, assistant manager of a high-end home improvement store, has been waiting nine years for a promotion to full store manager.  Now, the job has fallen into his lap.  Unfortunately, the store he’s been handed is on a downhill skid, and he only has a week to turn it around.

Now he has to battle crazy customers, employees who think the time clock is optional, and the dreaded Wicked Witches of the West—a pair of back-stabbing female associates who are determined to see him go down in flames.

His wife is pushing him to ask for a raise; his staff is trying to push him out the door; and his customers are about to push him over the edge.  Caught in the middle, Derrick can’t help but wonder...

The Sandman

Code Name: SANDMAN

The CIA's top saboteur infiltrates the Bushehr Nuclear Research Facility in Iran, and starts a fire that threatens a core meltdown.  To bring the reactor under control, the Iranian technicians must restore coolant flow immediately, but the Sandman has barricaded himself inside the secondary control room, cutting off access to the necessary controls.

With time running out, a brilliant Iranian military officer takes charge of the battle against the deadly intruder.  The two men match wits as each tries to outmaneuver the other in the dark corridors of the underground complex.  With each passing second, the temperature in the reactor core climbs higher. 

The Sandman’s deadly strike comes as a shock to many of the people in positions of power.  Is he operating under orders, or has he gone rogue?  And what will happen if he manages to trigger a Chernobyl-scale nuclear catastrophe on Iranian soil?

The countdown is on...
