Tales of a Scorched Coffee Pot

"Tales" the podcast - chapter L1

Well, the book is finally out, and like a proud papa, I couldn’t be happier! This is the first time I ever tried an actual semi-legit, planned out release strategy, i.e. scheduling it 3 months in advance and promoting the thing for a change. I’m not sure this worked any better, but it certainly feels less half baked, as opposed to the usual tactics of dropping these things into the void, with no fanfare whatsoever, and then immediately moving on to the next project. So that’s something.

And here’s the audio version of this chapter (with slides!) narrated by yours truly, if this is more your bag:

As for the complete novel, here are some ordering options:

My website offers the better bargain for the exact same books, but your order from either is greatly appreciated. For those who are unaware, here’s the basic blurb:

Life in a locally owned, health-conscious grocery store chain…it might be organic, but it sure isn’t natural!

Any lowly peon who has ever worked retail or for that matter an office job will find much to laugh about and relate to in this highly comical epic, of a company whose chaos hits all too close to home. From blowhard bosses who insist “somebody” needs to do something whenever any problems arise, to the crybaby technophobes running riot all over the enterprise, to the widely held misperception that Good With Computers is an actual department, it’s all right here, in this fresh, modern workplace tale so realistic you might swear that you have lived it. But of course, nothing this preposterous could happen for real, right?
