Human Resources: Coming to Your E-Reader!

Over the next 11 weeks I will be releasing my novel, Human Resources , on Wattpad. I wrote Human Resources in between graduating with my BA, enrolling in graduate school and getting my first post-college job. It's meant to be a funny, absurdly cynical look at the future world of business and evolving technology and draws from my influences of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and George Orwell. Set your reminders and check back for fresh content on or around the schedule below!

Anyway, please check out the book at the link above and let me know your thoughts either here or in the comments on Wattpad!

I also wrote because my Dad was a great storyteller and would tell me how much he loved writing. That nugget would later guide the purpose behind my writing for many years. As a teen I wrote because I needed an outlet. My Dad was constantly sick, having suffered a series of heart attacks and eventually going on peritoneal dialysis to deal with his declining body. I lost him when he was 64 and I was 18. Poetry and short fiction became a means of expressing my sadness, anger, despair and increasing cynicism. As a young adult I wrote to express the aforementioned feelings combined with an increasing sense of loneliness and lack of direction. After I graduated college with my BA in Business, I sat down to write my debut novel, Human Resourc...
