    About this ebook

    Bill is fresh out of collage on the first day of his new job. He wants to make a good impression on his new bosses and express his true genius. Unfortunately, his first day does not go as planned, starting with a grumpy security guard, an enigmatic boss, and a position that seems to be below entry level. As boredom sets in, Bill faces a decision that could either rocket him to the top or cut a promising career short.

    David S Reynolds

    I am somewhat of a rarity - A Tucsonan that was actually born in Tucson, Az. Other than one semester of college at Northern Arizona University where I learned I don't like snow, always lived in the Tucson valley and consider myself a certified desert rat. I enjoy reading and writing many different styles and genre, from political satire to mindless theater. Sometimes I write with a message in mind, sometimes I don't. When I'm not writing I enjoy traveling, photography, riding motorcycles, building and flying model aircraft and trying new stuff. You can find more about me and find out about new releases on Facebook by looking up Renaissance Redneck Media. I hope you get something from my writings, even if it is just a laugh. Thanks for reading.
