Hi Jeff and Kelly,
Want a fast-paced, totally original, really fun read? If Carl Hiaasen and The Office had a baby, it might look something like ANIMAL CRACKER.
Can a bunch of smart, sassy women get the goods on their boss at Boston’s venerable Animal Protection Agency? Hal Mason is Brad-Pitt handsome, with a Harvard professor wife and an adorable but shiftless son who wins the heart of Diane Salvi, the organization’s new communications director and the book’s narrator.
The malapropping, narcissistic Hal, famous for his animal-themed ties and jokes, has managed to earn the adulation of the organization’s board of directors and the scorn of his staff. When his negligence leads to the dog poop literally hitting the fan, Diane and her reporter roommate Genie set out to dig up some dirt on him, with a little help from friends in the office.
There's never a bad time for a fun read in which the good guys (or gals) wreak vengeance on a conniving boss who deserves no less.
Thanks for considering Animal Cracker, and I happily swap reads.
All my best,
Andi
P.S. Your backing would really help me stay on the editor's desk for just eight more days. And look at you, with that nice empty space on your shelf!
