Corporate Brat


I'm writing a book. If you really know me, then that isn't exactly a newsflash. However, I've finally figured out exactly what I want my book to be. Now, it is true that part of the book is a 13-year work in progress. The original book, Off the Clock, was all about corporate America. Hence the blog. The new book, Corporate Brat, sort of bookends Off the Clock and will be much more interesting. Of course, I'm biased.

The title is a play on words. It's partly a play on how I grew up and how that term relates to military kids who grow up moving all over the place. Then it's about me: A grown-up corporate brat. Did I handle the Prison Media situation like a brat? Perhaps. I took my knowledge and went home. And instead of sticking my tongue out at them, I told the whole world what superficial, back-stabbing, horrific jerks they are. Is that bratty? Depends, I suppose. But, it sure was fun. Most importantly, if I could back and do it differently would I? Absolutely not. But, will the India Project be the defining moment in my career? Quite possibly. And I'm OK with that.

So, I ask you, my readers: Would you read Corporate Brat? Should I change the title? And who should play me in the movie? I already have Steve Buscemi pegged to play Boss. And John Cusack is so playing The Husband. And yes, this is how I spend my evenings when all is quiet on the western front. Sweet dreams.

Anne Hathaway is the first one that comes to mind.

How about Parker Posey? She might be too old, though. I loved Anne Hathaway in "The Devil Wears Prada," so I could live with that!

When Cusack is in a movie from your book I totally get to stalk him. Just saying.

Hmm...I need to mull over your casting. Who would be just right?? Hmm.
