    New York City, 1985. Sequel to A Foot In The Door. Gerry finally landed the promotion he wanted-and a new life with Mary. But balancing love, ambition, and a job where one bad circuit can cost millions isn't easy. Caught between old-school techs with pot breaks and war stories, and a fast-paced digital future, Gerry has to figure out where he belongs... before everything changes. All characters appearing in this book are fictitious. Any resemblance to characters living or dead is purely coincidental.

    My first ever novel completed. Each chapter reads like a stand-alone episode, so you can jump in anytime. A slightly older coming-of-age story set in 1980's Brooklyn. Gerry is a 24-year-old AT&T employee stuck in an entry-level job, trying to make sense of his work, his neighborhood, and his dreams; while juggling friendship, loyalty, and love. There's Mary, the girl who might just be his future. And Audrey, the girl who could crush his world with a kiss and a promise. Loud, funny, and unpredictable, this is a story about friendship, chasing the future, and the kind of love that doesn't always play fair. All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

    Emma Morel is the perfect specimen of how life doesn't always turn out. At 28, she's single again after a twelve year relationship with her high school sweetheart Craig ends. Even though it was relatively amicable, Em still feels like she's failed at adulting. The fact she's studying another Masters with the seemingly impossible hopes of getting into her PhD while trying to hold down a job as an admin assistant doesn't really help much. Her five best friends are adamant she get back on the proverbial horse and go out of their way to make her. Which is all fine, until a new guy at their local asks about her relationship status and the girls make it their mission to hook the two up. But as Emma gets closer to Jaime, another prospect pops up, Ryan Matthews had been one of Craig's best friends for years and Emma had always had a bit of a crush on him. She'd even been embarrassing enough about it on plenty of occasions. So, when the idea that Matthews might maybe have felt the same all these years? After twelve years with one guy, Emma doesn't know how to deal with two suitors. Between Jaime - the edgy, gorgeous bartender - and Matthews - the Chris Evans look alike she'd dreamt about for years - what was a girl to do? Both of them seem to have adulting down-pat. Jaime has plans, exudes confidence, and he'd give anything for Emma. But Matthews has a proper job, there's eleven years of history there, and he would give anything for Emma, if only he didn't feel like he was betraying Craig...

    I confess, I'm a mid-twenties pseudo-adult with a short attention span and a penchant for self-deprecation. The following stories are real and no names have been changed to protect anyone because really this is just me struggling with adulthood while trying to reign in an overactive imagination. I'm trying to be funny, just go with it, okay?

    John Green once said that many first works are semi-autobiographical, and thousands of others have told me to write what I know. So I will try. Any reads/follows/upvotes are greatly appreciated. If you like this check out my poetry collection The Poet Waits Quietly to Paint the Unsaid.

    Understandably fast food isn't one of the most fulfilling jobs or the highest paying, 12.38 dollars an hour is a measly wage but to be fair the tasks aren't that hard. After nine months here I am beginning to understand how it alters the mind, you get so bored you begin to notice smaller things about people. The enlarged pupils, scars, shaky hands and bruises. You see things that can change your perspective, ultimately I don't think it was bad for my mind, if anything I've had experiences that allow me to take different perspectives on life, on people. Prologue exert: Everyone has a different definition of paradise, weather its a sunlit beach where waves gently lap at the sand, a valley filled with perfumed flowers or a glistening, snowy utopia. Many never live to feel true paradise no matter how hard they pursue it, so they reach for euphoria in other ways. People take off, escaping on intergalactic journeys using plants, powder and pills. Later, coming back down to their mundane reality. We get taught in school about drugs, the dangers of such a poisonous and addictive escape though many choose to completely ignore these precious threats.
