    About this ebook

    FINALIST 2017 NEXT GENERATION INDIE BOOK AWARDS AND 2016 SHELF UNBOUND BEST INDIE BOOKS

    Join Melie, HR manager, on her desperate search for solutions to the messes boiling over in Axis Mundi Medical Center. You will laugh but is it funny to her? Why can’t those buttock-groping doctors and their flaky staff just get along? As she tries to seize control, and incidentally get a life, she runs into a little murder here, a cancer there, a mystery man, rivals that are not always human, like Gladys, the first parrot-woman gladiator. She won’t quit until she has it all—the hunk, the macaw, her life work—and neither will you!

    "This short novel has a promising premise with its flawed, endearing, and comical protagonist and her zany work environment." Publishers Weekly

    "Janet Garber utilizes her keen sense of the HR world to create a funny glimpse into what might happen in a company run amok. Her writing style is a joy." Tony Lee, VP Editorial, SHRM
