Surfing with the Bishop: A Funny, Business Novel

Description

"A hilariously fun read loaded with relatable characters and laugh-out-loud moments that's so damn entertaining, you'll wish you worked with these people. Buckle up for a white-knuckle ride that will remind you of the best companies you've ever worked for and the worst."

Tim Shiner, Entrepreneur and author of 50 Things They Didn't Teach You in School

Business owners die, heirs sell, and companies disappear. It happens all the time. But, when Grayson Quinn's mentor Big Bill passes away - and his daughters quickly decide to sell off their father's legacy - the burden of saving the company and the livelihood of so many others falls to Grayson.

To succeed, he must accomplish the seemingly impossible. It will take all of Grayson's ingenuity to overcome insanely bad marketing, negotiate without money, and outwit obnoxious competitors who want to buy the company and steal his business, not necessarily in that order.

Hidden motives drive critical decisions, as Grayson is caught in the middle with little understanding of anyone's true intentions. Business as usual is his directive to anyone who will listen, but there's nothing usual about the final days of Martlet Visionary Products.
