I'm gonna be the John Grisham of Office Temp work.
So the latest temp gig I've lined up is helping some company do SEC filings. The financial statements I've been reviewing are so damn surreal I'm convinced that this company is a front for the Russian Mob.

By embellishing reality a little bit, I figure I can churn out a series of formulaic novels about office temps who find themselves cast into a web of intrigue and deceit. I'm gonna be rich, baby!!!

1. If you want 'rich', bypass novels altogether.....
write a screenplay. Market it to network TV - your idea sounds like something they'd find appealing. Call it "Desparate Aliases". Cast a couple of sexy young women as the temps, use the Russian mob for the violence..... I'm telling you, we're talking premium time slot, excessive promos (ad nauseum), and no plot - but plenty of product placements in your programs....
