New Work of Fiction 'B. S., Incorporated' Hilariously Exposes Life in Corporate America

    MINNEAPOLIS, MN, April 29, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Authors Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss announced today that their debut novel B. S., Incorporated will be released in May 2016, published by Wise Ink Creative Publishing.

Funny, insightful, and heartfelt, B.S., Incorporated is sure to speak to fans of such hits as The Office, The Devil Wears Prada, and Office Space. 

Although it is a work of fiction, B.S., Incorporated draws from the authors' real-life experiences as corporate journalists and executive speechwriters, which gave them all-access passes from the warehouse to the penthouse. It is a feel-good story about people finding themselves and coming into their own while simultaneously skewering every aspect of life in corporate America.

"After yet another mind-numbing, daylong meeting, we fled to a bar patio in the shadow of our company's office building," says Jennifer on the origin of the novel. "There, we drank to excess and swapped hilarious and heartbreaking tales about life in corporate America. At that point we realized we had a story--actually, many stories--worth telling, and we pinky swore that after sobering up, we'd write a book that captures the humor and humanity of the 9-to-5 grind."

In B. S., Incorporated, Business Solutions, Inc. is in a state of chaos. While the employees spend their time rendezvousing in the stairwells, the CEOs are running their business into the ground through the use of shady consultants. Will Evans, warehouse-worker-turned-white-collar-employee, is put in charge of implementing the consultants' plans. Here he finds himself thrust into a muddle of absurdity and responsibility that he never expected.

When the plans push BSI to the brink of bankruptcy, Will teams up with Anna Reed, a corporate mercenary with heels as high as her ambition. He needs her cunning and courage to pull off his covert plan to save the company. Can Anna, the consummate job jumper, find a reason to go all-in on BSI? Or is she better off bailing and letting the company go down in flames?

"B.S., Incorporated is a book that anyone with any experience in the business world will get a huge kick out of. Authors Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss have written an incredibly engaging read that will have their readers laughing uproariously and turning the pages just as quickly as they can in order to find out what happens next. The authors clearly have vast experience in the business world, because so many of the scenarios they impart are things that many of us have encountered in our day to day careers." - 5 Stars, Readers' Favorite

"Funny as hell, with sharp observations and cunning insights. It reads like the best happy-hour story you've ever heard." - Matt Kramer, CEO, Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce
