About 'Who's Minding the Store?'

‘Who’s Minding the Store?’ is about a retail home improvement store on the verge of being shut down unless sales improve. Enter Derrick Payton, a veteran retail salesman and manager. He arrives to The Design, Your Choice for Home Improvement to take on the role of operations manager. On his first day his district manager tells him, “You’re the new store manager and you’ve got one week to improve sales or the store will be closed permanent!”

Who's Minding the Store?

Congratulations to the nominees for the 2012 Book Awards!


My next novel is about a manager of a retail home improvement store who has one week to improve sales or risk having it shut down. I missed the chance to enter my novel in 2012 for MWSA, but look forward to discussing this with all of you upon its release this fall.


Once again you have my congratulations to the nominees.
