“With a mix of openness and humor, James captures what it means to work in content farms that help small businesses with their online presence.” --- Library Journal

You're 52. Divorced. Single mom to a teenaged son and a tween daughter. Happily self-employed but worried about the cost of health insurance, the inevitable impact of perimenopause on your body, and whether you should keep dating a sexy plumber who's sweet and funny but lives an hour away and doesn't seem that into you.

So, after 22 years of full-time freelancing, you take a day job as a tiny, creaky cog in the corporate American machine where you're decades older than most of your coworkers - and you write about it. The Book That (Almost) Got Me Fired: How I (Barely) Survived A Year in Corporate America is an entertaining, midlife memoir that shares what (and what not) to do when you make that corporate leap. Watch the book trailer (it’s fun!) here.

Available at brick-and-mortar bookstores near you, and Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
