HeHeHe: Fallen One

Mac is flattered when a multi-national, cross-time corporation offers him a job in his hour of need.  It loses its allure when their relentless HR refuses to take, “no” for an answer.  Having survived an extended internship with an uncaring meatgrinder Mac has proved he’s a step up from your average mook.  That makes him leadership material and qualified for “advanced training” delivered straight from the corporate executives. Further complications include an angry mechanic and the hostile AI she vengefully installs in Mac’s battle suit, a safety instructor who only sweats the small stuff, and a shark tank in the “cutting edge” childcare facility.  The door is locked, so none of the children will accidentally hurt the shark. Mac won’t have to go it alone.  A luckless troll and a vampire that spends far too much time hanging around his neck lend support as they learn the ropes together.  At least the food is to die for, when he’s not having to dodge it. What to expect: - Slow build relationships with a large cast of misfit characters that grows over time. - Situation and character driven humor - Clean language and laughs - Comedic romantic subplot - Zombies (some in less debt than others), vampires and other fantastical races - Edge of  tomorrow setting in an alternate world - An AI that should never have escaped the lab once, let alone twice. - There are no shapeshifting dragons, werewolves, or ghosts that inhabit computers. They’re not real. Ideally shelved between Douglass Adams and Sir Terry Pratchett *No AI was used in the making of this story.  Miss Windsor would not tolerate that kind of thing.  We're not telling her about the cover art.  Marketing is "working on it."
