Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss are corporate communications experts, turned business humor writers, who spent two decades careening through corporate America and barely lived to write about it. Having worked with some of Minnesota’s largest and most dynamic companies, including Best Buy and Cargill, Jennifer and Michael’s 40+ years of corporate work experiences inspired and helped shaped many of the story lines and characters found in their books.  Their latest book Operation Clusterpuck was released in November 2018, published by Wise Ink Publishing. Genres: Business / Fiction / Humor Operation Clusterpuck tells the funny, cynical but heartfelt story of Business Solutions, Inc. (BSI) — a U.S. corporation whose leaders have set in motion a series of disastrous projects that threaten to take the company down. BSI’s ragtag communications team once again gets pressed into action, juggling around-the-clock workloads, battling ruthless execs, and struggling to find meaning in their lives outside of work.  “We wanted to tell the story of those unsung corporate heroes — the ones who are barely keeping their heads above water, but still do the right thing for their work ‘family,’ even when it’s not easy,” says coauthor Jennifer Rock.  “Readers often tell us they recognize themselves and their co-workers in our novels,” adds coauthor Michael Voss. “We’re thrilled to reflect their work lives and experiences. Even if our stories might feel like a fun-house mirror.” https://rockandvossbooks.com
