Chapter two from the book that 20+ publishers rejected

Chapter Two: There will be media attention

I need to start this story by letting you know right from the jump: I’m not, nor have I ever been, a workaholic. Instead, I embraced the “work to live” philosophy, and by the time I entered my twentieth year in the Hennepin County Attorney’s office, I’d mastered the important skill of compartmentalization, which meant leaving the work at the office and leaving the office exactly at the end of business hours. I stuck to a fairly rigid schedule—catching the 7:36 bus that stopped at my corner, arriving to work by 8:00, and leaving by 4:30 to catch the bus back home.
