BEGINNING OF SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION

Hi guys.

How are you doing?

I am well. Thanks.

So, I’ve written a book called “Labor Pains”. It’s humorous fiction and the response I’ve received so far has been pretty positive and encouraging.

What will be in "Labor Pains"?
1.) Laughs. You might choke on your Nantucket Nectar a couple of times if you're reading it during your lunchbreak.

2.) Good times. It may make you get up and dance.

What won't be included in "Labor Pains"

1.) Sports agendas. No Kentucky Basketball talk or any other sports related talk.

2.) Buyer's remorse.

What’s it about you ask?

Labor Pains is the hysterical debut from C.A. Huggins. It tells the story of Kevin Taylor, a woefully mediocre man, who finds himself at a crossroads in his mid-30's. Everyday his alarm clock wakes him up for the cold realization that he has to go to a job that he downright loathes. His cubicle is his own private jail cell for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

For the past 10 years, all of his efforts to get a promotion or get another job have been thwarted by his indifference towards hard work and overall incompetence. He feels destined to be stuck in the glut of the lower middle-class, living from check to check, never having the ability to do the things he wants to do, and going to a passionless job he hates in order to maintain his mediocre fate.

Kevin is then proposed a scenario where he would be guaranteed a promotion at his job by getting all of his rival co-workers fired from their respective positions, thus moving him up the pecking order and leaving him as the only candidate for the lone vacancy. This strategy of office terrorism in Labor Pains leads him into a string of hysterical occurrences as he quests to get what he thinks he rightfully deserves.

Will Kevin get the promotion? Can he attain the lifestyle he desires? Is it all worth it? And are all of these questions more important than Kevin and his work buddies deciding what they're having for lunch?

Right now, it’s an e-book and can be purchased for $5.99 at the following fine online retailers:
Amazon - http://tinyurl.com/omwnw92

Barnes & Noble - http://tinyurl.com/m6bgvb7

Kobo - http://tinyurl.com/lrecjvc


You don’t have an E-Reader or Tablet?

Well here’s a link to some FREE Kindle apps for your PC, Mac, or cell phone:

I also have a short excerpt of the book on my blog:

In addition, I have a short story that’s currently FREE on Amazon until 10/23. Yep FREE. Please download. Check it out and write a review if you dig it.

So in summation. I wrote a novel. Check it out here:

All purchases will be greatly appreciated. And if you like it write a review, because the reviews help a lot.

Thanks OK Sports fam!
