When middle-aged, office accountant Chip Clementine is told he has breast cancer, his controlled life goes off-orbit as he gets to grips with his new normal. Ever the opportunist, Chip processes his shock and grief the only way he knows how – taking advice from those he trusts, finding new friends in the most unusual of places, having a little bit more fun at the office, pulling overnighters at work, brokering deals for those less confident, making money off of his mini-refrigerator, and, of course, signing up for a flash mob dance at his local mall. Laugh, cry and cheer with Chip as he navigates the spectrum of human emotion and drama at work with his cubicle colleagues on the 4th floor. Learn about Chip’s past before he entered the corporate scene. Be inspired by his personal but unconventional fitness program. Take heart when he confronts the IT guy with no social filters. Empathize when Chip’s eye twitch takes on a life of its own. Silently cheer with Chip when he finds the courage to connect with the lab technician in a moment of panic during a routine MRI scan that goes pear-shaped. Even a cancer diagnosis won’t stop Chip from giving you a little lift as he pays his dues and gets through his day, one annoying/embarrassing human interaction at a time.

Alex Carter has worked in, around, and for large corporations and government bureaucracies for decades, humorously capturing the essence of ‘cubicle life’ in his first novel, Chip Clementine and the October Surprise. When not thinking about Chip’s latest adventures and mishaps, Alex loves cooking, being around family, serving in the U.S. Army Reserve as a ‘corporate strategist,’ and generally finding ways to fight off the aging process. He lives in North Carolina with his wife and extended family.
