Off Strategy: A Novel

by Rob Vlock

A laugh-out-loud novel for anyone who’s ever sat in a cubicle, attended a business meeting or done something truly stupid for love.
Advertising copywriter Jay Hayes has a wonderful, smart, funny, beautiful girlfriend. He also has an incurably monstrous client who he only knows as a distorted voice at the other end of a black, plastic speakerphone. The problem is, they happen to be the same woman. To make matters worse, three months into their relationship, she still thinks he’s a guy named Karl. Throw in a tyrannical boss with near-homicidal tendencies and a fashion-impaired account supervisor who’s bent on destroying Jay’s career, and his life is about to get, well, complicated. OFF STRATEGY presents a humorous take on romance, ambition and office politics as it follows Jay Hayes’s struggle to save his relationship with the woman he loves – and save his career while he’s at it. OFF STRATEGY is a novel for anyone who’s ever sat in a cubicle, attended a business meeting or done something truly stupid for love.
