Wholesale chaos in the world of Retail... Derrick Payton, assistant manager of a high-end home improvement store, has been waiting nine years for a promotion to full store manager. Now, the job has fallen into his lap. Unfortunately, the store he's been handed is on a downhill skid, and he only has a week to turn it around. Now he has to battle crazy customers, employees who think the time clock is optional, and the dreaded Wicked Witches of the West-a pair of back-stabbing female associates who are determined to see him go down in flames. His wife is pushing him to ask for a raise; his staff is trying to push him out the door; and his customers are about to push him over the edge. Caught in the middle, Derrick can't help but wonder... Who says the customer is always right?

Why do you hunt?" Mary asked. Big Jim held up his rifle and said, "It's in our nature to hunt." James 'Big Jim' Peck is a professional game hunter in Africa whose life has evolved from wartime encounters to hunting animals; but when a client is killed in a hunting expedition gone awry, he's forced to hang up his guns and retreat to his plantation in the face of an ongoing investigation. When a rogue Cape buffalo whom villagers believe to be infused with an evil spirit terrorizes the territory, Big Jim is asked to track and kill the creature. With the help of his trusted partner, Caesar Wilde, and American photo-journalist Mary Watkins, they embark on an adventurous journey through the African bush. After a series of inexplicable deadly encounters the hunters soon realize they are up against a creature unlike any other they have hunted, and it will take all their combined experience to kill it...or be killed! "Big Jim takes the reader on a safari where one can feel the heat and smell the dust of the hunt!" - InD'tale Magazine "Big Jim presents a delightfully involving African saga for readers which explores so much more than the thrill of the hunt alone. Readers will appreciate this novel replete with insights on relationships and motivations." - Midwest Book Review
