My first novel

After years of writing books about internal audit, risk management, GRC, and so on, I decided to do what friends and family have suggested: write a novel.

That product is now available on Amazon. It is described as:

Norman Marks’ first novel is the tale of the newly appointed head of Internal Audit of a global manufacturing company based in the United States.

He has to deal with accounting frauds on two continents, suspected employment discrimination, and even discord among his team members. All of that while learning the business and its management team.

It would be a challenge for a leader who has built a solid reputation in the company over a period of years, let along one who is learning where the coffee machine is.

Will he succeed, or will he (as his wife fears) antagonize the top executives and lose his job?

This is a work of fiction, with fictional characters and situations. But it could be real.

I enjoyed writing it. I hope you enjoy reading it.

    Norman, how did you find an enormous amount of time to create a fictional (or not so fictional) novel? Incredible achievement indeed.

    a) I hope the one above is an affiliate link that gets you a kickback from all the purchases of your devoted readership here.
    b) Will you be narrating the audiobook yourself? I hope there’ll be one.
