In the aftermath of the shocking conclusion of “Birth of a Salesman”, many must scramble to figure out the answer to the question “what’s next?”

A political power play results in a dramatic shakeup in the world of Vincent Scott and his loyal team after their decision to report the illegalities in their department at the hands of corrupt dictator, Keith Dickhauser.  “While the Salesman is Away, And Other Stories” continues the tale of ABM’s advertising bureau, but from the perspective of other players in the organization.

Who can be trusted?  The story begins with parking lot conversations about the shakeup, continues with bombshells as Dickhauser returns home to his boyfriend the evening of the change, and others reveal they knew a lot more than they had previously let on as the plot thickens and all is exposed.

With everyone either out for themselves, to protect themselves or to uncover the truth, “While the Salesman is Away, And Other Stories” is a look at the lengths to which some go to do just those things.

The book-within-a-book trend begun in “Birth of a Salesman” is continued here with Vincent Scott’s entry, “The Surviving Game”, discussing at length the job market and the corporate political game, and how to master both to your advantage.

With a lawsuit, revenge and destiny all hanging in the balance, Vincent Scott also embarks on a new business journey…and finds himself in similar terrain with a whole new cast of characters, setting up the finale, “The Salesman Against The World.”

“While the Salesman Is Away, And Other Stories” is written by Carson V. Heady and will be coming to bookshelves near you in 2013!
