The Shark Tank is a work of non-fiction based upon several years of selected journal entries that probably would not have seen the light of day had not friends and family suggested I put it all down on paper into a single work - this, after years of sharing work stories that few would ever believe.
Camden is no stranger to national and international news. Camden, New Jersey has often appeared among the nation's listings of the poorest and most dangerous cities and recently has been cited for it's unprecedented layoffs of nearly half it's police force, a third of it's firemen and half of it's civilian workforce along with the closure of it's municipal library system.
Working for Camden municipal government is not for the faint of heart; some compare working in Camden City Hall to Beau Geste, Hell, or a Kafka theme park on steroids; it’s probably accurate to consider all of the above.
