About The Book
You'll meet Warren, the cowboy of customer service, capable of verbally hog-tying even the most abusive customer; Amazon employee #5, a computer gamer who spends at least six hours a day locked in his office killing goblins but is worth a cool $300 million; and Jean-Michele, Daisey's girlfriend and sparring partner, who tries to keep him grounded, even as dot-com mania seduces them both.
Punctuated by Daisey's hysterically honest fictional missives to CEO Jeff Bezos, 21 Dog Years is an epic story of greed, self-deception, and heartbreak -- a wickedly funny anthem to an era of bounteous stock options and boundless insanity.

Raves and Reviews
John Marshall Seattle Post-Intelligencer Daisey's raucous tales of a self-professed dilettante inside the Internet pressure cooker...possess the ability to provoke horror and cosmic giggles, especially among those who reside outside dot-comland.
Glenn Fleishman The Seattle Times A well-written, fast-paced piece of gonzo biography...elegiac and wry.
Nick Wingfield The Wall Street Journal 21 Dog Years has the wry sensibility of David Sedaris.
Walter Kirn author of Up in the Air A modern Dickensian fable of pointless toil inside an industrial madhouse. Too funny not to be accurate, too heartbreaking not to be true.
