Description:
“It was either promote you or fire you,” Jeff’s boss explained. His smile arched wide beneath a sawed-off mustache. His hands twitched on the desk as if longing, aching for violence. Jeff sat across from him, straight in his chair, glad for the physical space between them. This was not your normal boss/employee relationship.
For the past two years, Jeff's life has been a test of endurance. He was a part-time supervisor for Unified Shipping, balancing one simple, relentless equation—-productivity. But his numbers are hopeless. His best employee is trying to sleep with the most vocal feminist on the team. His boss considers it good sport to threaten him daily in at least two different languages. His fiancée seems to be rethinking the marriage thing.
Then fate strikes. A horrific accident scatters debris hundreds of yards across a rain-slicked highway and Jeff is promoted to handle the fallout. He seizes the chance like the only rope out of hell. But there’s a catch to this wonderful promotion. A catch that has the potential to destroy the rest of his life, leaving him with one inevitable decision. And then people start dying.

William Amerman was born in Houston, Texas and obtained his Bachelors degree in English from The University of Texas - Austin, way back in the last century. He lived in Austin for eight years, then moved to Denver, Colorado to explore the whole "mountain man" lifestyle. In Denver he met a cute Dutch girl on a ski slope, whom he quickly wooed and followed back to her native country, The Netherlands. He married the cute Dutch girl in 1999 and they spent the next 7 years raising two sons and a sadly over-weight hound in a suburb of Amsterdam before moving back to the US in 2003. Their third son was born in 2005.
He received his MBA in Finance from Santa Clara University in 2009 and currently holds a "real" job in Information Technology in order to feed his three sons, but manages to write in the mornings and on weekends. His latest efforts are directed towards finishing a futuristic thriller trilogy based on a simple idea he had one late Saturday morning lying in bed, looking at the sky through a skylight window in the roof; proving that getting up early can be a hazard to creative thinking!

They fall in with a band of young adults trespassing on the property, led by the idealistic Charlie.
At the camp, Carson finds friendship and the stirrings of purpose, but tension between him and a loner named Jonas threatens to escalate into an explosive confrontation. Carson also must deal with his mounting feelings for Karen, even as he struggles to accept that she can never be his.
The Way It Is is a story of hope, betrayal, love, and one man's attempt to find purpose in the face of society's definition of the value of an individual. Will Carson find a new life...or will his journey, his choices, and the consequences lead to his ultimate destruction?
