About the book

Musings of a Security Guard cover

Why do perfectly ordinary jobs produce such extraordinarily strange stories?

Musings of a Security Guard asks a question the job kept insisting on: why do perfectly ordinary shifts produce such extraordinarily strange stories?

It is written from the quieter side of the door — the long nights, the very specific visitors that appear after 1 a.m., and the ordinary people who tend to reveal themselves in front of anyone they've decided doesn't count.

Part field notebook, part slow argument for paying attention, it takes a job most people are trained not to notice and treats it, with a straight face, as a decent vantage point for watching human beings.
