#1 Bestseller: Celebrating Public Service

by | Aug 8, 2025

When I wrote “The Accidental Executive”, my goal was to share a story about discovering purpose and making an impact through public service. While memoirs about civil service may speak to a niche audience, this audience holds deep significance for me.

Seeing the book reach #1 on Amazon is more than a personal milestone—it’s an affirmation that this message resonates broadly.

This achievement serves as a public acknowledgment of the vital work that all civil servants do, often behind the scenes and without fanfare, even in the face of tension and turbulence. Your dedication, professionalism, and commitment is the backbone of effective government.

I’m truly honored by this response and thankful for everyone who has joined me on this journey.

BTW, for those of you who love Audible like me, an Audible version is in the works and will be available soon.
