Isolation. Quarantine. Ever wonder what happens behind those closed doors?

I was stuck at home feeling caged and homicidal. I hadn't worked a regular job in over a
decade, but I had to do something to keep myself out of prison. So, I signed up to be a COVID-19 Contact Tracer to do my bit to help us through the pandemic. How hard could making a few phone calls be, right? I was in for a rude surprise. I became the eternal bearer of bad news and mankind's punching bag. I thought I'd heard it all. I was wrong. It's incredible what strangers will say over the phone. Some people made me want to pull my hair out, or worse … Some unsuspecting victims made me laugh until the tears rolled down my face. Then there were the calls that touched me to my very core. These are the conversations I'll never forget.

*There are a few stories that are only available with the purchased audiobook.*

Jude's Journal: Charlie Brown

This “Charlie Brown” article marked the beginning of my accidental author career one year ago. The story goes like this: As you may know, I was a COVID-19 Contact Tracer. All work was done from home, so while I had coworkers, it wasn’t like we were gathering around the water cooler to share a laugh. But, my team had a chat room. One particularly lousy day, I told a funny story to lift everyone’s mood. It worked, so I made a habit of it. I do loads of stupid things, so why not share?
