Excerpt - Hope for Garbage

I thought it might be fun to blog some excerpts from my new novel Hope for Garbage...

As soon as Trevor stepped foot into his uncle's house, he was lectured on the world according to Gary. A kid like Trevor was only going to get ahead in this world by screwing people over- simple as that. "Honesty won't get you anywhere kid. Being nice won't either. I mean you're always nice to a customers face, but you're not nice to their wallet. You understand?"
Trevor just nodded his head and thought, how can I be related to this idiot?
