Mallory Meets His Match

"Kevin Mallory’s self-centered mindset and utter lack of knowledge of the world don’t keep him from being picked as a vice presidential candidate, but they may keep him from converting his friendship with no-nonsense Kathie into anything resembling a romance. His career as a grudging Customer Support Representative at the UniCast Cable Company is in jeopardy, his car has been repossessed, his finances are in the dumpster, his co-worker in the next cubicle hates him, and he’s failed at every romantic quest he ever started. His disenchanted young friend, Spike, recreates him as a cartoonish internet avatar of outrage, fulminating against the social activists who he imagines are responsible for his below-average life. Mallory's brand of outrage is phenomenally successful, but his skyrocketing career is pulling him out of the orbit of the only woman in whom he has ever taken a mature interest."

Doc Doc Zeus: A Novel of White Coat Crime

"Still mourning the baby she gave away a year before, and feeling distant from her parents, her old friends, and her church, sixteen-year-old Diane believes she has found a supportive friend and lover in her gynecologist, Dr. Zeus. She confides only in an old acquaintance, Woody, who reserves judgment about the affair even as he tries to keep her from taking the opiates that Dr. Zeus continually prescribes. Zeus’s marriage deteriorates as his wife, Elena, gradually realizes the depths of her husband’s depravity. But she is still shocked at the psychological damage he is willing to inflict on their twelve-year-old daughter to gain an advantage over her in the divorce proceedings. The state medical board has suspicions about Dr. Zeus, but the official inquiry inches forward only very slowly. Dave, the new investigator assigned to the case, is jealous of the accomplishments of his wealthy girlfriend. He begins to take shortcuts to bring the investigation to a head and prove to himself that his life is as meaningful as hers. 'A complex, multilayered, and psychologically acute tale about a predatory physician: well done.' Kirkus Reviews 'Diane comes across as both real and confused, which is absolutely perfect.' The BookLife Prize."

Mallory Goes to Therapy: Chasing a Cure in His Own Way

"Kevin Mallory is a Customer Assistance Representative for a cable company. He keeps his customers on hold, his supervisor on the run and his female nemesis on ice, but a new friend just might change his perspective. Lilly has supported herself since high school with just a little help from her only living relative, her alcoholic older brother. She runs a small non-profit housing agency while McFadden, her supervisor and director of the agency, travels around the country on work -- and also on play. Lilly decides, based on Mallory's boorish advances, that he is in need of sex addiction therapy. She wants to help him because he has led her to believe, falsely, that he has saved her brother's job. He goes in the wrong door in the church basement and accidentally joins the Healing Hearts Therapy Group instead. Zach, Lilly's charming, gregarious, self-satisfied boyfriend, outrages her by sharing their private conversations with all their friends and egging them on to put pressure on her to marry him. She meets Selby, a humble policeman, through Mallory, and is immediately attracted to him. They meet at first at the shooting range, where she impresses him with her maturity and spirit. When she finds out McFadden has been embezzling funds, Zack implores her not to report it. Their love life begins to suffer from their disagreement, as well as from her growing attraction to Selby. She takes Selby's advice and tells her boss she must report him, endangering her own career as well as her relationship with Zach. In an attempt to save Lilly's job, Mallory reverts to his old habit of impersonating an attorney in order to blackmail McFadden."

Mallory's Manly Methods

"Mallory’s Manly Methods is a comic adventure story about a Customer Service Representative for a cable company who hates customers, looks down on women, and fears Blacks. When his actual life experiences conflict with his prejudices, he makes his own unique attempts at self-improvement, but his efforts are complicated by the fact that he’s also a blundering idiot. As Mallory gropes his way ever so slowly toward maturity, readers may find themselves loving or hating him (and possibly doing both at the same time). Kirkus Reviews describes this book as a 'touching, silly adventure' that is 'oddly endearing.'"
