Mallory’s Manly Methods is a comedic novel about a blundering young professional. Kevin Mallory is such an accomplished liar he has convinced himself he has an almost average life. He tries to use his exceptional skill at prevarication to hang onto his job without doing any work, win the love of his co-worker without recognizing who she really is, take advantage of the young Black man who moves in next door, and manipulate the police and the courts into accepting his warped idea of justice.

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.

Still mourning the baby she gave away a year before, and feeling distant from her parents, her old friends, and her church, 16-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.
