Lying for a Living
Description:
"Jesse Few, the hero of LYING FOR A LIVING, is a great creation, a Viagra-popping traveling paper salesman with a married girlfriend, a hot ex-wife he can't get over, troubled children and a posse of salty golfing buddies who have his back as Jesse sets out to avoid adulthood and fails, as all the good ones do. The story of his journey to save his son moves like Jesse's pearl-colored Escalade, barreling up the shoulder past the gridlocked traffic on the interstate. I couldn't resist it."
-David Payne, author of BAREFOOT TO AVALON
Jesse Few is a 49-year-old suburban rogue who’s perfectly fine living a life of golf, booze, and women too young for him. But when a mysterious backyard stalker threatens his mother, and a megalomaniac preacher skirmishes with his son, Jesse’s cavalier approach to life and love is tested.
A cowboy-up moment drives the derelict dad to decide whether he’ll saddle up and rescue his loved ones from menacing threats or retreat to the comforts of denial, avoidance, and blowing up watermelons with black-market machine guns. In this irreverent mid-life coming-of-age story, an unwitting hero wrestles with his capacity to mature into a bona fide adult.
This energetic and entertaining debut novel by Steve McCondichie is packed with dark humor and riveting suspense. It’s a fast-paced, fun read that’ll charm fans of contemporary American dramedy and satirical thrillers.
"Jesse Few isn't a bad man. He's just slipped a little, and then a little more, and then . . . well, you get the picture. But faced with a family crisis, Jesse answers the call in his own, inimitable way, and in the process confronts his greatest enemy--himself. This wonderfully entertaining debut, full of vivid southern characters, announces Steve McCondichie as a writer to watch."
