Sex. Souls. Synchronicity. Mark Mallon has a lot of friction in his life. He is an abrasive man and an inspired writer. He is profane; he is profound. Mallon isn't the man he could have been. He's not living with loss; he's living as less. How will Mallon thrive? He'll keep you posted. Women love Mark Mallon. He talks to them. He talks to a lot of them. He falls in love with them. He has an easy way with them. But Mallon is not an easy man. Mallon has a lot of women in his life. Brady is an intelligent woman and a passionate attorney. She craves sex, cigarettes, and Mark Mallon. Kaitlyn is a headstrong woman carving a career in medicine. She's clinical everywhere except his bed. Ellen is an intense woman. The line between erotic and neurotic is narrow. Men love Mark Mallon. He talks to them. He talks to a lot of them. He drinks with them. He's not always easy with them. Mallon has a lot of friends in his life. Reid is a spirited man with an amusing temperament. Sometimes a sole mate is the one who walks beside you. John is a dedicated priest and Mallon's confidant. Sometimes a soul mate is the one who guides you. Tom is a lifelong friend who mingles his affection with antagonism. And sometimes a mate reminds you that you're very much alone. A novel of essays. Velocity waves from a male point of view. POST MARKED is not a work of fiction. POST MARKED is not a work of fact. POST MARKED is a work of friction. In the tradition of classical literature, POST MARKED is an epic allegorical novel restructured into an innovative form. POST MARKED is unlike anything you've read.
