REPAIRMAN JONES

Alvin Jones works at a property named Armstead Arms, where he has been a maintenance man for six years. His code of conduct at work has always been 'Don't Mess with The Tenants'. He is well known by everyone for keeping firm to his code. After his 35th birthday, Alvin experiences a mid-life crisis. He is lonely, sexually frustrated, and hasn't been in a serious relationship for years. At work, Al begins to feel like he's on a diet, looking at lots of female food, but tasting none of them. Even though his company frowns on staff fraternizing with tenants, Alvin starts to graze in the field of tenants where he works. When he finally snaps from the sexual pressure and exposure to young, lonely, and voluptuous women, Al opens a door that he finds he can never close again, and it changes his life forever. "Repair Man Jones" is Carolyn Gibson's debut novel, rooted in part, from her substantial years of observations as a property manager.
