Side-Stepping the Rules: Broken or Not provides the reader with the gift of laughter from the male
perspective as it offers men childish ways for escaping the clutches of the woman who thinks she is Mrs. Right.
Quite by accident, it offers women time-tested strategies how to snag their man.
First, there was The Rules: Time-tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right by Ellen Fein
and Sherrie Schneider (Warner Books, 1995). Several years later came the parody book, Breaking the Rules:
Last-ditch Tactics for Landing the Man of Your Dreams by Laura Banks and Janette Barber (Career Press, 1997).
As a parody of The Rules, it offered, “All rules are made to be broken.”
Now it is time for the sensitive man’s point of view in this parody of a parody, Side-Stepping
the Rules: Broken or Not. Unlike the previous two books, The Rules and Breaking the Rules,
the parody Side-Stepping the Rules: Broken or Not offers men childish ways for escaping the clutches of
the woman, even a RB (Rule Breakin’) woman, who thinks she is Mrs. Right.
Side-Stepping the Rules: Broken or Not provides the sensitive male with 11 manifestos that will serve
as countermeasures to the wiles of RB women. No worries mate! If you fail to apply successfully the
first manifesto, you still have 10 more chances to fight off those pesky RB women. Even if you are
unsuccessful with the first 10 manifestos, the final manifesto, “Sell your house and blend invisibly with the
homeless,” still provides you—the most pitiful representation of mankind—a way out.
For those readers who are inpatient and used cliff notes to float through high school, save yourself time by
turning to Chapter 12 now and Consult Your MAN Index. The MAN Index offers you the chance to
pinpoint immediately how you will fare with the approaches of a RB woman. The MAN Index is based
grossly on an unscientific and nebulous study with the underlying theorem: You are what you eat!
Finally, the reader is escorted or forced into the 21st century—depending on whether you now use an abacus or
a computer. A glossary of terms is provided that help you understand women in Cyberspace. Don’t enter the 21st
century without it!
About the Author
The interest, drive and motivation to become a writer often have their roots early in life even though one may
not realize at the time. I was an 8-year-old third grader when I had some conscious awareness that writing is a
good thing. It was then that several friends and I started a neighborhood newsletter.
With typewriter in hand, the newsletter was born and essentially shared much about nothing that went on in the
neighborhood. However, our neighbors were kind enough to give us 25 cents for each newsletter… and most paying
customers could actually read the carbon blur caused by a dozen carbon sheets.
As the years passed, I took several courses in writing and things didn’t seem so blurry. I began writing little
stories for children of friends and relatives that included their personal data about their personal lives. This
happened about 15 years before such books became popular commercially. It was these stories that formed the basis
of my first children’s book, Twelve Upon A Time ...
I also wrote a mystery/adventure novel, Mirror, Mirror at 1600 D.C. This political intrigue novel gives
you characters in believable relationships bound up in a mystery and an adventure that will keep you speculating
throughout the book.
After that serious effort, I took a light-hearted approach in this parody book, Side-Stepping the Rules:
Broken or Not. This parody provides the reader with the gift of laughter from the male perspective as it
offers men childish ways for escaping the clutches of the woman who thinks she is Mrs. Right.
Side-Stepping the Rules: Broken or Not provides the sensitive male with 11 manifestos that will serve as
countermeasures to the wiles of RB women. No worries mate! Even if you are unsuccessful with the first 10 manifestos,
the final manifesto, "Sell your house and blend invisibly with the homeless," still provides you—the most pitiful
representation of mankind—a way out.
As with all my books, I hope the reader enjoys the read as much as I enjoyed the write.
In addition to Side-Stepping the Rules: Broken or Not, Edward Galluzzi has also authored Beginnings,
