Pretty Boy

Jonny finally got a haircut after months of everyone telling him that he looks like the Tasmanian Devil. Now he thinks he’s God’s gift to women, so Hack wrote this to mock him. The problem is, he thought the book was serious, so he’s more obnoxious than ever.

Romantic Tragedy

Hack saw his friend, actor Eddie Frierson, onstage in a delightful romantic comedy and was so charmed by the experience that he decided to write a novel in the genre. Unfortunately, his own disastrous romantic history came back to him as he was penning the book, and he got so embittered that he had the mobster Big Tim gun down the lovers in the final chapter.
