Pug on the Run

Hack openly despises his cover artist Jonny M.’ pug Boris, who he got from a pug rescue in Korea. When Hack heard that, he penned this fanciful tale of how Boris had to leave South Korea because he was wanted by the Korean Mafia. The book turned out to be pretty accurate.

The House Dick

Hack came to sexual maturity in an age when hotels still employed house detectives to ensure that couples who stayed under their roofs were married and not just there for Godless hanky panky. Since the vast majority of his sexual activity at the time was with syphilitic prostitutes, he carried a bogus marriage license to display at check-in which would typically result in his being beaten to a pulp in the alley behind the hotel by the house dick. This novel is a remembrance of those golden times.
