Hack tried to sue the makers of the smash hit musical “Mamma Mia” for plagiarizing this 1966 novella but the judge who heard the case said that the ABBA musical was “a delight for the eyes, ears and soul” whereas Hack’s work “made me want to get into a shower and never come out again.” He not only found against Hack but ordered him to pay all legal fees, which forced him into yet another bankruptcy.

Happy School Principals’ Day!


Hack lives in Los Angeles and he couldn’t help but notice that the detective stories that he loves from the 1940s set in the City of Angels always have the hero dressed in heavy layers when the temperature in inevitably between 90-110°.
