Happy heavenly birthday to the great Groucho Marx!

Happy birthday to the great Brie Larson!


Hack wrote this rip-off of Orson Welles’ Touch of Evil after seeing it on The Late, Late Show He thought he’d get away with this act of plagiarism because he was so jarred by Charlton Heston’s performance as a Mexican narcotics officer that when he awoke the next day, he was certain that it had just been a nightmare.


We know this probably seems a little self-indulgent, but Jonny’s been really depressed this week, so Hack wrote this to cheer him up. It turned out to be one of his best books ever.

Happy birthday to the great Cassandra Peterson!



When Hack learned that Jonny was going to see an audiologist about possibly needing a hearing aid, he was so delighted that he immediately wrote this novel and gave Jonny (who also makes the artwork for Hack’s book covers) explicit instructions on what he wanted depicted in the cover art.
Alas, when Jonny came back from his appointment and reported that the doctor told him that his hearing had only a microscopic decrease from last year and he wasn’t in need of a hearing aid yet, Hack (who has two hearing aids, a pacemaker and an experimental liver made from stem cells and soy product) was so depressed that he locked himself in his van and refused to come out for three days.
