Korea Mullich and the Pillagers of Ted Williams’ Frozen Head

Happy heavenly birthday to Ted Williams!

Williams is most famous for two things. 1> He is arguably the greatest hitter in baseball history and 2> he had his head cryogenically frozen after his death so that it could be reanimated when the technology was available (no kidding, he really did). Hack is a huge baseball fan and also plans to have his remains frozen when he finally goes, so he wrote this novel in tribute to his hero.

Rock, Paper Scissors

Happy National Rock, Paper Scissors Day!

In this taught sports drama, Jonny’s opponents figure out his strategy in the first round, so they always play Scissors until they pound Jonny into a bloody mess. But in the final championship bout, the arrogant leader is so accustomed to forming a fist after every time he beats Jonny that he accidentally makes it too early and the referee decrees it as a Rock. Jonny is unable to enjoy his victory because he lapses into a coma just before he can get in his winning punch.

Stairway to Hell

This cover was inspired by Hack’s cover artist Jonny M.’s experiences when his home of Los Angeles was facing the scourge of Tropical Storm Hillary. It began when Jonny texted the cover art for The Bunker to a friend the day before, who responded “You’re going to hell.”

A little later when it was pouring rain from Tropical Storm Hilary, Jonny had a vision of an earthquake and having to evacuate his government-assisted housing outside. Shortly afterward, there was an earthquake (no evacuation necessary, though). When he told the same friend about it, they replied “so the earthquake is YOUR fault.”

Jonny made the cover and Hack dashed out a novel around it.
