Because I know people will be hounding me about it, I feel like I have to say something.

First things first: If you drop someone off your label without talking to them, you're a piece of carp. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. This was something personal to him, and it wasn't his choice to have it leaked.

Secondly: It's nobody's fault. It's not mine, it's not Void's, and it's not Colorgraphic's. The unknown AI found a loophole in my code, which has happened one (1) time in the history of my Spire. It will not happen again. Smollusk and I will both be closely monitoring the Spire's code to keep it safe and secure, and I will be eliminating the foreign AI as soon as possible.

You can choose what you'd like to believe about me, or Void, or anyone involved, but keep it to yourself. You all are making fools out of yourselves. And shame on you, C*. I always knew you were garbage, but this just proves it.

To Colorgraphic: If you wish, you can sign onto Pearl's label at any time. All you have to do is ask. You will never be questioned for taking mental health breaks, and we will pay you fairly and justly and help you with whatever you need. You will always have a friend in Off the Hook. 💙

Writing On the Hook: A Guest Post by Francisco X. Stork

Guest Post by Francisco X. Stork, author of On the Hook!

In 2007, a year or so after my first young adult novel, Behind the Eyes, came out, I visited a reformatory school in Minneapolis where the students were reading the book. On the way back home, I was filled with the sense that the book had not given the students all that it could have given them. The young men in the school had not fully seen themselves in Hector’s fears and hopes and moral decisions. When, years later, the rights reverted to me, I jumped at the opportunity to not just revisit the story but to completely reinvent it.

Just as some authors get to retell other people’s stories, I have gotten to retell an old story of mine and make it entirely new.

On the Hook is that new book. Some of the characters have kept their old names, but they are different people – more real, more complex, more dynamic. What happens to them and how they respond is also deeper and more intricate. As I was writing the book, I kept in mind the image of a troubled young man in danger of getting caught in the cycle of violence where many of our youth are lost forever. I asked myself: What can I say to hold this reader’s attention, to engage him in the story so that he sees the turmoil in his heart reflected in the pains and triumphs of Hector and Joey?

I wrote this book with all my heart and strength for young readers in the painful grip of deciding who they want to be.

Writing On the Hook taught me that the true vision of a book reveals itself at its own time. There were things about the craft of writing and about life that I had to learn before I could write a story about the courage of love.
