Hank's backstory:East Coast kid who came to Hollywood when his book got optioned. Fell into the Los Angeles lifestyle and has been trying to dig himself out ever since.Back in New York, the seasons grounded him, constantly filling him with hope and disappointment. The bright white blanket and blue skies of the first snowfall, only to turn a grimy grey the next day, awakened his senses; reminding him that life was larger than him. Without him ever knowing it, the seasons moved his internal clock; the crisp air of fall turning increasing cooler and then winter reminding to turn inward. It was this never-ending cycle from which Hank drew upon for his writing. The city of eternal sunshine and perfect bodies numbed his heart and impeded his pen. It is from great angst that best-selling novels are made. Without the seasons providing cover, angst became personal and Hank’s life began to fall apart.
