L. Flick Hatcher

L. Flick Hatcher (Col ’77 CM) has published his second novel, Romancing Normal, with Bookbaby Press. A work of fiction that is alternately light-hearted and heart-breaking, the story follows Drew Carter’s quest to date gay away by finding the woman who so captivates his heart that his lust  for men is obliterated, leaving him free to fulfill “The Plan”: a great job, beautiful wife, 2.5 kids, white picket fence and Ford Country Squire station wagon. Maybe a pony. Set primarily at a fictionalized University of Virginia, the story follows Drew from straight to gay to grey. He discovers the joy of living authentically, fulfilling a plan even greater than he’d hoped for, proving that nice guys don’t finish last.
