Tap for Additional Information - Billion Dollar Rainmaker, Part 1
Story Line
Like the lost Angelinos who sprang to life in his imagination, George Hatcher grew out of the competitive barrios or East Los Angeles and lived at least two lifetimes before his twentieth birthday.

As a fresh ten-year old bilingual boy fresh off the bus in Los Angeles, he introduces his Spanish-speaking mother to the man who will become his stepfather. He chases business and girls and falls so passionately in love that he marries three times in his first two decades. He lives by one truth: he doesn’t settle.

Thanks to the adventurous heart of a gambler, a gift of gab, and an uncanny ability to reinvent himself time and time again, Hatcher climbs the ladder with dubious success, falling back time and time again, but always fighting his way onward and upward.

Part one of Billion Dollar Rainmaker is a fascinating memoir of a boy finding his way through the first half of the sixties. Parts two and three are in development.

The wild ride continues as Pepe’s real self is revealed, and Mario meets yet another woman who will change everything. Who is Lola and what secrets is she hiding? Mario still knows nothing of the mysterious business that his fiancee Olga and Camila are into. Gunfire and Molotov cocktails abound in this romp that cruises into the wild and crazy nineties.

Unable to resist a new challenge, Mario takes on the world of big business. Accepting the position offered by his fiancee Olga Camacho and her sister Camila, Mario takes charge of Global Aviation Leasing, and steps into the chasm left by Pepe Camacho’s death. Dark family secrets tar Mario’s memory of Pepe and color the surprising circumstances of his death. As GAL’s CEO, Mario moves to Rome, but the trouble that has followed him is not far behind.

International jet-setter Mario Luna is a man who has everything, but his glam life comes at a cost. He is haunted by an elusive stalker whose identity has stumped the police and the FBI for years. Burning mansions, car chases, international travel, wild sexual adventures and even a hijacking keep the pace hopping. Everything changes after Mario’s rendezvous with a charming stranger who is not who she pretends to be.

What does Olga’s private eye, Mason, have to say about the exotic stranger Mario has brought into the fold? Is she a viper out for blood or the victim of a conspiracy? Will Mario ever find the puppeteer pulling the strings behind all the threats to his life?

George Hatcher’s seventh book is a provocative maze of dark secrets, and the machinations of a wily and duplicitous agent who sniffs out the truth of a killer.

Story Line

It's the swinging seventies. Free love has swept across California, and gangs are wrangling their share of the East LA pie. Political correctness does not exist. Mario Luna is not only up to his neck in hip, hot California girls; he has pulled out all the stops, and is well on the way to becoming the top ambulance chaser in the county. At least, that's the way it looks until his life turns upside down. Mario's line of work could be making him a little paranoid. At first he thinks someone is following him, then the bodies start dropping. Is a gang thug out of his past after him, or a rival ambulance chaser, or even a rival law firm? Who wants Mario out of the way--and why?

Story Line

Mario is a bildungsroman, a young adult coming of age story. Mario Luna is a young man growing up in the East Los Angeles of the sixties. He lives with his aunt across from Hollenbeck Park, but this is not your run-of-the mill story. His aunt once stole a million dollars; his best friend is a murderer; his best girl is a hooker; and as for Mario, he leads an interesting life.

This is the journey of a young man of dubious opportunity and unlimited potential. Even in 1959 he wrestles with the same issues as many young people today—how to get pocket money; how to cover up when things at home aren’t exactly what society would like; how to make it through the day/week/month without getting sucked into a gang or killed. The deck might be stacked against him, but Mario doesn’t know it. He's no genius, and hates school with a passion. People think he's a con man, but he's got a gift. The question is how will he use it?

Story Line

Nogales was a small, sleepy town split by the border. Sonora and Arizona, side by side, surrounded by desert, with not much to recommend it but the people. A little mining, a little manufacturing, a few sales to the tourists, a couple of pesos or dollars handed over to a few nearsighted border officials, a little drinking on Saturday night, a little prayer and confession on Sunday morning—it was not a bad life, as long as the residents managed to steer clear of the Sanchez family.

Running an organization that is not quite a gang, not quite a mob, not quite an old crillo family, the Sanchez hacendado is happy as long as the liquor sales are good, the bordellos are flourishing, and he makes a few pennies of every dollar that exchanges hands. The only problem is that pesky midwife Maria and her two very interesting daughters.
