His controversial, comic novels, printed in multiple languages, include "Househusband," "Southern Living," "All This Belongs to Me," and most recently, "Man of the House." Before writing fiction, Hudler was an award-winning writer fro metro newspapers and national magazines. He says of his books, "Most of my material is pure journalism, masquerading as fiction."
