Jack Hunter had one job.
Listen to Velton.
He did not.
For nearly fifteen years, filmmaker Jack Hunter has talked almost six days a week with filmmaker and comedian Velton J. Lishke through Facebook Messenger video calls and WhatsApp. Jack lives in the United States. Velton lives in England. They have never met in person, never shared the same room, and never even had the chance to sit across from each other at a table.
Somehow, they became closer than blood brothers.
Velton is the calm British voice of reason. Jack is the American tornado with Wi-Fi. Every time Jack finds himself surrounded by drama, bad decisions, confusing people, creative disasters, emotional chaos, and situations that absolutely should have been avoided, Velton is there with one simple warning:
Jack... don't.
And every time, Jack hears the advice, understands the advice, agrees with the advice... and then does the exact opposite.
DRAMA FREE? I Should Have Just Listened to Velton About Everything is a comedy satire story about brotherhood, bad choices, video-call therapy, international friendship, and the painful truth that sometimes the person who has never physically stood beside you knows you better than the people who have.
Told with sharp humor, ridiculous situations, heartfelt moments, and enough I told you so energy to power a small country, this book is a loving roast of one man's ability to ignore good advice - and a tribute to the friend across the pond who never stopped giving it.
In six months, Jack will probably be laughing.
Because Velton was right.
