My pen name is H. H. Laura. I chose it to honor three strong women who have been an influence in my life. Hazel, my grandmother, the kindest most persevering woman I have ever known. She had the softest skin, the best freckles, and the greatest recipes. Helen, my mother, who never speaks an unkind word about anyone; she's quite a woman. Laura, my husband's mother, to whom I shall be forever grateful for raising such a wonderful son. These women have been an inspiration not only in my daily life, but also in the creation of my characters. Know that the best of my Sensates were patterned after them.
Always remember, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should."
