Welcome  PS…I, LH have some questions for you 😉

LH: I wanted to be a ballerina, race car driver and a private detective when I was little. What did you want to be when you grew up?

PS: A veterinarian, an anthropologist, an artist, a ring leader and oh yeah, a writer.

LH: I didn’t really have a literary influence, I just decided one day to start writing. Who influenced you in your writing career?

PS: As a child, I would just write. I can’t remember any single influence either but as I grew older, I was drawn to every genre of reading from Stephen King to Shakespeare. I wrote…
