I was named Henry J. LeGrand lll -- but Hank is what I am mostly known by. I grew up out in the country along with six sisters and two brothers. Stories were a big part of my life growing-up and--with that many siblings--there was never a shortage of imaginative-storytelling, book readings, or just simply being an avid listener. Every day was a wonderful learning experience with my family, and an experience that will stay in my head and heart forever I attended St. Mary's Elementary School in Herman, Pa. then went on to the local high school. I enlisted in the military in 1969, and was honorably discharged in 1971 from the United States Army's infantry division. I'm a Vietnam Veteran.I’ve always had room in my head for daydreaming--actually a lot of room. I enjoy seeing my thoughts take form on paper, and I get a great deal of satisfaction inventing all the different characters. But, the best part of writing--to me—is watching in amazement as the characters begin to emerge as they are blended into the story. I presently work at AK Steel's Butler works--in the Environmental Department. Interests: I like camping, inventing, drawing, and especially writing fiction stories for children and young adults. I also enjoy riding my Jet Ski, motorcycle, and working around my home--which keeps me more than occupied. Please, also, visit my website--to see pictures of Paddle Tail and me at some of our events. My first novel titled, RAMPAGE, can now be ordered in paperback / eBook at Write Words Inc. www.writewordsinc.com, Amazon, Barns & Noble etc. All of my children's stories in print / eBook are in Amazon's bookstore. To find a title on Amazon simply type in the ASIN or ISBN number, http://www.amazon.com/author/hanklegrand or my name to search books. You can also copy and paste into your browser. They can also be downloaded on your PC. The link for the PC download is listed on the Amazon KDP site. I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I did writing.
