Hank writes because it is fun and challenging.
He started writing in 2019 to pass on some of the family stories to the younger generation. He says it’s easiest to write about his own experiences, but enjoys the challenge of writing a completely fiction piece.

It was the Big Night when there was a mass migration of salamanders to form a gathering called a congress whose sole purpose was mating. Unlike frogs which live in the water, most salamanders are terrestrial, and must abandon their solitary terrestrial existence to migrate to a quiet fresh water stream or pond to find a mate or two or three.”
