H.H. plainly enjoys composing plausible (and implausible) biographies for his characters-not to mention for himself. In \u003ci\u003eContemporary Authors\u003c\/i\u003e, H.H. composed a bio for his pseudonym Robert Dietrich, taking ten years off his age, putting himself in the infantry during Korea, awarding himself a Bronze Star and a degree from Georgetown.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e E.
