About Me

My name is Hyrum Stone.  This is not actually my real name; it is my pen name.  I chose to go by the name Hyrum Stone because Hyrum Smith is one of my biggest heroes.  He stood by his brother even when they faced death.  The name Hyrum to me means loyalty and I think that is one of the most important characteristics to develop.  I would like to be known as a loyal friend who always did what he knew was right just like Hyrum Smith.
My last name I chose because of the phrase "written in stone".  I have always wanted to be a writer.  I have always wanted to write something that people would be inspired by and uplifted by.  One of my dreams is to write a book that would help people find hope in life.  I chose Stone because once something is writen in stone it is final, it's unchangeable, and it can change people.
