The road...

  "  ...some miles ahead along this benighted road were people she knew and loved with a mutual affection. Wherever she had been, she was going home. She didn’t know if the prospect made her happy or sad, but upon reflection, it satisfied her longing soul."  - from The Winged Child Henry's books .

The Winged Child , a novel coming February 2022. Yes, there be dragons in it. "Millicent McTeer saw the dragon for the first time on her twelfth birthday. Once she had seen, it was impossible to unsee, so Millicent encountered the entity repeatedly after that, in various hues and shapes, amid all sorts of wild and unforeseen circumstances. Millicent had read about dragons, of course, but assumed they only inhabited screens and paper. She was not looking for dragons on that spring morning at her family’s cabin in the mountains above Asheton. It didn’t occur to her until much later that the dragon may have been looking for her."   - from The Winged Child   Henry's books .

This time next year...

Editor and I have both survived the first round of edits on The Winged Child. We remain on good terms and it still looks like my book. I begin to be hopeful that all involved will come through the storm intact. The process of bringing a book to publication really is a sort of storm, a gathering of sometimes opposing energies that rises to a spectacular and not altogether painless release. The whole idea is to make a big splash while hanging on to one's soul. February 15, 2022 is the Big Day. We have a whole year ahead to get it right. You are invited to come along and see how we manage.   Henry's books .
