My books are like water; those of the great geniuses are wine. (Fortunately) everybody drinks water.--- Mark Twain
Greetings!
Welcome to the website of author Gary Henicke- (last name pronounced HENNA-key). I specialize in writing realistic fiction; both historical and contemporary. I am blessed to have an overdeveloped imagination! I often get ideas for stories from my dreams.
Some of my favorite authors are Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, Charles Dickens, H.G. Wells, Stephen King, Rod Serling, Richard Matheson (writer on Twilight Zone, also wrote I am Legend), and Earl Hamner (best known for "The Waltons").
The way I got into writing is a story in itself. I wrote several manuscripts and they sat in a file cabinet for almost twenty years. I really never tried to get them published. In May 2012 I published Island Unknown via Amazon. I also finished a manuscript and wrote a new one that summer. I wasn't sure if I would be able to get back into writing, but the fire is still there!
I try to not write in a particular genre. In these times of mega novel series, I think it's important to value the short stories, novelettes, and novellas. A great story doesn't have be a book the size of a dictionary. The story can stand on its own and not have to be a trilogy or a series. I think what sets me apart from a lot of authors is variety. I don't write trilogies or series. I'd rather challenge myself to NOT write similar stories.
If you want a good story at a really great price try my books.
Advertising is expensive and I believe a referral from a friend works best. Please help me get the word out about my stories.
From my imagination to yours,
Gary Henicke
