CAROL HENRY
Here's a little bit about what I've been up to this year. Check out the other aspects of my writing life, and wander around my site to discover more fun facts. And feel free to email me or join me on Facebook!
Life around the Henry Household is never dull. With my family living close by, you never know who’s going to drop by, call, or have an emergency my husband and I need to deal with. Being flexible, ready at a moment’s notice, and working around our various activities, it’s a blessing to be able to count on each other. We truly work as a team.
Weekends (during the summer) are most often spent in the backyard with friends and family. Picnics are a given, whether it’s relaxing on the deck, kicking back in the gazebo, or running for shelter from the rain and settling inside, we love the company. Thankfully, I love to cook and entertain, and my husband loves
to grill. If you’re in the neighborhood, give a call. I’ll make sure the iced tea is ready. Or coffee if you wish. At Christmas time, there are always cookies available, thanks to the grandgirls!
As Historian for the Town and Village of Candor, I was knee-dee
p in planning and organizing events for the town’s Bicentennial celebration this past year. My history book: Town of Candor – Yesterday and Today; a Bicentennial Celebration Edition, and a limited edition of the Bicentennial Calendar came out in February. They are both still available at the Candor Town Hall, or by contacting me directly. I will be signing books throughout the year at the Candor Historical Society monthly events, which you will find listed on my Historian Page.
Aaahhh, Romance... who doesn’t like a little bit of romance in their lives? My romantic suspense adventure novels come with a bit of adventure in exotic, romantic locations. My first novel, Amazon Connection, continues to sell (digital now for just $2.99!), and is available straight from the publisher (The Wild Rose Press) as a digital or Book in Print. You can download it on any e-reader. It is also available from Amazon.com and their Kindle Store, and even Barnes & Noble Booksellers. Take your pick, but don’t miss the adventures.
It’s been a busy couple of years since Amazon Connection came out, and I’m happy to say that Shanghai Connection will be released May 25, 2012, also from The Wild Rose Press as a digital or Book in Print. Can Rio Connection, Moscow Connection, or Cairo Connection be far behind??? Stay tuned. Check out my Romance Page for more information.
he left), and myself (pictured in the middle), all published with The Wild Rose Press, were on a Channel 13 out of Elmira T.V. talk show to promote our books prior to a book signing at Barnes & Noble in Elmira, NY. A great experience for sure. In the Spring (2011) I drove down to the Bradfield Library in Pennsylvania with author Lisa Hill, where we gave a great talk and signed many books to a very receptive audience. The library even bought our books to keep on their shelves!
I was invited to attend an Author's and Illustrator's Meet and Greet event in February 2011 at Barnes & Noble in Ithaca, NY. It was a great opportunity to meet other authors and illustrators, and discuss the business and craft of writing. And, the people at the store are fantastic to work with, too. Especially Liz Hudson, their Community Relations Manager. Michelle at the Barnes and Nobles in Elmira, and Lu in Vestal, have also been fantastic to work wiht on all of my book signings for both my romance novels and history books. Having such wonderful and encouraging people like them to help promote my books has only added to the success I've experienced since my books hit the stands. But, as I said above, I’m not ‘resting on my 'laurels’ after having had a great year in 2010 and into 2011 on the ‘book-signing’ circuit. The next in the ‘Connection’ series -- Shanghai Connection will be here before we know it.
I am stepping down as President of my local Romance Writers of America® Chapter – Southern Tier Authors of Romance (STAR), and will serve as an ex-officio officer this year. This should give me plenty of time to concentrate on my writing projects. Still, STAR has a busy year ahead. I will be presenting a program on Setting Goals. You can check out STAR’s website to learn more: www.starrwa.org. I am President and co-founder of a local multi-genre writing group called Write Now, who meet monthly.
