Carl Henegan

About

Born and raised in Houston Texas, Carl Henegan had spent his early years writing poetry and short stories for self entertainment. With the encouragement of a high school English teacher he maintained his love for writing and soon took several attempts at longer poems and books. He vividly remembers the first time he was captured by the writings of authors like Allan Folsom, Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, Lee Child and even the likes of Dickens, Shakespeare and Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The works not only influenced his love for reading but inspired him to find his own voice. As he began to write the words poured out of his head an on to paper instantly. A deep love for writing was born.

Carl left Houston in 1986 to enter the military serving the majority of his term in Washington State. He studied at Gonzaga and drew from these early experiences which surfaced in his writing. The rich characters and scenes vividly painted by words were loosely based on real life people and experiences.

He worked in electronics for a period of time but could not escape the allure of story writing. After the desire to test his craft he quickly began his research to become a novelist. He began by reading the greats every chance he had. From classical literature to contemporary novels, Carl's love of the art became uncontrollable. Carl soon began placing his own novels in manuscript form and has never stopped.

Carl left Gonzaga before earning his degree. He eventually moved to Dallas, where he continued to study people, and listen to their stories. "I could see and meet everyday people and instantly develop an extraordinary story around them", he recalls. Carl then began writing articles for several online magazines. Several sports and business articles were published and emerged in online magazines all over the country.

You kept the reader in suspense as each page is turned,the reader is waiting to see what takes place next in anticipation. I like the way the chapters go from scene-to-scene in order not bore the reader. The ending was a complete surprise for me which I think is fantastic.
