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.

Description

<p>FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES<br /><br />At barely nineteen, Angelica Donovan became one of the more successful winners of the T.V. show Our Next Super Model. The world assumed she was destined for a happy, fairy tale life as ‘Angel,’ the beautiful girl who was living the dream; sadly, that wasn’t to be the case. As the years passed, she flashed her million dollar smile to all her fans and fought to stay on top in a profession where you never knew who it was safe to trust while the fashion industry took big bites out of her heart and soul. And trust was a constant challenge for Angel due to the painful childhood secret she guarded as carefully as she did her heart. As a result, she never did find her true love on earth.<br /><br />When she wakes up ‘dead’ from a heart condition a month before her thirty-fifth birthday, Angel is at first relieved to find there is no death, just a change of state, like ice to water, and then she’s scared because her biggest and most important adventure is about to begin.<br /><br />Angelica is chosen to be an angel in training as a spirit guide for three souls on earth! Her assignment is to help two women to gain the courage and confidence to find, recognize and embrace the love that had eluded Angel in life. But her biggest challenge will be to save a very special little girl from the same evil experience that had poisoned Angel’s own earthly happiness and altered the course of her life.<br /><br />Will Angel be able to heal her own shattered soul in the process? And will the three souls she is guiding be able to recognize her, not as a ghostly threat, but as one of those ‘friends in high places’ we all have; the kind who often end up earning their wings.<br /><br /> </p>
