Growing up, Henry worked at the usual range of menial jobs -- from grocery store bag boy to pizza delivery to retail sales -- before ending up in software development. In between the menial jobs and the IT jobs, he achieved some small fame as the writer and co-creator of the small press comic book titles Southern Knights and X-Thieves, as well as becoming the first comic book professional online. For the past ten years, Henry has also taken up the mantle of professional storyteller, performs regularly throughout the state of North Carolina, and has released an illustrated book of children's stories.

​​​​​​​Henry has been a fan of science fiction for as long as he can remember. He loved space opera and planetary romance from the beginning, which is why his science fiction novels end up in those subgenres. Henry currently lives in Raleigh, NC, with his wife, son, one cat, and lots of imaginary friends all clamoring to tell him of their adventures.
