talked about our ideals in a Hero, sort of “wish list” qualities. One thing led to another, and the ideas were flying so fast that I ended up with plans for four books by the time we came home from that trip. I decided there was just no other way to tell the story in anything less than four books and ended up with a total of six stories and counting. I have always found inspiration all around me, and I would have to say that pretty much anything interesting that I see or hear winds up coming through my fingers in some way, shape, or form. What are you working on next that you can tell us about?
dahenneman.com Uncaged welcomes D.A. Henneman Welcome to Uncaged! You’ve recently re-released your series, The Power of Four. Can you tell readers more about this series? Are you planning on continuing this series or is it complete? Thank you for having me, I am excited to be here! Yes, I decided before launching the final book in my Power of Four series, that a relaunch was something I needed to do. Sea of Dreams was my debut, and I am a different writer now, so I felt it was important to tighten up Book 1. I also went through some author rebranding, so decided it would be a good idea to have all of the covers updated as well. The series is complete, including a prequel, and a novelette which I give away free to my newsletter subscribers. That’s not to say I won’t ever write in this world again though, I loved all these characters and could be easily tempted to write a few more things. I may have left a little space for future stories or perhaps even a spin-off series… only time will tell. What gives you inspiration for your stories? My first series was inspired by one of my annual girls’ trips, of all things. I had been thinking long and hard about writing a book, and during a chat over drinks we
I am currently working on two projects that I am trying to give equal time to. The first is a paranormal mystery series based loosely on my time as a flower shop owner in a small town. The owner helps customers, living and dead, solve mysteries that come their way. I describe it as a cross between Practical Magic and Ghost Whisperer, and I am having a blast writing it! I am currently querying that series with the hopes of publishing traditionally. The other project is my Goddesses In Love series, which I will be indie publishing as the books are completed. Book 1, Love For All Seasons, is out now and is my take on the Hades and Persephone myth. It features the goddess of witchcraft, Hecate, and the messenger of the gods, Hermes, who can’t help but dabble in Hades’ love life. It was just launched and can be found on all the places that carry my fantasy series. Book 2 features Medusa, and I am working on her happily-ever-after now. So many fun twists in this story, I can’t wait to share! What are you looking forward to doing when the pandemic is over that you haven’t been able to do? Travel!!! I have missed book signings, in-person conferences, and relaxing on the beach with a good book. As things open up, I am trying to squeeze some of those things in, but I would imagine it won’t be until sometime next year that I am back to my regular schedule. Believe it or not, it is hard to write without getting out and experiencing things. I Issue 57 | April 2021 | 47
