 9 out of 10 cats agree: these books are their pajamas.
Get both books in the DANIEL THE DRAW-ER series today before this hot sale fizzles out. DANIEL THE DRAW-ER starts at .99 on 9/5/15 and will slowly increase to $2.99 on 9/11/15 DANIEL THE CAMP-ER is FREE until 9/11/15 Spread the love and snag your copy for the kids (and kids at heart) in your life.  I've been crazy busy this week with writing and editing two of my short stories for a contest and an upcoming anthology. Both of those short stories are very different from what I usually write. I'm geeked to release them to the public, but it's not time yet. When I finally get the chance to share them with you, I'll post links here. Patience, grasshoppa!
In the meantime, pop on over to my friend (and MOSAIC co-author) Step Gonzaga's blog. Stef asked me some in-depth questions about my creative journey and my advice for budding creatives. Even if you know me well, I bet you'll learn something new. http://stefgonzaga.com/creative-stories-s-j-henderson-writer-author/ Make sure you say hi to Stef--and me, of course. It's been lonely here! Sniff sniff!  To celebrate Amazon's Prime Day, I'm offering the second book in my Middle Grade series for free--for the first time ever! Snatch up a copy for you, the kids in your lives, or your favorite elementary school teacher. And, please, share this post!
The link to DANIEL THE CAMP-ER: www.bit.ly/CAMPDANIEL The link to the both books in the series: www.bit.ly/DTDseries Thanks so much, friends! Guess who's having the best month ever? This girl right here! And why, you might ask? Well, I'm so glad you asked... Not only have I released one book this month (ahem, DANIEL THE CAMP-ER), but it gets even better. I've released TWO BOOKS this month. Please join me in welcoming a Mosaic: a Compilation of Creative Writing to the world!  I can't take all of the credit for this one, though. MOSAIC was a group effort by nine alumni of Joe Bunting's Story Cartel course. I've spoken of the Story Cartel course in the past, but basically it's an online course organized by the founder of The Write Practice. The course focuses on building a community of writers. I was lucky enough to participate in the course twice, and both times I met a number of extremely supportive and dedicated writers I'm so happy to call my Cartel. And even more than that--they're my dear friends. MOSAIC was an idea developed by my friend James Lee Schmidt in order to showcase the varieties of strengths and talents within a particular session of the Story Cartel course. The poetry and prose within Mosaic's pages touch upon every human emotion. I chose to include two pieces I wrote during my time in the Story Cartel course: "Daniel the Draw-er Makes a Friend" and the haunting short story "Bees." Without Story Cartel and the feedback from my course participants, neither of these stories (or my published books) would exist. This is my invitation to you. Stop by Amazon or Smashwords and pick up your copy of MOSAIC, which is absolutely FREE and ready for you to enjoy on the eReader of your choice. If you enjoy it, please let us know... and tell others. Before I go, I'd like to say a few special thanks o the other members of The Collaborative:
Ann: Thank you for the countless hours you spent formatting and playing around with Amazon, Smashwords, and Scrivener. I feel like you were baptized by fire, there. Margie: Thank you for your thoroughness and organization. I'm not sure we could have done it without you. Lee: You are an endless supply of encouragement and marketing links. So lucky to know you. Christy: You have such enthusiasm for this project, and writing in general. I can always count on you to be a cheerleader. Stef: Thanks for all of your hard work on the website. It turned out fantastic. Brian: I've enjoyed getting to know you better during this project. Hope there are more to come in our future. Angie: The cover is amazing, but I had no doubts you would deliver. Thank you for being a friend, mentor, and listening ear. You're awesome! And last but not least, James: Thank you for thinking of me when you pictured this project. You have always been so supportive of me and my writing, and it's been an honor to participate in this project. Until next time... I feel like I'm always apologizing for not keeping you guys up on my news. This time, I don't have a very good excuse. Well, unless you count publishing a book as a good excuse. You might. I do, but I don't really count. In a perfect world I would've created more buzz: giveaways, countdowns, cover reveals, and all that jazz. Shoulda, woulda, coulda... Time just got away from me, and my sanity put limits on how much promo I could manage on my own (hey, wanna be my publicist? #kiddingnotkidding). With or without the proper amount of fanfare, this day has come anyway.  Yes, you read that right. The second book in the DANIEL THE DRAW-ER series is now available for purchase on Amazon. Whether you're a fan of ebooks or the real deal, I've got you covered. Click on the book cover below or the appropriate links to pick up your very own copy of this supremely goofy book. Or, if you prefer, visit my bookstore to order an autographed paperback. And if you live in the U.S., don't forget to enter the giveaway at the bottom of the page. You could win one of several prizes, including an Amazon gift card or copies of my books! Without further ado... Daniel the Camp-er There are a few simple rules Daniel follows. Rule One: never let an adult see your weakness. Daniel made that mistake and look where he ended up—summer camp. Rule Two: never make fun of the person who feeds you, unless you like Miss Gunderson’s peppery pancakes and green hamburgers. Rule Three: stay away from girls who love Glitter Ponies. They have cooties, after all. And Rule Four: never, ever lose your magic pencil. But Daniel has broken all of his own rules. Now he’s stuck and starving at Camp Bigfoot with the school bully as his bunkmate and an ooey-gooey girl who won’t leave him alone. If all of that wasn’t bad enough, his prized possession, a pencil that brings his drawings to life, has gone missing and wacky creatures are popping up all over camp. Can Daniel survive Camp Bigfoot and find his magic pencil before it’s too late? In my next blog post, I'll share an exclusive excerpt in my next blog post on DANIEL THE CAMP-ER. Stay tuned!

After finishing up the second draft of DANIEL 2 and various other writing commitments simmering on the backburners, I needed the break from words and promotion. The break has been good and good for my family during the holidays, but my mind is going crazy. Yep, I miss writing!
Now it's New Year's Eve, and I'm taking the time to look back on my year and make plans for 2015. Most of my plans include bookish things, and I'm very excited to get back into editing and writing and editing some more. Well, I'm kind of excited. Certainly I've mentioned before that editing is not my fave? It'll be exciting to send those books out into the world, though. It'll make my editing nightmares worth it in the end. Anyway, that's another post... Today I've launched a Countdown Deal on Amazon for DANIEL THE DRAW-ER. The Kindle version is normally $2.99, but for the next few days it will be at $.99 and $1.99 respectively. Snag your copy or share with a friend or your child's teacher. Might I also suggest pairing the Kindle version with the audiobook for the emerging reader? Wink, wink. It's just my special way of ringing in the new year. Enjoy, and very best wishes for a magical 2015! And thank you for making my 2014 unforgettable! XOXO! 
Today we're taking a field trip to Krysten Lindsay Hager's blog, where Daniel is pondering (and answering) life's biggest questions. Stop by, say hi, and enter to win a Kindle version or audiobook version of DANIEL THE DRAW-ER!
Pssssst! Today I'm visiting over at Sharon Ledwith's blog, talking about all kinds of weird and funny stuff, as usual. Head on over there and say hi, and enter my giveaway for an ebook or audiobook version of DANIEL THE DRAW-ER. 
Out of the blue, my 10-year-old came home full of questions about my book, the characters, the sequel. And he drew me this:  I've got a happy heart.
