“Mix one cup humor, two cups homage to the 80s, and three cups imagination run wild and you get Randy Henderson’s debut novel Finn Fancy Necromancy” – Ken Scholes, author of the Psalms of Isaak series
“Genre fans looking for a fix will enjoy the gleefully ghoulish setting and engaging, suspenseful plot.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Strictly speaking, it’s an urban fantasy, one that takes place in and around present-day Seattle. But… it counterbalances that darkness with something that’s become increasingly rare in fantasy fiction: laughs, laughs, and more laughs.” – NPR
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Writer ✦ Fan ✦ Advocate
What I write is rooted in my deep love for those fantasy books, games, and shows I grew up with, that offered me escape in hard times to worlds full of magic and wonder, mystery and adventure, love and friendship, while expanding my understanding of our world—and of myself.
My resulting stories often reflect themes of finding family, finding yourself, questioning harmful beliefs, and the healing power of love and compassion.
Also, lots of jokes.
Mostly, though, I’m just here trying to add my share of magic and laughter into the world, both through my fiction, and sharing my experience (thus far) as an author, hoping it finds its way to whoever needs it.
