Henry Herz writes fantasy and science fiction stories for children, aided in this noble endeavor by his two young sons, Josh and Harrison. Henry is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI). He also writes for the San Diego Children’s Books Examiner, The Write Life, and The San Francisco Book Review. Henry has spoken about self-publishing at the SDSU Writer’s Conference, the SCBWI San Diego chapter, and the Canyon Crest Academy Writers Conference. He has moderated speculative fiction panels at the San Diego Comicfest, ConDor, and WonderCon conventions. Artwork by Josh appeared in the Mar/Apr and Jul/Aug 2014 issues of Cicada Magazine.
Like their father, both boys are big fans of fantasy, science fiction, and the annual San Diego Comic-Con convention. They have an entrepreneurial bent too. They’ve started three web-based businesses selling LEGO party favors, custom cast bases for Warhammer, and painted concrete yard sculptures. Their efforts have been featured on Young Entrepreneur Magazine, Wired GeekDad, CNN iReport, TheOneRing.net, and the Warner Brothers’ website for The Hobbit movie.
The writing trio’s first book, Nimpentoad, is a stunningly illustrated high fantasy early chapter book. It has earned over 80 Amazon 5-star ratings to date. They are (distant) relatives of Madeleine L’Engle, whose book A Wrinkle in Time was ranked #3 on the top 100 children’s books of all time by Scholastic’s Parent & Child Magazine. Writing must be in the DNA!
