About dph

After 20 years of working as an assistant director and stage manager of multiple stage productions, and partaking in music, voice, and art, it was only logical that D. Perdue Henderson would become a novelist too. Her interest in character development and Why People Do What They Do, piqued her interest in psychology, sociology, and theology at a young age. After taking classes in these areas, it gave her the perspective she needed to write about the more difficult subjects, but in a way that is sensitive, yet entertaining. Every story captivates!

Her first novel Branded (Amazon, 2010) is a suspense thriller about a kidnapped child and lost innocence. Her second novel Hayden Heyer and the Twin Guardians (Twin Guardian Publishing, 2012) is a fantasy romance with Christian themes, about a teen who is blessed by God and what that blessing means. Book 2 in the series is called, Hayden Heyer Trials and Tribulations (Twin Guardian Publishing, 2015) about how to deal with insecurity and fear, while dodging evil. Book 3 in the series is called, Hayden Heyer at Radcliff Manor (Twin Guardian Publishing, 2017) about testing love and strengthening our God given gifts.
