Welcome to my new website. Note it has a slightly different URL: hank-quense.com/wp instead of hankquense.com.  (the dash makes all the difference) This site isn’t finished. There is a lot of building still to be done. If you can’t find something you’re looking for, it’ll probably be on my book website: http://strangeworldsonline.com

=================================================================

Award-winning author Hank Quense lives in Bergenfield, NJ with his wife Pat. They have two daughters and five grandchildren. He writes humorous fantasy and scifi stories. On occasion, he also writes an article on fiction writing or book marketing but says that writing nonfiction is like work while writing fiction is fun. He refuses to write serious genre fiction saying there is enough of that on the front page of any daily newspaper and on the evening TV news.

Zaftan Entrepreneurs is Book 1 of the Zaftan Trilogy. In it, an alien mining ship discovers a planet called Gundarland.  It holds promise to be a mining bonanza. Unfortunately, it is inhabited by humans, dwarfs, elves and other races and they object to the mining expeditions.

Zaftan Miscreants is Book 2 of the Zaftan Trilogy.  Now three hundred years later, the gundies and the zaftans face off in deep space.

Hank’s previous works include Tales From Gundarland, a collection of fantasy stories. Readers Favorite awarded the book a medal and EPIC designated it a finalist in its 2011 competition. His Fool’s Gold is a retelling of the ancient Rhinegold myth and Tunnel Vision is a collection of twenty previously published short stories. Build a Better Story is a book of advice for fiction writers.

Altogether, Hank has over forty published short stories and a number of non-fiction articles.

He is presently working on novel that combines the plots and characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Othello with the character Falstaff thrown in for good measure. He is also working on Book 3 of the Zaftan Trilogy and a Camelot spoof (not to be confused with Monte Python’s work)

Besides this country, he has sold stories to publishers in Canada, Ireland, Britain, Australia, France, Ceti Taub, Gundarland and Zaftan 31B
