Biography

About P.G. Henck

P.G. Henck has written several science fiction and fantasy stories with more on the way. His first novel, ‘Beyond The Providers’, was self published in 2019 after many years in development. His next two novels, ‘Elementary Science 101’ and ‘Elementary Science 201’, entered the humorous side of science fiction, where many of his works now reside. The ‘Deep Space Rescue 911’ series has begun with two novellas, and may end with a novel in order to complete the whole story. The ‘Captain Mike’ series will eventually consist of three novellas, each with a different set of circumstances and characters, except for Captain Mike of course. Both series are comedies and follow P.G.’s favorite storyline of an unusual group of individuals making their way through space. The published short stories ‘Distant Neighbors’ and ‘Alien Vacation Invasion’ had parts inspired by real events, which P.G. thinks can be pretty funny in themselves at times. The next short story, ‘Bigfoot Dance Party’, relies on characters from ‘Elementary Science 201’. Being published in the fall of 2021 are the fantasy / science fiction novellas ‘Bring it Alien B’ and ‘Super Absorption’. Both go for the funny bone as well as presenting new interesting characters. Additional short stories and novellas are planned in the next few years along with another novel called Time Minds, which is expected to give readers a heavy dose of fictionalized history made possible through science fiction.

P.G. Henck was born in Michigan, and lived in the Great Lakes region for a good part of his life with his wife, the girl next door. The couple then moved to southern Utah to experience the spectacular scenery and endless trails it provides. Though he spent most of his career as an accountant and financial administrator, P.G. Henck’s outside interest lay heavily in the sciences, space exploration, and history. Also a lover of science fiction and fantasy over the years, he has gone out of his way to see every movie and TV show available, both good and bad. His many other interests besides writing include hiking, travel, photography, and website development, along with designing and producing his own book covers.

Smashwords Interview

Do you consider yourself a Science Fiction / Fantasy author?
Yes and no. All of my books have Science Fiction / Fantasy-based locations and themes, and so will my future stories. But that’s about as far as it goes. I don’t attempt to adhere to any genre rules or conventions. I add humor, romance, reflection, and action as my characters seem to dictate. With my first novel, Beyond the Providers, at times it felt more like I was channeling a story from some real beings out there somewhere that needed to be told. The same goes for my first novella Deep Space Rescue 911, except these characters by their very nature are a lot funnier.
In Beyond the Providers where is the apocalyptic disaster that most futuristic works go through to achieve utopia?
This was not an oversight, it was intentional. An ongoing theme in Beyond the Providers is that humankind has had a guiding hand helping it over the years. I’m no psychic, just an author, but from everything that has occurred in just the last 75 years, it is hard to believe that we haven’t blown ourselves up yet. Call it luck, outside intervention, or skillful sacrifice by individuals. But whatever it was, it’s not beyond belief to hope it lasts until we achieve what was depicted in the 25th century.
