Dave Henderson: Author, Life Coach, and Advocate for Love Hi, I'm Dave, and I've always believed that love is at the core of everything we do. Growing up in Baltimore, Maryland, I had a loving upbringing, but like many, I often felt like an outsider because of my sexuality. That feeling of being different shaped me into who I am today. It inspired my passion for helping others embrace self-love, acceptance, and resilience-both in life and in my writing. My journey has been an interesting one. Straight out of high school, I joined the US Army, which gave me a disciplined approach to life. But it wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered my true calling: writing. Since then, I've poured my heart into creating poetry, self-help, and romance novels that reflect what I care about most-love in all its forms.

I've been blessed with my own 35-year-long love story with my husband, which inspires much of my work. For me, every love story deserves a little magic, and my goal is to sweep readers off their feet with every page. As a life coach for over a decade, I've had the privilege of helping people discover their own greatness, and that's what I aim to do through my stories as well. Whether it's through characters learning to love themselves or navigating life's challenges, my writing is about showing that we're all worthy of a beautiful, fulfilling love story. These days, I live in Oregon with my amazing husband and two wonderful German Shepherds. Along with my sister we take care of our mother as she battles cancer. Life may be full, but so is my heart, and I'm grateful to share my journey-both personal and professional-with all of you. Thank you for being here.
