“Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.” G.K. Chesterton

“All in all, (Maye’s Request) is an uneasy reunion of an unorthodox family, further complicated by a shocking adolescent secret that Jake has been keeping from Jen for decades.”

– Richard LaBonte, Book Marks

“(In Maye’s Request) Clifford Henderson takes the reader on a frightening journey of physical, emotional and spiritual illness to a place of love, enlightenment, healing and forgiveness.”

– Sam Martino, Out in Jersey

“(Henderson’s) writing gives you the sense that her muse was not only visiting, but had moved in.

– Sam Martino, Out in Jersey

“Henderson grabs her readers in a firm grip and never lets go. The Middle of Somewhere is a wonderful laugh-out-loud read filled with pathos, hope, and new beginnings.”

– RLynne, Just About Write

“Spanky, the narrator of this delicious novel, [Spanking New], is an unborn baby who can flit from one character’s thoughts and emotions to another’s – a storytelling perspective that, from a less able author, might have come off as a diaper-load of a gimmick. …Already a “best” of 2010.”

– Richard LaBonte, Book Marks

“While the author addresses serious issues, [Spanking New] is fun, fun, fun!  The playfulness, curiosity and fresh naivety as portrayed through the eyes of the storyteller is refreshing and often humorous.   It is pure genius on Henderson’s part to write from this perspective.”

– Anita Kelly, LGBT Coordinator, Muhlenberg College

“Funny and touching, this story held my interest and kept me turning the pages.  Ms Henderson’s novel is brilliantly written and full of delightful observation. It would make a wonderful movie in the style of ‘Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’.”
