Hello, my name is Henry H. Neff and I'm the author/illustrator of THE TAPESTRY, a contemporary fantasy fiction series.  Welcome to the website and thanks for visiting.

UPDATES:Redo

  • Ever wanted to look after a magical creature?  Have you ever wondered what kind of bedroom you might configure at Rowan Academy?  Fancy yourself a Tapestry trivia expert?  Soon you'll be able to do all these things and a great deal more when a new website is launched in late July, 2008.  I'm working away on drawings, character guides, and all sorts of other goodies that will comprise the content of a new and improved website.  Between that project and writing Book 3, I'll be a busy boy this summer....
  • Book II is finished!  You can catch a sneak preview of the drawingsin the Illustrations galleries.  I hope you enjoy them.   The Second Siege will be in stores September 23, 2008 and you can catch a glimpse of the cover  or pre-order your copy at Random House.  I am very excited about the book--the stakes are big, the pace is fast, and the scale is sweeping.  Between Astaroth, Bellagrog, and Dr. Rasmussen, I can promise some interesting new characters....
  • I've been visiting lots of schools, both in California and elsewhere in the United States, and am consistently impressed by the questions, comments, and observations made by young people.  Special thanks to those students, teachers, and parents for the thoughtful cards, signs, and thank you notes.  They are very much appreciated.
  • Thanks also to those fans who have written me via the 'Contact Author' link on this website.  Lest you believe that your emails disappear into the void, let me assure you they do not.  I love to hear from readers--children and adults alike--and promise that I read and respond to every email.  A nice note can make my day, so please keep them coming!
