Hank Quense was born and raised in Jersey City NJ.  He attended St Peters Prep high school and Newark College of Engineer where he received a BS in Mechanical Engineering. 

After college he went to work for Western Electric engineering telephone equipment into central offices.  Later, Western Electric was absorbed into AT&T and Hank was transferred to a new sales organization as an account rep serving New York Telephone Company.  He was later promoted to Sales Manager.

In 1996, he took an early retirement offer to become a fiction writer.  His efforts at short story writing led to sales of over 40 short stories.  His first two novels were published by a small indie press.  This experience was so distasteful, he looked into self-publishing, started his own imprint, Strange Worlds Publishing, and self-published more than 20 books, both fiction and non-fiction.

Hank’s short stories and novels are humorous or satiric sci-fi and fantasy.  His non-fiction covers fiction writing, self-publishing, book marketing and author business.

Hank’s newest project is to create a website filled with content based on his years of experience in fiction writing, self-publishing and book marketing.
