Biography

Angela Henderson is the author of 4 books, UnStoppable and Five friends one Dream.   Angela is a fantasy and inspirational author whose stories illuminate the power of perseverance, hope, and imagination. Drawing from both her professional expertise and her life’s journey, she writes to inspire others to see that no dream is too distant and no challenge too great when faith and determination are allowed to flourish. Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, and raised in the vibrant community of Clarksdale, Mississippi, Angela now resides in Wynne, Arkansas, with her husband of twenty-one years, Bryan Henderson. Together, they share a home filled with love, laughter, and purpose alongside their three adult daughters—one of whom is a special needs adult who continues to inspire Angela’s advocacy and creativity each and every day. A proud graduate of Purdue University, Angela earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Paralegal Studies with a Concentration in Family Law in June 2011, followed by a Master’s Degree in Legal Studies in May 2013. Her academic background has shaped her disciplined approach to writing, while her certification in Human Research reflects her deep curiosity about people, behavior, and the complexities of the human spirit. Angela’s writing journey began with short stories and legal documents, but her heart has always been drawn to storytelling that uplifts and empowers. Through her fantasy and inspirational works, she aims to build worlds where courage is rewarded, compassion conquers fear, and even the most unlikely heroes can rise. Her words serve not only as creative expression but also as a beacon for readers navigating their own challenges. Beyond her writing, Angela is a passionate advocate for the special needs community. Her mission is to be a voice where there is none—to show society that individuals with special needs possess extraordinary strength, wisdom, and potential. She believes that with support, understanding, and belief in one’s own worth, anything is possible. When she’s not writing, Angela finds peace and inspiration in the beauty of classical music, often drawing creative energy from the works of Mozart, Beethoven, and Shakespeare. She also treasures spending time with family and friends, believing that love, laughter, and connection are the true sources of joy. Through her life and her writing, Angela Henderson continues to inspire readers and advocates alike to dream boldly, fight fiercely, and never lose sight of what makes each person extraordinary.  In addition to writing, they enjoy spending time on their other passions and interests.

Other Information

Before the Music was written from a place of deep passion and purpose. Jammie’s story represents the quiet battles so many people face—battles that often go unseen but are filled with courage.

I wanted to create a character who embodies perseverance in its purest form. Someone who struggles, who falls, but continues to rise—not because it’s easy, but because giving up is not an option.

This story is about more than music. It’s about identity, determination, and the power of believing in yourself even when the world feels uncertain. My hope is that readers see a piece of themselves in Jammie and are reminded that their voice—no matter how difficult it may be to find—matters.
