Rick Higginson
Rick Higginson has always had an overactive imagination, so it was only natural he would gravitate towards writing as a creative outlet. Advised by a professional writer about the difficulties of making a living at it, he chose instead a career in electronics. He wrote his first novel-length manuscript, The Eridanus Dream, in 1987 on an ancient manual typewriter. He didn't write another novel until Cardan's Pod in 2004, but now has eight completed manuscripts and a ninth in work.
Rick has been happily married to Nancy since 1980, and together they raised two terrific kids. They currently live in Tucson, Arizona, with four dogs, two cats, a bird, a snake, and countless geckos that hang out in the summer around their porch lights. Rick and Nancy are currently between congregations, but most recently belonged to a Messianic Congregation, where they developed a deep love and appreciation for the Jewish foundations of the Christian faith.
