I have been writing in one form or another for more years than I care to count. On this website you will find a growing collection of my writings. All this is offered as a gift. You will find my recent reflections and travels, my old columns Above Sulfur Creek, and my work on the Higgins World books. I hope it brings you joy!

Higgins World

I have two books finished and available on Amazon. The first is Change is the Only Option. The second book of the series is Change or Chaos. In the meantime, I am working on book three. Because I want you to enjoy reading these stories, I will be posting chapters of the books here. The story has evolved and become a series with book three coming soon and book four building as I hike among the tree here above Sulfur Creek.

Republishing Columns

As a newspaper reporter, I did a weekly column of general observation on nature, raising children, and other personal reflections. I will share some of those with you here.

  I made a transition this week. Sitting in my reading chair, enjoying Katharine Esty’s 2019 book, Eightysomethings, I was inspired. I too needed to make a Transition as she describes in her book.
• So, I am working on Book 3…2024-08-07
  I am not sure where the story is going. I am not sure how I am going to get Megal and Sarita as leaders of the planet, but that is where I am heading. If you have read the first two, let me know. It will encourage me to keep going. After all, at 80, what else do I have to do?

  “Alexander, the conqueror of the world; Julius, invader of Rome and of the world, who was the first to unite dominance in both war and arts within a single person…would not now be remembered, without the aid of books.
