ERIC C. HIGGS
Author biography:
Eric C. Higgs was born in Sarasota, Florida, but raised throughout the United States, Japan and Europe, his father being a career Army officer. Eric’s early education was received in such diverse venues as a small military schoolhouse in Okinawa and a boarding school in Switzerland.
After graduating from the University of Georgia, Eric worked as a general assignment reporter for the Aiken Standard & Review, Aiken, South Carolina, and then enlisted in the Navy. Eric served throughout the Pacific during his active duty Navy days and became qualified as a Surface Warfare Officer and Combatant Craft Officer-in-Charge.
Eric then affiliated with the Naval Reserve, and worked full time in the aerospace industry, first for General Dynamics and then Lockheed. It was during this time that Eric wrote and published PT Commander (Zebra Books), Doppelganger (St. Martin’s Press) and The Happy Man (St. Martin’s Press). Eric is a member of the Writers Guild of America (West).
Eric also realized his long-term goal of launching a full-time freelance writing business, specializing in proposals; business plans; résumés; technical documents; various types of marketing materials; and industrial video scripts.
As a Naval Reservist, Eric served in a variety of positions in the special warfare community, eventually being named as the Reserve Commanding Officer of Special Boat Unit Thirteen. Eric retired from the Reserves with the rank of Commander.
Eric and his wife Elaine recently celebrated their forty-second wedding anniversary. They have three grown children, and reside in Imperial Beach, California, where Eric is, as ever, sublimely happy.
