Relative of Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier. World traveler. Award winning author. As a native of Chicago, Illinois, Dennis Higgins has a passion for things that are gone but not forgotten, a romance with the past. Quote: I once had a passionate affair with an Irish lass back in 1871 Chicago. I broke her heart. It just wasn't our time. He now lived in the Chicago suburbs with his lovely wife, a dog and a couple birds. Among his influences are: Richard Matheson, Jack Finny, Dean Koontz, Joan Wester Anderson, Peter S. Beagle and Audrey Neffenegger. Author of the Time Pilgrim series: Katya and Cyrus, Almost Yesterday and Tomorrow's Borrowed Trouble from Whiskey Creek Press. Also my indie books, Parallel Roads (Lost on Route 66) and Steampunk Alice.
