Biography

Higgins’ first novel Conversations with Spirits was published in 2014, by Unbound[1][2] and Penguin.[3][4]

Conversations with Spirits was nominated for Edinburgh International Book Festival’s ‘First Book Award’[5][6][7] the same year.

Whilst attending the Festival, Higgins debated ‘fiction that blurs reality with illusion’[8] with Canadian novelist Steven Galloway, and performed a ‘séance’≈[6] at the Guardian Spiegeltent,[9] in the guise of his comedy alter ego - ‘psychic thaumaturge’[6][10] - Laars Head.[11]

Higgins became a full member of the Crime Writers’ Association[12] in 2015.

As of 2017, Higgins has co-hosted the 'bad culture podcast' Hello Sh!te,[13] with Marc Green.
