H. M. Higgins is an author, farmer, worldbuilder, and lifelong believer that nothing truly exists in isolation.
Drawing inspiration from regenerative agriculture, ecology, mythology, the ocean, and the complicated relationship between people and the environments they depend upon, Higgins creates speculative worlds built around interconnected cultures, ecosystems, histories, and consequences.
His series The World Beneath the Rings grew from a simple question: What if humanity arrived on another world and discovered that the planet was never ours to claim?
From the antlered Eldruhn, whose elemental resonance connects identity and ecology, to the highly intelligent ocean-dwelling Ceralis, Higgins builds civilizations intended to feel as though they existed long before the reader arrived—and will continue long after the final page.
Much of his creative process begins through spoken ideas, extensive outlines, visual worldbuilding, and the gradual weaving together of characters, environments, cultures, and history.
