She sold copies of the book, that she also illustrated herself, door to door at five bucks a copy. The first book she wrote was finished when she was five years old, and was called “The Day the Whole Class got the Chickenpox”. She lives in the state of Virginia with her husband (who is a veterinarian), son, their dog (who is named Rue), and daughter. Higgins says that the novel bombarded her brain and it was brought on by missing being around the teenagers that she used to teach. She would tweak the novel after that, with help from a website to help writers get critiques from fellow writers, and make it something that fans would want to read and an all around better novel. Higgins wrote the novel longhand in this short time. Then she became a stay at home mother, which is when she started to work on her first novel (“Sweet Evil”), that she wrote over the course of seven weeks. Higgins would later get her act together and get her master’s, once she met her husband, after which she started teaching high school (freshman and seniors) English, a job that she did for two years.

Getting her Bachelor’s took seven years due to dropping out so that she could be a flight attendant and so she could waitress.

She has her bachelor’s degree that she got from George Mason University in Creative Writing and a master’s degree from Radford University in Curriculum and Instruction. Higgins was born in Anchorage, Alaska, and graduated high school from Potomac Senior High School in the state of Virginia. Her work is from the romance, fantasy, paranormal, and young adult genres. Author Wendy Higgins is a bestselling (USA Today and New York Times) writer of “The Great Hunt” novels, “Sweet Evil” series, and “See Me” series (which is an Irish fantasy series that she self-published).
