J. Johnson Higgins

J. Johnson Higgins is the author of Legend of the Dark Messiah series.

J. Johnson Higgins began his writing from a young age. In elementary school he was once asked to write a short myth as an assignment. From that point forward he continued writing short stories about magic and alternate worlds for fun. He continued this process on into his college years.

​

His first novel, The Mask and the Sword, was published in 2007 and reissued in 2010. The novel is largely recognized as a refreshing new take on the fantasy genre that combines an original modern-feeling world with a page-turning political conspiracy nicely woven into the plot. He has since published a sequel, Volume II - A Wicked Storm and has additional publications forthcoming.

 

He is a fantasy and horror author, researcher, and musician holding a PhD and a Master's in Public Policy from University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). He currently lives in Maryland.
