About Mr. Higgins:

In 2014, the authors David Preece and Jim Webber adopted a black Scottish terrier who was a shy, nervous, and somewhat suspicious mid-life rescue dog. 'Mr. Higgins' (the fitting name he came to us with) gradually emerged from his shell and enjoyed his new life in his forever home. Still, on guard with most strangers, Mr. Higgins learned to return love while protecting his home and keeping his dads to their daily routines. Not a fan of pats on the head, 'Higgins' prefers a light touch on his sides and burrowing into a safe space. He loves walks, other dogs, treats, and - as a born outfielder - plays fetch.

Besides being a nationally recognized Urban Planner, David John Preece has had many productions of his award-winning plays and screenplays performed, including Charles Dickens' Ghost Stories, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The House of the Seven Gables, Tender, According To John, Last Gleaming, The Story of Ruth, and The Unicorn from the Stars. His education and training include Weber State University, Western Kentucky University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, HB Studios, Playwrights Horizons, American Conservatory Theatre, and the University of California-Los Angeles.

Jim Webber (co-author) is the co-author of the original holiday musical, Judy's Scary Little Christmas published by Samuel French Plays. He is also an award-winning set designer of over seventy-five community and regional stage productions in New England and directs plays as well. Jim is currently involved in creating and marketing special events for theatre, television and film nonprofits in New Hampshire.
