Art Inspired by E&L!





















This is a wonderful depiction of a scene from chapter two of Awakening! Painted by Mike Vanklavaren and Jessie Carrol.
"One of the favorite memories of all that both Ethan and Eisley shared with their parents was the numerous nights spent around the fire singing songs and dancing together."

Status of Book Two and such...

I am deep into the adventure of Stirring, the second installment of The Emblem and The Lantern, having completed eighteen chapters and presently working through the next. As with Awakening the new book has taken many turns that I as the author didn't initially intend. Its funny to say but sometimes I feel like I'm reading the book rather than writing it! I suppose that's how inspiration works sometimes. When I began the Stirring I didn't have as clear an idea of how many chapters it would contain unlike with the first book. Now that I'm nearly twenty chapters in I can confidently say that I'll top thirty, making it at least a fourth longer than part one. Having already established the lands and characters in Awakening it has been enjoyable to delve deeper into the heroes lives and thoughts without spending much time setting up things like was necessary with the book one. What I'm really trying to say is that I feel like part two jumps right into the thick of things! I can't wait to be finished and share Ethan and Eisley's continued adventures with you!

Heart hold fast to where you're drawn,
Dylan Higgins

I had the privilege of meeting Andrew Peterson, author of the Wingfeather Saga, this week in Montgomery Alabama. I was able to give him a copy of my book and Sleepy Turtles' newest album. We also got to chat about publishing, writing and the editing process. We discussed his brother, Pete Peterson's books, Fin's Revolution two part series as well. Both Andrew and Pete are some of the finest storytellers of this age. It was a very valuable meeting.

Newspaper Interview!



Author Brings Books & Band to Omega Books, PTC, GA.

It’s not often that a book signing turns into a concert but when Peachtree City resident Dylan Higgins re-released his book, “Awakening, Book One of The Emblem and The Lantern,” last Friday at Omega Books in Peachtree City, the event strayed from the typical signing and reading.

Book Signing


I have a book signing at Omega Books in Peachtree City, Ga Friday, Sept. 23 from 5-7p. Stop by and say hello if you're in the area. I get a warm feeling inside when I see my book displayed with C.S. Lewis and Tolkien books (click on the right picture)!
