Author Information

L. A. Wiggins was one of eight kids born to a rural farming family in Central Florida. In the early 1960s, when he was seventeen, he and his twin brother left home to join the army. Wiggins was deployed to West Germany for several years, where he was assigned to an army transport company, a posting he enjoyed after a grueling life of farm work. Toward the end of his enlistment, he met Nikki, a beautiful schoolteacher from London, and was granted a European discharge to work in England for a year. Married for forty-four years, they initially lived in Florida, where Wiggins worked for Delta Airlines. After twelve years, they returned to the United Kingdom with their two children and started an antiques exporting business, which they ran for years before retiring in the United States. After Nikki passed away in 2011, Wiggins discovered a passion for writing books.
