The Twilight War
Page 18
Simon Higgins’s employment history reads like a novel. He’s worked as a disc jockey, laboratory assistant, marketing manager and even as a monster on a ghost train. He also spent a decade in law enforcement; as a police officer, state prosecutor and as a licensed private investigator.
Simon is proudly a student of Eishin-Ryu Iaido, a 470-year-old style of swordsmanship which prizes traditional techniques and medieval samurai etiquette and courtesy. He has trained in Japan and participated in Taikai (contests) before His Imperial Highness Prince Munenori Kaya. Simon placed fifth in the 2008 Iaido World Titles and in 2009 he was awarded a black belt by masters from the All Japan Iaido Federation.
As well as conducting professional development sessions for educators, Simon runs writing workshops for kids and adults, in Australia and overseas.
