Former newsreader opens up about Trouserless Under the News Desk by Boolarong Press
Australian TV star Mike Higgins has been on the road spreading the word about his new memoir: Trouserless Under the News Desk.
Forever Young Autobiographies caught up with him to find out more following the book’s released in June by Boolarong Press.
Higgins has been a familiar face on television for over 25 years.
He was the long-time news anchor for Channel 7 in Queensland but also made award-winning documentaries to be awarded a United Nations media peace prize.
But the broadcast journalist became the news a number of times.
Namely when he went on the run from drug traffickers who he feared would kill him and for filming a story at a nudist beach in the raw.
More recently Higgins had another threat to his life.
Higgins had four years of chemotherapy, underwent a bone-marrow transplant and nearly died.
His survival stunned doctors who dubbed him the Miracle Man and said not many patients had “done it tougher”.
“I hope the book will be inspirational to people or anyone going through any sort of a challenge, whether it’s cancer or another illness or a psychological challenge,” Higgins said.
Keep reading to find out how he wrote the book, what were the project’s highlights plus Higgins’s tips for starting your own memoir, autobiography, biography or life-story project.
