A government that knew. A man who remembered. A story that won’t go away.
On an ordinary October afternoon in 1974, oilfield foreman Carl Higdon vanished while elk hunting in Wyoming’s Medicine Bow National Forest. When search crews found him hours later—dazed, incoherent, and miles from where he should’ve been—his story would defy logic, ignite international interest, and challenge everything we think we know about alien encounters.
Taken: The Complete Carl Higdon Story is the definitive account of one of America’s most compelling and credible alien abduction cases. With insights from alien abduction expert, Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, never-before-shared hypnosis transcripts, and Margery Higdon’s emotional retelling of the search and aftermath, this is more than a UFO story. It’s a testimony. A challenge to skeptics.
A call to reexamine what might be watching us from the stars.
Bio
Laura Ranger is a natural storyteller who has been turning life’s moments into tales since childhood. A mother of one and grandmother of four, Laura began writing down her fictional stories to the delight of family and friends. With over thirty years of storytelling experience, her passion for writing has only grown stronger over time.
Her publishing journey began with a short story featured in the Christmas anthology "Eight ‘Til Christmas", a project supporting the fight against child hunger. Seeing her story in print lit a creative fire she describes as unstoppable.
Laura is the author of "Deception" and "Royalty", and she co-authored the novel "Rogue". In 2025, she released two new titles: "Made for Me", and "Taken: The Complete Carl Higdon Story", a non-fiction work. Her novel "Royalty" has blossomed into a four-book series "The Royal Lineage Series", with "Heirs" (Book Two), "Chosen" (Book Three), and "United" (Book Four) all slated for release in early 2026.
She is also developing a thoughtful new book called "Lessons", which she envisions as a shared reading experience between parents and children. While originally written for young readers, Laura discovered that the meaningful themes resonate with readers of all ages.
A prolific writer with countless ideas in the works, Laura continues to bring her stories to life, one book at a time. “God blessed me with a natural gift of storytelling,” she says. “It’s up to me to use that gift to the best of my ability.”
Beyond her work as an author, Laura is also the owner of the traditional Foundations Book Publishing Company, and the hybrid for self-publishing Vitality House Book Publishing Company, where she helps others share their stories with the world.
