About the Author

John A. Longeway has a life-long love of speculative fiction which began with watching reruns of Star Trek and The Wizard of Oz as a tiny, impressionable child, whose brain was permanently warped. An ill-advised reading of "The Amityville Horror" and "The Exorcist" during the summer of his 10th year further scarred him and left a fascination with the occult and esoteric. John credits his comfort with topics such as madness to his family of origin, who are the weirdest bunch of people you are likely to meet. He sadly acknowledges that he is likely the strangest of the lot. John enjoys writing the gamut of speculative fiction, ranging from soft sci-fi to classic fantasy to modern fantasy to horror. John's books reflect his dual Gemini nature---Some are light-hearted and fun, while others are dark and frightening. He is hopeful his readers can tell the difference between the two.
