W. J. Long III is a resident of rural North Carolina, living with his wife and two children.

Writing has always been a close-held passion of his, but after a life-threatening health crisis, W J turned his eye toward leaving something of note behind.

As a long-time geek culture fan (especially science fiction), W J comes to his novels from a cinematic background. Having written several screenplays, he now brings the same sense of energy, tension, and pace to his work in prose.

I should start with a thank you to all who discover and read this post. It is my first, and I mean it to be a snapshot of my consciousness in the moment...with few grammatical errors (hopefully).

I was sitting in the early hours of the morning, alone in the dark, and wondering why so many of the artistic endeavors I tend to fall in love with die before their time.
