About this author

Richard Long writes to exorcize the demons of his past and manifest the dreams of his future.

His debut novel, The Book of Paul, is a dark, thrilling, and psychologically rich supernatural horror/thriller that blends mythology, science and mystery into a page-turning addiction.

Richard is also writing a YA novel, The Dream Palace, primarily so that his children can read his books.

He lives in Manhattan with his wife, two amazing children and their wicked black cat, Merlin.

message 3: by Sue

Sue Currently reading The Book of Paul.

Amazing from the first chapter !!


Melissa Keith Thanks for the friendship, Richard. Your books appeal to me greatly! I also appreciate the invites to your events. I'm bummed about the book giveaway you had recently. I missed out on the coupons and didn't really know how to get the books from Amazon. I'd love to write a True Crime novel so I will definitely look into your work. Have a great weekend.


Christine Hatfield Thanks for being my friend
