Julian (J. L.) Long lives in New Hampshire with three adults, three teenagers, and three cats. He has the hugest possible writer crush on Shirley Jackson, and his fictional boyfriend is Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot. When not writing, he enjoys reading, watching detective shows, petting his cats, and playing infinite levels of Super Mario Maker. Julian has published two novels, a collection of short stories, and several pieces for some small local newspapers and special interest zines. He also hosts a monthly literary salon for writers, Rochester Writers Night. You can contact Julian at [email protected]. "Julian's style is varied and his talent is equally applied to comedy, mystery, and drama." - Rochester Main Street's Main Street Matters newsletter
