John H Long

After leaving H.S., I spent a few years working for Uncle Sam before going back to college. After two years college and an AS degree, I worked as a Florida State Beach Park Ranger before accepting a job with the City of Ft.Lauderdale as a police officer. Ten years later, I went to work for the small bedroom City of Parkland, Florida as a police officer/firefighter.This offered me greater opportunity for advancement. In less than two years I attained the rank of Sergeant, but five years into the job I suffered an injury from performing my fire service duties. After seven surgeries to my wrist, I was prohibited from working as a P.O. This led me to a new career path in Las Vegas and a job in one of the prominent Strip casinos. While there, I chose to take up a passion of mine and began writing.

My first full-length novel titled, The Heritage of Yawnogard is now available to be purchased through XLIBRIS.com./  Amazon.com/Barnes&Noble.com and Tor.com.
I am currently working on a web site that will allow you to purchase an autographed book directly from me in late January 2010.
In the meantime if you have comments go to Author John H Long on Yahoo or Google. If you purchased from Amazon or B&N go to their web sites to post a comment on my book.
Thank you all for your support.
