M. Long

As the oldest of five sons growing up in a military family and experiencing relocation to new places both in the US and overseas, I have developed a natural curiosity and healthy tolerance for new experiences. In my adult life, I have continued to travel for work and pleasure to Europe, the Middle East, Caribbean, South America, Central America, South Pacific, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. From my travels I have learned to love discovering local cuisines, exploring cultural norms and a deep appreciation for Nature. Many of those experiences are touched on in Saint Lucy of the Cowboys. My next novel is in development and named The Purgatory of Chief Bob Two Pockets, which explores the cultural conflict between Europeans and Native Americans on the Great Plains of the US in the 1800s.

I am a confirmed bachelor living in Denver where I am a proud owner of the two Bent Fork Grills. I love Colorado and Denver's big back yard, which provides numerous fly fishing and skiing opportunities. I also work for a consulting and management company based out of Los Angeles by the name of Trifecta Management Group. Between the restaurants, travel and consulting for TMG, I have much less time to write than I'd prefer.
