Benjamin Craig Long

Benjamin Craig Long was born in, and currently resides in Bowling Green, Kentucky. He's been an avid reader all of his life of everything from comic books to classic literature. He is a humorist, and an established raconteur of somewhat dubious credibility. An alumnus of Western Kentucky University, his education focused on creative writing with appreciations of the Algonquin Round Table humorists of the 1920s. Robert Benchley, Dorothy Parker, Ring Lardner and Franklin P. Adams are his idols---not to discredit many other humorists.

His first book, DELAFIELD, Confessions of a Boy from the Wrong Side of the Tracks, is a loving, yet whimsical look back at his childhood and the characters that shaped his life.

He is a father of three, and is married to Christine Ann Long, his childhood sweetheart.
