More About the Author

Duncan Long (http://DuncanLong.com/) is a freelance writer/illustrator who has authored 13 novels including Anti-Grav Unlimited (Avon Books), the Spider Worlds triology (HarperCollins), and the Night Stalkers series (Harper Collins). He's also written 60-some technical books and how-to manuals (with Paladin Press, Delta Press, Lyons Press/Globe Pequot, and others). Additionally, he's ghostwritten over a dozen titles for TV, radio, and stage celebrities.

Some of Long's technical manuals can be found in the private libraries of the CIA, US Marines, FEMA, the FBI's FTU (Firearms Training Unit), and other US agencies. Excerpts from his books and technical drawings have even appeared in US Congressional hearings.

As an illustrator Long has created cover and interior illustrations for HarperCollins, PS Publishing (UK), Byron Preiss/ibooks, Pocket Books, Fort Ross, American Media, Delirium Books, Ballistic Media, Mermaid Books, Swimming Kangaroo Books, and others. His artwork also appears in national magazines (including the Sun and Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine), and at Web sites and on CD covers.

Long's illustrations are noted for their often whimsical, dreamlike quality. Talk-show host Victor Thorn named Long one of the three "best graphic artists in the entire world." And the reviewer at 3D Millennium (M3 Corp., Inc.) wrote about Long's collected works, "To call him a prolific artist would be understatement, at best. Get yourself a snack and settle back while Duncan takes you on a wild ride through worlds only he has dreamt of."

You can find Long's graphic artwork and articles online at his site: http://DuncanLong.com/

2.0 out of 5 stars Some useful info, but..., January 26, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Poor Man's Fort Knox: Home Security With Inexpensive Safes (Paperback)
$8.00 for less than 50 pages. And what is contained in those pages amounts to not much more than a review of prices for certain companies' safes, some idea of how effective or not they are, and ... not much else. Oh, and the great way to save money on safes is to buy one used. No really earth-shattering secrets are contained here, unfortunately.

4.0 out of 5 stars Poor Man's Fort Knox, February 8, 2008
This review is from: The Poor Man's Fort Knox: Home Security With Inexpensive Safes (Paperback)
OK, I don't know what I was thinking. I bought the book thinking it would give me design ideas on building an inexpensive & secure safe in my home. Instead it tells me, "You don't need an expensive safe, you can buy an inexpensive one instead."
I should have read the reviews that Amazon.com supplies and saved myself the money. Thank goodness for [...] discounts so at least I didn't pay full price for it! Thanks, Amazon!
