"Once upon a time, a young writer lived a divided life. He spent his days laboring as a Chicago trader, but at night, his imagination came alive with tales of military and medieval history, international conflict, politics and ancient lands. Out of these dreams came a screenplay, currently under studio development, titled "The Dark Templar," and a book, "Giants, Myths & Devils: The Forgotten Heroes, Brutal Villains and Bizarre Misconceptions that Shaped Our World," composed of fascinating and little-known true historical tales. Brave readers can learn more about the legend of Mark Longo at WWW.MARKLONGO.COM."
