As a child, Patrick P. Long developed an extraordinary passion for writing. Honing his penning skills, he pursued his love of writing and authored “Ordinarily Extraordinary,” a nonfiction publication detailing his wife’s battle with breast cancer and its effects on him, their children and marriage. A raw, revealing and intense real-life tale, “Ordinarily Extraordinary” became an international best-seller within the first few months of publication and continues to receive global five-star reviews and endorsements.  

Writing his memoir, “Ordinarily Extraordinary,” helped him delve deeper into the grieving and healing processes as he adjusted to his new normal. A single father of four kids, Patrick sets a positive tone for his family, rejects pity and finds the extraordinary in the ordinary. 

Prior to becoming a published author, Patrick earned his living as a systems' engineer and database architect, otherwise referred to as a nerdy computer programmer. Patrick is passionate about aviation, sports, reading and writing, and admits he eats way too much pizza and buffalo wings.  

Long was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri where he is raising his four children and continues to support the American Cancer Society and Camp Kesem – the nonprofits that supported him and his family in their time of need.
