I appeared as guest author on William J. Cook's blog on indie authors. It was a great opportunity to share some views on writing, to plug my latest effort, and visit online with a fellow author and friend. You can access his interviews at authorwilliamcook.com/blog.  Thank you, Bill.

 

Larry lives in Eastern Oregon with a beautiful, resourceful, and understanding wife, surrounded by four seasons of glorious nature, except for the damned midges. Woodpeckers, quail, Stellar and scrub jays. mule deer, racoons, gray foxes, and an occasional cougar are among our visitors. In addition to the writing projects reported on a preceding page, Larry continues to collect ideas and fragments of reality. He enjoys playing low stakes poker, watching hockey (Go Kraken!), collecting and viewing films from all eras, and communicating with friends and family. His most recent favorite film was the three-season television series, Under the Dome, based on Stephen King's novel. Opa!
