I was recently (January 2022) the 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 wife, a very strange cat, and surrounded by four seasons of glorious nature, except for the damned midges. A number of other writing projects are in the plans, including novels on time travel, a near future dystopia, a nature fantasy about life in a tide pool and adjacent beach, and additional articles on the history and culture of the Land of the Lakes (southern Oregon, northeastern California, northwestern Nevada, and southwestern Idaho).
