A Florida native, Larry has been a reader of speculative fiction ever since he tore through the Tom Swift Junior series in the second grade, and it inspired a lifelong interest in science and technology. He chose to study at Florida State University and the University of Miami, and upon graduation he moved to Southern California to work as an engineer in the consumer and commercial audio industry. Switching careers in the late 90's, Larry now enjoys life in the mountains of Southern Utah where he writes and studies geology and astronomy.
