Larry Correia was raised on a dairy farm in El Nido, California, where he learned early that hard work, guns, and books all had their place in a well-rounded life. A childhood spent hoisting hay bales, reading everything he could get his hands on, and blasting varmints turned into a life marked by grit and storytelling. He’s been a farmhand, warehouse grunt, accountant, firearms instructor, and gun shop owner before turning to full-time writing.
Correia’s stories reflect that same ethos―tough men, hard choices, and no room for flinching. His breakout novel, Monster Hunter International, launched an internationally bestselling series. His fiction blends folklore, firepower, and blue-collar realism with a touch of humor into fast-paced tales in which tough men stand their ground against overwhelming odds.
Correia lives in Utah with his family.

Larry Correia recommends

Canvas of Deception (2025)
(Levi Yoder, book 5)
M A Rothman
"If Michael Crichton and F.Paul Wilson had a collaboration, this is what it would look like! An excellent mix of science, action, and political intrigue."

Time Trials (2023)
(Time Trials, book 1)
D J Butler and M A Rothman
"If Michael Crichton came back from the dead riding on a T-Rex, that would be almost as much fun as Time Trials. This is a must-read!"
