Podcast #4: Interview #1: Larry Correia

Larry Correia is hopelessly addicted to two things: guns and B-horror movies. He lists his occupations: gun dealer, firearms instructor, accountant, and writer, and was until recently part owner of a company specializing in firearms and movie props. He shoots competitively and is a certified concealed weapons instructor. Larry resides in Utah with his very patient wife and family. He has also designed a special patch for the agents of Monster Hunter International, Inc. As he puts it, "If you don't look good while you're killing stuff, then you're not really a monster hunter."



Monster Hunter International

Troubled by vampires or werewolves?
MHI will solve your problems
through superior firepower!

Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a fourteenth story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.

It turns out that Monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.

Business is good...

Welcome to Monster Hunter International.


Baen, being the awesome publishing company that they are, is currently offering the first seven chapters of M.H.I. to read, for free. Monster Hunter International

  2. I'm glad to hear it! Larry deserves a massive readership, and I think he'll be getting it.

    Oh, and don't forget to keep checking back here for more interviews. We have interviews with several other authors coming in the future, such as: Patrick Rothfuss, James Enge, Brian Keene and Bryan Smith.

  3. Sci-Fi Guys,

    Larry suggested I contact you. But can't find a way to do that here other than comments. I'm a new author with Tor Books, debut Oct 13th with the first in a 3-book epic fantasy. Would love to get you a promo copy. Send me an email a theman [at] johndbrown [dot] com.

    Happiness,

    John
