"I treat writing like a regular job," he says. He has also won numerous awards including several Audies and the Locus Poll Award for Best Fantasy Novel.Ĭorreia keeps a dedicated writing schedule, with the goal of writing 10,000 words a week. "I like to draw inspiration from a wide variety of sources, like classic movie monsters, fiction, myths, and folklore sometimes it's fun to just make up something weird and new, and give the monster new traits or abilities."Ĭorreia has authored many fantasy novels, including the Monster Hunter series and the Grimnoir Chronicle series. "When people ask me what kind of monsters I have in the series, my answer is, ‘all of them,'" says Correia, who lives in northern Utah. Beginning with Monster Hunter International (2007), Correia invented a world in which monsters are real, hungry, and must be hunted. Despite the running joke among his friends and coworkers that most monster movies would be over during the opening credits if the characters were armed, Correia knew he could make it work. When he began his career as a writer (he also worked as an accountant and firearms instructor), he wanted to bring his two passions together. Fantasy author Larry Correia is a self-described gun nut and B-horror-movie freak.
