My interview with "Monster Hunter International" author Larry Corriea

Trebor · October 27, 2015, 12:13 PM

I interviewed Larry Corriea, author of "Monster Hunter International" and other works.

Larry is "one of us" and has been a CCW instructor, owned a gun store, and used to hang out on various gun boards.

If you haven't read MHI, imagine a group like Blackwater, only dedicated to fighting monsters.

Here's the link.

An interview with Monster Hunter author Larry Correia

"Larry Correia is steeped in the gun culture. He’s been a licensed machine-gun dealer, competitive shooter, firearms instructor and all-around gun nut.

He’s also a New York Times best-selling author with his “Monster Hunter” series of novels which pit horror-movie monsters against guys with guns. Lots of guns.

The Michigan Firearms Examiner talked with Larry about firearms, writing, and the state of the gun culture."

Cool. Thanks.
Didn't MHI start as a thread here?

Trebor · October 27, 2015, 01:03 PM

yeah, he talks about that in the interview and TFL is name checked.

Great article, Trebor.
I had forgotten that he came up with the HK meme.

The first book in the MHI series is free to download from baen.com.
Look for it in their free library.
Baen has an extensive free library of the early books from their published authors.
Bless their generous hearts.

So, Mr. Corriea likes guns and hunts......monsters? Are we talking airsoft, laser-tag paintball type monsters? Child predators? Perhaps I'm missing something here.

Sci-fi fantasy books about hunting supernaturals. Differ from most in the the author knows about guns.

Unlike most!

Good interview, Trebor.

Larry is a good guy. Love his work, and love his approach to learning more about the craft of writing.

He gets the guns right (because he is a gun guy), and he gets a lot of other things right too, because he studies.

If you have time (it'll take awhile!), go read his blog post titled, "An Opinion on Gun Control." In it, he addresses just about every ridiculous notion the antis have ever thrown out, and a few relatively sensible-sounding ones too, and demolishes them with humor and logic. The post got over a million views in 3 weeks when it first went up, and for good reason.

He's one of us.

Thanks for mentioning Larry Correia's excellent article 'An Opinion on Gun Control' and including a link to it.

It's still one of the best, most informed pieces of writing on the gun control debate. We should all be aware it is out there.

Thanks again.
