Born and raised in California’s San Joaquin Valley, Scott R. Larson draws on a lifetime of experiences to spin his stories. These include living in France and Chile in the 1970s, working in the software industry in Seattle in the 1980s and 1990s, and observing rural life in the West of Ireland in the 21st century. And sometimes he just makes up his stories out of whole cloth with nothing to draw from but his own idiosyncratic imagination.
