Larisa Villar Hauser writes books for children. Her first published work, Uma & Imp, was released in 2014.
Larisa lives in London and has spent stretches of time in New York, Austria and Brazil, where she expanded her horizons and her overdraft.
Although Larisa always wanted to write, she was in her thirties before she started work on her first book - an unpublished crime fiction novel that now acts as a draught excluder.
It took Larisa over seven years to complete Uma & Imp - she is confident that her next book will be completed in at least double that time.
