I have decided to add a page with links my writing that is available online. More shorts and excerpts from upcoming novels will be posted here also.
NEW NEW NEW! http://www.webscription.net/chapters/1439132852/1439132852.htm Baen has just posted the first SEVEN chapters of Monster Hunter International on their webpage.
Sample Chapter from MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/mhi-sample-chapters/ (available July 2009 from Baen books) My little self-published monster book that managed to become a bestseller.
SWEOTHI CITY http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/online-fiction-sweothi-city/ This is a short from the universe of my upcoming novel, Dead Six. I am cowriting it with Mike Kupari. It is a story told in the 1st person, by two seperate narrators. And they are not friends.

An excerpt from the rough draft intro to THE GRIMNOIR CHRONICLES http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/a-little-sample-from-the-grimnoir-chronicles/ This is my current project, a fantasy/alternative history where magic began to randomly appear in the mid 1800s. This novel takes place in 1932.

WELCOME BACK, MR. NIGHTCRAWLER http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=207390&highlight=corriea The original online fiction experiment that turned into the Dead Six collaboration. This is a very rough serial that was cranked out with little or no planning, that turned out to be quite the adventure. This is the thread that sparked the novels, Dead Six, Exodus, and Project Blue. (all coming soon).
Larry,
I came across your story on line. Funny thing. I am self-published and because of a recommendation by Mike Resnick Toni is looking at my book. (Some dedicated fans who love my work and a video game contract on the book help get the attention from Mike.)
But the thing is it’s been on her desk for nearly 6 months. Advised by Mike I sent an e-mail inquiry a month ago to make sure it was received… still nothing.
Any advice on how to proceed? I’ve moved to the secluded northwest from the DC area. Signings are no longer feasible.
How long did yo have to wait to hear back from Toni? Anything I should do or not do?
I have an e-mail list waiting for book II that is now complete. I know they’d bug her at Baen’s Bar if they had an inkling it’d help me get nation wide. But Mike advised against that. I’m open to anything you can contribute to the situation.
Thank you for taking precious time to help out a fellow POD (not crap) author.

Lynn, e-mail sent.
Larry,
I just finished reading Welcome Back Mr. Nightcrawler over on THR. Holy ****, man, that was awesome! PLEASE tell me I’m gonna see that in print one day! (Not the Dead 6 Trilogy, but the whole thing!)
Yes. We have planned 3 books in that series.
Just finished MHI on webscription.
When will the next book come out?
That is entirely up to the publisher, and depends on how well this one sells.
Just finished MHI also, the book was loads of fun. You have my vote, and dollars when it comes out, for the next book.
Just finished reading MHI in paperback. Read it in 3 days. It was such a fast paced exciting read I couldn’t put it down. I hope that there are more books on there way for the series.
Thanks for a great book.

Hell of a good first novel, looking forward to reading the sequel.
Great airplane read! Made the 6.5 hour flight from Boston to Portland seem like 20 minutes. Can’t wait for the sequel. And yes, I enjoy shooting sports and live in Massachusetts, there are a few of us out there!
Holy smokes! I haven’t read as good a book [MHI] in some time. The shooting stuff was great, I kept saying “Oooh.. I have that..I want that..wow, I can’t do that..yet”. What really got me was the humor and the gaming references. Thank-you for one hot read, Larry. I look forward to your next piece!
MHI: WOW
I am on page 134 and am so disappointed that I have to wait for the second book.
Excellent, I like the characters, I like the idea and I like the protagonist. Though he needs to learn to talk to people about what is happening to him.
I expect many more MHI’s.
oh, and u rite gud
p
un-fucking-belivable!!!! MHI rocks the house. for so long I’ve been looking for a book that starts fast and ends even faster.
Love the main character, love the fact that he is a “Big Man” that is fast and deadly like a Bruce Lee on steriods(being a big man myself) its about time.
thristing for more from Mr. Correia
Since I’m already a MHI fan, and have read the Christmas (Noun),or, at least what there is of it. . .I started reading the Dead 6 Stories on THR.
OMFG, that’s good stuff. . .
But you, somehow, HAVE to incorporate those Rocky-and-Bullwinkle endings BluesBear wrote into the threads. . . they were the BBQ sauce on top of all that red-meat-guns-and-violence goodness. . .
Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your novel. Kind of a random pick-up, saw it on the shelf at B&N, couldn’t be happier. Good luck. Are sales going well so far? I’d love to see more novels.
If you haven’t had the chance, pick up some Glen Cook or Spider Robinson…funny guys, also.
Brent, I’ve read a little Cook, but no Robinson yet. I like Glen Cook.
Sales have been rocking.
Larry,
I’ve just finished reading MHI, and just wanted you to know that you’ve got a fan in the UK. What a rock and roll ride! Loved the action, the characters and the writing, and especially loved Skippy and his tribe. I’d love to see more stories of MHI and the mighty Z, maybe taking in some of the hunter groups around the world? I’ll be recommending this one to my friends.
Thanks,
Chris
Loved it! Humor, monsters, romance, and GUNS! What more could you ask for?
Can’t wait for more on Pitt and company!
MHI was great! I love that the hero is a big ugly guy like me!
I saw the book at B&N and decided to get the ebook at webscription.net so I could read it on my blackberry. I couldn’t put it down and now I need more!
Can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks,
Bigtech
Oh dude MHI was the most exciting piece of literature I have read in a long time, can’t wait for another one
Great novel two questions: Who gave you the evil idea to post the first seven chapters on the web? You had me at throwing the boss out of a 14 story window. I immediately went and bought the book. Second what kind of gun did you by with the book money! HA ! Great novel waiting on the sequel.
All I can say is wow! I just finished MHI and it blew my mind, lol. One of my fav parts is when the young LT is such a wuss and the NCO from the Guard steps up. I’m in the Guard myself and it was absolutely tops to see them portrayed in your book. Maybe more of them in the sequel, eh?
Larry,
Reading the book now. Loving it! Mike is waiting for me to finish. I bought it for him (not my genre, usually), but started reading it and won’t let it out of my sight. Terrific stuff!
All the best to you and Bridget!
Lori
Oh, and the NCO stepping up? Love that as well, and so will Mike (NCO himself). NCO= Not Conquering Otherwise
I absolutely LOVED Monster Hunter International! I found it by accident at Barnes and Noble when I was purchasing the latest book in the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher. I noticed the cover, picked it up and read the blurb, and was captured. I was in the middle of another series and could hardly wait to finish it (another genre), although I thoroughly enjoy that series. And Monster Hunter International lived up to the promise, let me tell you! I was not disappointed.
By the way that it ended, I hope that there will be a new book in the series. If not, I am CRUSHED.
I like handsome guys, but character and heart rule over handsome every time. Pitt is my hero, along with Jack Reacher in the series by Lee Child (it’s not paranormal, but Reacher is a big guy, too, not necessarily handsome).
Thanks for sharing your talent with the world. I look forward to more Monster Hunter International books. I am 56 years old and have been reading adult books since I was 9 years old (had older brothers and sisters) and I say that you are a MASTER storyteller! PLEASE continue!
All the best to you,
Carol Garth
Just finished Monster Hunter International and loved it. I am looking forward to the next in this series. The book got me to look for more from you on the web and I am loving what I am reading. Thanks for sticking with it while you were self-publishing, it was worth it.

I’m about a third of the way through Monster Hunter International, and I’m hooked. Great action, terrific characterization, and excellent pacing. Well done! I’m very much looking forward to seeing more of your work.
MHI was suggested by a facebook friend who is serving in Afghanistan. Great book ,when is the movie and where the hell is the sequel.Last book I read this fast was John Ross’s UC.
#2 will be out in Fall 2010.
As for the movie, it will be made as soon as somebody in Hollywood gives me a giant sack of money.
Listen Mr C, just asking because mum’s intrested but have you got a name for MH book #2? We ain’t got any suggestions but it would be nice to know S’all.
