American Paladin

Larry Correia was raised on a dairy farm in El Nido, California, where he learned early that hard work, guns, and books all had their place in a well-rounded life. A childhood spent hoisting hay bales, reading everything he could get his hands on, and blasting varmints turned into a life marked by grit and storytelling. He's been a farmhand, warehouse grunt, accountant, firearms instructor, and gun shop owner before turning to full-time writing.

Correia's stories reflect that same ethos--tough men, hard choices, and no room for flinching. His breakout novel, Monster Hunter International, launched an internationally bestselling series. His fiction blends folklore, firepower, and blue-collar realism with a touch of humor into fast-paced tales in which tough men stand their ground against overwhelming odds. American Paladin is the first entry in a new series.

Correia lives in Utah with his family.
