When I was five, my parents took my siblings and me on a grand adventure. The journey led us from California through Arkansas onto weeks of miles on the Appalachian Trail and ultimately into Francoist Spain, where we lived as Spaniards for five years. We returned to the Ozarks in 1976, where I felt more a foreigner than I ever did as an American in Spain. These experiences and perspectives have been a major source of inspiration for my writing. I have been a bi-vocational pastor for the past 30 years, ministering in churches large and small while working as a government contractor and in the recycling industry. I currently live in Chesapeake, Virginia with my wife, Heidi, and four of our children.

My Aunt Katy is the Larum family genealogist. I sent your answer to her to see if there is a connection. I am second generation Larum born in the United States. My grandfather and his siblings immigrated from Norway, just south of Oslo. Larum is a rare surname even in Norway.

In English, larum is a shortened form of alarum (modern alarm). It shows up in Taming of the Shrew, "Have I not in pitched battle heard loud 'larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets clang?" My bunch of Larums are a loud, gregarious bunch, so the surname is appropriate in both languages. :-)

Glad to meet you and share reading and writing interests.

Warm regards,
