Larissa writes epic love stories and creates dramatic designs for hand knitters.

Her first novel, Beautiful Wreck, is a time travel love story set in a fictional 10th century Iceland. So Wild A Dream is a two-book series, set in the same world, which will launch in 2016. Larissa is also the author of the novella Tress, a gothic horror fairytale love story.

She regularly posts photos of her #writingspot on Instagram to share the adventure of writing, and she is the proud owner of the addictive online generator What Does Your Hero Smell Like?

An eclectic reader, Larissa's favorite book this year was A Concise Dictionary of Old Icelandic. She reads speculative fiction, romance, historical fiction and craft books, and has a special love for knitti

Thanks for wondering and asking. I have two books planned for this year: A novella called Tress, which is unrelated to Beautiful Wreck, is a fairytale/horror/love story. That is slated to come out in late March.

Then I will have a companion novel to Beautiful Wreck, which is in the works and is epic and I am such a slow writer! It's tentatively called So Wild A Dream, and it centers on Brosa, Heirik's brother, who goes through some hell and falls in love. We don't have a date on that one, but it will be by the end of 2015. I swear on my keyboard. :)

In the meantime, you can sign up for my e-news which includes updates on these books and also my other writing. http://eepurl.com/Y9N4T

Next Book

Hi there,

I am so fortunate to have readers ask me when the next book will come out. The answer, finally, is July. A summer book set in the leafy, green and white woods of Iceland.

I'm working hard to write the most poetic and epic conclusion to Brosa's and Eðna’s story. And I'm a slow writer. I write in stolen hours and snippets of time on the bus or in cafes. I write slower than I run, which is sa Read more of this blog post »

Topics Mentioning This Author

“Really, all you need to become a good knitter are wool, needles, hands, and slightly below-average intelligence. Of course superior intelligence, such as yours and mine, is an advantage.”
Elizabeth Zimmermann, Knitting Without Tears: Basic Techniques and Easy-to-Follow Directions for Garments to Fit All Sizes

“What do I believe? I believe that it's easier to sit at home in your yoga pants, with your Lean Cuisine Cafe Classic Fettuccine Alfredo. But it's important not to.”
Ann Shayne, Bowling Avenue

Neal Stephenson
“Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.”
Neal Stephenson

Ovid
“Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these.”
Ovid

Mary Doria Russell
“Watching him with one eye, she wondered if men ever figured out that they were more appealing when they were pursuing their own work than when they were pursuing a woman.”
Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow

Larissa Brown Thank you! I loved making that pinterest board, and I have spent moments when I've been stuck or just dreaming, looking at those images and then diving into writing again.

Amy Oh. I love your Pinterest book inspiration board. What a nice idea! Sort of a visualization of the book without having the book actually illustrated. :-)
