About the author

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 knitting stitch dictionaries.

A two-time craft author with STC Craft, Larissa has published books, articles and designs with a variety of knitting-related publications. She independently publishes her hand knitting designs. She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband Martin and son Sebastian, adorable loser-of-hand-made-hats.

This is very different from most grant-writing books because it doesn't just regurgitate information on grant sources and general proposal structure that you can find anywhere. The authors go into much more detail about how to manage the grant writing process in organizations of all sizes. For that reason, I would recommend it to anyone who works or volunteers as a grant writer, even if they already have experience.

The least dry book I could find on the subject of grant writing. Golden Brown's guide is down to earth and the reader is not burdened by endless grant writing "jargon". A must have for the novice grant seeker.
