Larry Sceurman grew up in the Kaywin section of Bethlehem, Pa., in the 1950s and 1960s. In his early teens, he worked with his grandfather in a small auto body repair shop. Larry became an educator in his twenties, a storyteller in his fifties, a writer in his sixties, and a published author of nostalgic fiction in his seventies. Larry, who learned he had dyslexia in his late twenties, discovered that it had made him a good listener. Bookworm's Magical Journey is his first children's book. He has recently written and drawn his second, Frog and Crow's Conversation. His historical fiction for adults includes the novella (featuring the Fullerton area in the 1970s) The Death of Big Butch and his short story collection, Coffee in the Morning.

Larry is influenced by the writings of Laura E. Richards, John O'Connor, Richard Ford, Michael J. Meade, Richard Rohr, and Billy Collins.
