Caroline Bliss Larsen

Caroline Bliss Larsen edits BYU Independent Study courses by day and writes and edits novels by night. She is also a freelance acquiring editor for Jolly Fish Press and Flux, imprints of North Star Editions. She holds a BA in English language from Brigham Young University, with minors in editing and English literature. Her first foray into writing fiction was at age six, with a story about a goldfish named Goldeen (before Caroline had any concept of trademark or copyright). Years later, Marvin's Monster Diary 2 (+ Lyssa) is her debut novel. And she couldn't be more thrilled—when she never outgrew her collection of chapter books and young adult novels, she knew she'd found both a passion and a career path. Originally an East Coast girl, Caroline lives in Utah with her game-developer husband. To clear her head of words from time to time, she likes to Irish dance and snuggle her nieces, nephew, husband, and delightfully clingy cat, Cinder.
