Larry Sceurman grew up in the Kaywin section of Bethlehem, Pa., in the 1950s and 1960s.

From vocational teacher to storyteller and now author, Larry has learned and shared the value of stories. He mixes truth and fiction to produce enjoyable, thought-provoking snippets of life. Larry is influenced by the writings of Laura E. Richards, John O'Connor, Richard Ford, Michael J. Meade, Richard Rohr, and Billy Collins.
