A long term resident of Southern California, Larry Bjornson grew up on the beaches and in the now vanished orange groves of south Orange County. In time he graduated from the University of California with degrees in history and political science. Despite this educational background, Larry says, “In college, I toyed with youthful notions of becoming a racecar driver, a karate instructor, or a writer. At this point, I've pretty much given up on racing and karate instruction.” Larry’s Icelandic great grandparents immigrated to America in the 1870s after a volcanic eruption buried their farm in ash. They settled in North Dakota and began a new life on a new farm. Larry’s family currently owns and operates a different North Dakota farm purchased 70 years ago by his grandfather (who once played a violin piece for Buffalo Bill Cody). There are powerful echoes of his family’s farming history in Wide Open. Currently, he does marketing for a yacht dealer in Newport Beach, but storytelling has always been his true love. “Wide Open required an extraordinary amount of research (my folders of notes stand two and a half feet tall when stacked), but I think it may be one of the most accurate pictures of day-to-day life in a Kansas cattle town that you’re likely to read. To say the least, they don’t make towns like 1871 Abilene anymore, and that’s what fascinated me about it.”
