Caryn Larrinaga is an award-winning mystery, horror, and urban fantasy writer. Her debut novel, DONN'S HILL, was awarded the League of Utah Writers 2017 Silver Quill in the adult novel category and was a 2017 Dragon Award finalist.

Watching scary movies through split fingers terrified Caryn as a child, and those nightmares inspire her to write now. Her 90-year-old house has a colorful history, and the creaking walls and narrow hallways send her running (never walking) up the stairs. Exploring her fears through writing makes Caryn feel a little less foolish for wanting a buddy to accompany her into the tool shed.

Caryn lives near Salt Lake City, Utah, with her husband and their clowder of cats. Visit www.carynlarrinaga.com for free short fic ...more

Ochate: Abandoned Door to Another World?

I love visiting spooky places on vacation. Here in the United States, I like to explore old places whenever possible. I’m not saying a newly constructed hotel can’t be completely haunted, but there’s just a feeling I get inside buildings that have been around for a very long time that can’t be matched by most newer structures.

That’s one of many, many reasons I love visiting Spain and the Basque Co

Caryn answered a question about Donn's Hill: Will we see more of these characters? I totally love them and relate! Definitely! Mac, Striker, and the rest of the Soul Searchers are back in DONN'S SHADOW, which is available now! There will be a 3rd book to round out the series after that.

Caryn and 9 other people liked William Donahue's review of Cat Ladies of the Apocalypse: "I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
