Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by
That Artsy Reader Girl. Joood - Hooligan of Platypire reviews bossed me into doing this, so I guess this is a thing I do now.
This week’s theme is author's who live in my state. I live in Colorado, so I will be featuring authors who live in Colorado. And there are some popular options available to me. I'm going to try to only feature authors whose books I've read. Let's go!
Rebecca Yarros actually lives in my metro area, and I'm in book club with two different people who know her because their kids played sports together. She often stops by one of the local Barnes and Nobel locations to sign copies of her books too.
Blake Crouch, the author of Dark Matter, lives in Colorado. If I remember correctly, I think he lives in the Denver Metro area.
Shelley Read, author of Go As a River, lives here in Colorado. Amazon says she lives in the Elk Mountains of the Western Slope.
Jay R. Wolf, author of A Sea of Unfortunate Souls, lives in Colorado. I'm fairly certain she is local to the Colorado Springs area, but she may be located closer to Denver.
CH Lyn, author of Song of the Deep, is a Colorado resident, and I'm 95% certain she lives in my area (although as I write that I realize I'm actually thinking of another author whom I met at the same book fair as CH Lyn).
Philip K Dick, author of The Man in the High Castle, is buried in Fort Morgan, Colorado. And I realize I'm stretching the prompt a little bit on this one, but it was necessary to get another Colorado author I've read...and surely we can agree that permanent resting place counts, right?
Michelle Sauer, author of Pacific Tails, lives in Colorado. And although I haven't read this book yet, I own both the physical and ebook copy, so I'll get to it sometime.
Erik Fox, author of Monarch, lives in Colorado. This is another book I haven't read yet, but it is the book my Thrills and Chills book club will be reading for our July meeting.
Andrew D Meredith, author of Quaint Creatures, lives in Colorado. I haven't read anything by him yet either, but I have this one and his entire Kallattian saga in paperback, so I'll probably read them.
Carly Stevens, author of Firian Rising, calls Colorado home. I haven't read this book (or the series) yet, but it is one I bought and own.
I didn't manage to exclusively feature authors I've read, but getting 6 out 10 with authors I've read is still pretty good...and I've read three of Rebecca Yarros' books (it'll be four before the year is over as one of my book clubs is reading In the Unlikely Event this month actually).
Have you read any of these Colorado authors? Who is your favorite author from your state (or country if you're not American)?
