There are three other Ohio authors I know of, since I live there. One is John Scalzi, who writes SF, and the other SF writer is a friend of mine who teaches at Kenyon, Joan Slonczewski. There is also an even more prolific children's author than Creech, Margaret Haddix, who lives in Columbus. And there's a children's author who runs a bookstore in my small town. I'm trying to remember her name; we used to buy her books when the kids were younger. In trying to find her name, I was reminded that Natalie Babbit, R.L. Stine, James Thurber, Zane Grey, and Chris Crutcher are from Ohio. And finally I remember her name (with help from Ron)--it's Bonnie Pryor.
sorry, you had Zane Grey. I got all excited when I found a list of Ohio authors.
I read the Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio and thought it was pretty fascinating. Thinking back, it's a little hard to believe as non-fiction, but I hope it's true. Thanks so much for these lists. I know I'll be coming back to them at times.
Yay, Conrad Richter! I love the Awakening Land trilogy!!
oh my, another mention of Beloved. I keep putting it off and I don't know why.
Jeanne - Thanks, I'll add them all in!
Kristi - That one has been on my list for awhile now.
Bybee - I haven't read that one yet. I'll have to check it out.
Care - It's an interesting one.
