Happy Tuesday, readers! Today’s Top Ten topic is “Authors Who Live in My State.” I’m born and raised in the great “Show me State” of Missouri and I’m happy to recommend the following authors who are from here, too.

- Susan Laspe – Historical Fantasy
- Tara Grace Ericson – Contemporary Romance
- Sarah Hanks – Historical Fiction/Split Time/Time Travel
- Stephanie Daniels – Historical Fiction
- Julie Lessman – Historical Fiction
- Annie Cosby – Fantasy
- Liz Morrison/Costanzo – Historical Romance and Reincarnation

- Laura Ingalls Wilder – Pioneer Fiction/Non-Fiction
Have you read any of these? Are there any other Missouri authors you’d recommend?

I recommend Irene Hannon. She writes inspirational contemporary romance.

I have only read Julie Lessman and Laura Ingalls Wilder. I agree with the poster above, I really enjoy Irene Hannon’s books. I don’t know of any other authors off the top of my head from Missouri.

Laura Ingalls Wilder is the only one I’ve heard of! I was a HUGE Little House fan (books and tv show) when I was a kid.
Happy TTT!
