Utah Authors
So I’ve been keeping a text file with Utah authors and their books to keep track of them but Suey at It’s All About Books (who also lives in Utah) created a perpetual challenge to read our local authors. Well, duh! Totally doing this already, so why not make it official?! While Utah is home to many authors for the LDS market, the majority of this list are authors who have a national reach and is far from all inclusive. And wow, I love living here!
