Benison. Of course, not all their books are set in Manitoba. Alison Gordon, Marianne McDonald and Taylor Smith also are from Manitoba, but their books are set elsewhere.

Move the story to a U.S. city and we might consider it.<br /><br />Yes, Liz, I'm a Canadian author, but so far I haven't published a book with a Canadian setting. But I'm working on one right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-63485949797175012932011-09-17T09:59:50.986-04:002011-09-17T09:59:50.986-04:00Missed one: a partner in Malice-Go-Round a couple ...Missed one: a partner in Malice-Go-Round a couple of years ago.Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-39343259463938792652011-09-17T09:57:53.467-04:002011-09-17T09:57:53.467-04:00It's a good list for "six degrees," ...It's a good list for "six degrees," too. I can identify two or three onlne friends or acquaintances, two authors I was reading long before writing mysteries myself, two friends I'm on hugging terms with when I see them at conferences, one more I've been on a panel with--and unaccountably missing from the list, my blog sister Sharon Wildwind. :)Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-89166757562319638912011-09-17T07:59:39.346-04:002011-09-17T07:59:39.346-04:00US readers would have a better chance if the Canad...US readers would have a better chance if the Canadian authors list had more named who've been published by US publishers.Sandra Ruttanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109584805469336742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-51050508329489256942011-09-17T07:46:52.118-04:002011-09-17T07:46:52.118-04:00Loved your post and of course, love Canadian autho...Loved your post and of course, love Canadian authors, one of whom is number 4 on the NY Times best sellers list!
