Do you know any books from famous or non-famous authors? Or maybe even books that weren't written during NaNoWriMo but by an author who has used or written during NaNoWriMo before? Please share!

I personally love The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. The books got their start in NaNo. The first one is called Cinder, the second one (just released) is Scarlet. Excellent books!

Omg I didn't know she wrote those during NaNoWriMo!!!! That is SO cool!!!! I LOVE Cinder!!!!

I believe Linnea Sinclair's first release was a NaNo book.

I just released the book that I wrote for NaNoWriMo in 2011. it is my third novel but the other two were not NaNoWriMo books. The 2012 NaNo book will be released in 2014 and I'm gearing up for the Nov novel.

All the books are mysteries set in Acapulco. The central character is Emilia Cruz, the first and only female police detective.

HAT DANCE: An Emilia Cruz Novel has just been released and is FREE for Kindle reviewers today and tomorrow. This is the second book in the Emilia Cruz mystery series. It follows CLIFF DIVER, the novel that Kirkus Reviews called "Consistently exciting . . . A clever Mexican detective tale that will leave readers eager for the series' next installment." Thanks for checking it out!

in HAT DANCE, Emilia Cruz, Acapulco's first and only female police detective, will risk a dance with the devil to catch an arsonist and find a missing girl. But the music comes with a price no honest cop can afford to pay.

By coincidence at the same restaurant as Acapulco's popular mayor, Emilia's date with hotel manager Kurt Rucker is cut short by an explosive fire that kills half of the mayor's security detail. Emilia is assigned to investigate what quickly is dubbed an assassination attempt on the politician.

Frightened by the fire and the raw emotion it has sparked not only inside herself but across the city, Emilia isn't helped by the men in her life. Her boss is more concerned with his own demons than hers, a new partner comes with a bad attitude, and Kurt Rucker could leave Acapulco for a lucrative new job in Belize.

When the involvement of the Mexican Army seems likely and would-be vigilantes post threatening videos on YouTube, Acapulco erupts with a wave of violent demonstrations. But even as pressure mounts for a fast arrest, Emilia remains bound by a promise to look for a girl who has disappeared from her own neighborhood. It doesn't take long before Emilia uncovers some nasty family secrets and turns to the city's most notorious hooker for answers, only to end up on the wrong side of a dirty Vice cop.

As fires, death threats, and the fallout from hasty decisions circle around her, Emilia will doubt both her skills as a detective and ability to survive amid the sharks. She'll start making deals for access and information, but the one she makes with the devil could be her last.

I released my Nanowrimo 2012 in May of this year!
