I am going to read The Secrets of S. Murdoch by E.M. Rutledge, who is my niece! :)

that is so cool that you can read a book by your niece !

what is the definition for local author? is it someone who lives here currently or do authors who are from here but don't currently live here count?

A local author is someone who lives in the area currently.

I chose Looking for salvation at the Dairy Queen.

I ended up reading Double Whammy by Gretchen Archer.

i read the bookshop and the junlgest by robert l. perrine. i'm not sure where he lives but i bought it in the local authors section of the book store a few miles from my house. it was very good and i highly recommend it to fantasy fans and/or youth fans.

That is a great choice. This author did a local author visit to our library! Brynn wrote: "I chose Looking for salvation at the Dairy Queen."
