I don't think Sharyn McCrumb is a Kentucky author but she is a well known Appalachian author.

She is an Appalachian writer but I've forgotten just where she's from.

Thanks, Jane.

|
I didn't find Ronni Lundy and Charles Patterson.
|
|
|
It's Charles Patteson, not Patterson, sorry. But I was looking for John Ed Pearce and Thomas Merton and couldn't find either.
|
|
|
I will add 2 more and call it quits for now! How about Hunter S. Thompson and Sena Jeter Naslunk both of Louisville?
|
|
|
Sena Jeter Naslund is a bham ala native, but lives and teaches at: University of Louisville, where Naslund is a Distinguished Teaching Professor, she also taught creative writing at the University of Montana, Indiana University-Bloomington and Vermont College. With her husband, physicist John C. Morrison, she served as 2003 Vacca Professor at the University of Montevallo, Alabama, and is currently the co-founder and program director of the low-residency Master of Fine Arts in Writing program at Spalding University in Louisville. She is also the editor of the literary magazine, The Louisville Review, and the Fleur-de-Lis Press.

Thanks uplandpoet!
|
|

Speaking of Hunter S. Thompson, has anyone out there read the book, Gonzo, by Jann S Wenner & Corey Seymour? Johnny Depp, another Kentuckian, wrote the forward. It's about Hunter Thompson's life and is told through interviews with those that knew him. Sounds good.
|
|
|
I can add two more: Dianne Aprile and Byron Crawford. Does Lily Tomlin count too?!
|
|
|
Did I miss John Ed Pearce? Sorry, it's late and I'm pooped! Hope all moms had a great mother's day!

Linda Bruckheimer (I think that's spelled correctly) is from Kentucky though lives in L.A. now and wrote Dreaming Southern. The main characters are from Kentucky and there are many mentions throughout.

Great! Our list is growing! Thanks everyone. Keep on adding to it.

I don't think I saw Diane Sawyer's name mentioned.
|
|
|
I've got to ask about a few others...The Judd ladies as well as Loretta Lynn all have authored books.

Me! ME! (Says the petite and very intimidated new kid in the back.)
I'm a Kentucky author, recently transplanted (kicking and screaming) to Virginia. My first book, a memoir entitled TRESPASSERS WILL BE BAPTIZED: THE UNORDAINED MEMOIR OF A PREACHER'S DAUGHTER was released this month. I would love to talk with your group about it, or any other Kentucky lit. It would help mitigate my incredible homesickness, if only a little bit.
Check out my website at www.elizabethehancock.com. I'd like to meet you.
Warmly,
Elizabeth

We forgive you for jumping ship and moving to VA, Elizabeth! I'm about to do the same, I think. Only I'm going to FL. I wintered there this past year. It's too much hassle keeping two homes up.
Thanks for sharing with us about your book.
|
|

I heard you on NPR the other day and recommended your book to my mother. I love the title. In your interview you said one thing that really stuck with me. Just write or you will loose the thought. Well that is a paraphrase. I look forward to reading it being a former preachers daughter myself.
