The folks at the Indianapolis Library Foundation asked each of the finalists for the Emerging Author Award to write a blog post about how Indiana has influenced their writing. I struggled with that a bit, because I can’t say that my work is directly influenced by Indiana or Indiana writers. But as I thought about it more, I realized that much of my consciousness of books and writers developed when I was a kid in Indy, so this post is the result. See: My Indiana Influences on the Indiana Authors Award website.
