Everyone knows about Maine author Stephen King. That he's done well is an understatement, and in Maine, he has a Blvd. named after him in Augusta and has an incredible house in Bangor.
There are, however, other Maine authors who would love that type of recognition, I'm sure.
The first author I'm following and reading avidly is Gerry Boyle : http://www.gerryboyle.com/. He is a mystery writer and has two series -- Jack McMorrow and Brandon Blake. His latest book is Damaged Goods in the McMorrow series, and I'm busy reading Port City Shakedown in the new Brandon Blake series.
Gerry is an incredible writer and person. He will talk to you about writing and go out of his way to make you feel positive about the writing experience.
His mysteries are great learning tools because everything you wanted to write in a mystery is in there. His characters are real, his dialogue credible and his descriptions are top-notch.
If you want to read something by an author who should be a household name, check out any of Gerry Boyle's books. They're excellent to read and are great to study if you are a writer. Knowing Gerry, he probably had no intention of people studying or dissecting his books, but I hope he does become a household name soon. http://www.gerryboyle.com/. Great writer, and I'm proud to call him a friend.
Next up -- Maine's own Tess Gerritsen.
