Buying Local

I decided it would be nice to write some reviews of books by Indiana authors. Now, I know better than to review my friends' books--so I didn't want work by WoOGI members. I went into the local Borders and wandered around until I found the local interest section. There was not a single fiction book in it. So I asked several staff members for names of writers from this town or state. I could not elicit a single recommendation. Apparently the staff member concerned with this sort of thing will be back in-store this afternoon, so I will try again. But my first impressions are... there is a need for this blog. Time to support local writers! I am starting a list, please let me know of any and all published writers in or from Indiana.
