There are so many wonderful Northwest writers!  These are the ones that I can think of at the moment:

Nonfiction-Lauren Kessler, who wrote the Oregon Reads selection, Stubborn Twig. You have already had her on.

Robert Michael Pyle, who lives in Grays River, WA and writes about the natural history of SW Washington

John Kroger has written a book about his days as a federal prosecutor.  But he may be a bit busy at this time!

Jewel Lansing has written an interesting history of Portland

H.W. Brands has written some amazing biographies.  He grew up in Portland but no longer lives in the Northwest, so may not count.

In the fiction category--Sherman Alexie, Tom Robbins, Chuck Palahnuik, Ursula LeGuin, David Guterson
