Hello! I recently read a book that happened to take place in Missouri, in an area that I have lived and I got really excited. I have lived in the KCMO area most of my life and I always get excited when I find authors from Missouri and Kansas so I decided I wanted to make a list dedicated to those authors. I’ve decided to also include books that take place in Missouri or Kansas, and by take place, I mean most of the story takes place here.

If you would like to suggest an author or book please leave a comment with the relevant info, please make sure to include which state they are from/in! I do ask that authors be from or currently living in Missouri or Kansas!

* The entire series, for the most part, takes place in St. Louis.
** This one just says Kansas City and for some reason I keep thinking it was KS.
*** Cole is in the STL Metro, and while technically in IL, I added her.
**** Zac has books published under the name Heather Brewer.
