About the Blogger
I review Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance books with a focus all things werewolf. Based out of Ottawa, Canada
Owner, designer and main blogger behind Rabid Reads. Avid book reader, snowboard bunny, video gamer and Supernatural fan. I love all things paranormal, werewolves especially. Oh, and I’m Canadian, eh!
I absolutely love Dave Bidini, especially his TROPIC OF HOCKEY and ON A COLD ROAD books. When he approaches a subject, it never ends up being JUST about that subject. Hockey becomes the means to identity in places like Dubai and China, not just Canada; a rock tour becomes the place to consider loneliness, identity, and even world politics. Plus, there are always the funniest and craziest anecdotes from the most unexpected sources along the way.

I haven’t read a lot by any one Canadian author to give much of an informed opinion, but I’ll say Ian Rogers as I’ve read a fair bit of his work and enjoyed all of it a great deal.

I really have to say L.M. Montgomery for the Anne of Green Gables series. But Kelley Armstrong is right up there too.

There are a number of great authors from Canada, some of my favorites are Michelle Rowen, Lynsay Sands, and Kelley Armstrong.
Kelley Armstrong rocks the house, but there are MANY Canadian writers who bring the paranormal to life in romance and urban fantasy. Eve Langlais, Stacey Kennedy, Maureen McGowan and Linda Poitevin, to name a few.
I’d have to say Kelley Armstrong – I’ve read almost all of her books! Thanks for this amazing giveaway – I would love to win!
