Who are some of your favourite Canadian authors? Remember to share the author's website if available, instead of an Amazon link. Your local library may have a lot of Canadian books too!

I saw a Silverwing book by Kenneth Oppel at a clearance sale and that took me on a nostalgia train. Looked him up and I didn't realize he's quite a prolific Canadian author!

Not sure if its all YA/easy reading, but that's what I grew up with. Both the Silverwing series and Airborn are top notch for that sorta thing and still hold up well for a re-read occassionally.

Robert J. Sawyer! He's a sci-fi author and many of his books are based in Canadian cities.

I really liked FlashForward and The Neanderthal trilogy.

Oh thanks for this, I was actively looking for new sci fi

TIL Brendan Fraser narrated the audio version of his newest book, The Downloaded, and it looks like it's set in Waterloo.
