I'll start off, I'm from Nebraska (dead center of USA, smack dab in the middle of nowhere! lol)

I'm in the frozen Tundra of Wisconsin!

I'm from over-priced New York City.

Southeast US - North Carolina

I'm originally from San Francisco (go 9ers) but now live in Santa Cruz, about an hour and a half south of The City. No coincidence that I set my mysteries in Santa Cruz, too.

I'm from England, and currently living in the beautiful Cotswolds :)

I am from Austin, Texas.

I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio

I'm from a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I am from Virginia - right around where the Domestic Diva books are set, so it's lots of fun for me to read them:)

New Jersey, home of the New York Giants!

Also from New Jersey, the home of the New Jersey Jets!

Didn't mean to slight the Jets but Giants had a great win this weekend.

I live in Nevada - yup!! Las Vegas to be exact.

No problem. I'm not a fan of either team or football.

I'm from North of Seattle where we have lots of snow.
Great reading weather

I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Wilton California

I've been in the Denver, CO, metro area for the past 34 years! (Born & raised in Dayton, OH, tho!)

Been living in Banning, Ca (near Palm Springs) for over 20 years and love rural life.

I've lived most of my life in Madrid, Spain.

Right now, I'm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, eating all the fresh-caught crabs, oysters, and fish I can manage! Yumm!

I am from the great state of North Dakota.

I am in the foothills of North Carolina.

I am from the island of Oahu, in Hawaii.

Born and raised in Florida, but I'm now living in Melbourne Australia, going on 5 years. (wombats, koalas and roos, oh my!)

It is now summer in Australia isn't it, Jennifer?

Yes, in fact currently it's a very toasty 93. Although last week it was only 66. Melbourne is a bit all over the place temp-wise, in summer. :)

Sunny (almost always) California. About 20 miles outside of Los Angeles in San Fernando Valley: the origin of Valley girls back in the 80s (?)

Wisconsin, Madison area.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Let me try again :) I'm from Ohio (somehow I got left out in the last update).

I am from Iowa. I work in Iowa City, a UNESCO City of Literature!

Somehow, I must have missed the previous posts in this thread entirely! I'm from South Bend, Indiana, home of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish!

Love seeing where everyone's from! I'm originally from Wisconsin (Milwaukee), but now live in Maryland.

Mary Ellen Hughes

I am from Italy, lived 10 years in Belgium, 3 in France, 2 in Germany, 15 in California and now Arizona.

Maria Grazia Swan
www.mariagrazia.tv

PS I go by Maria Swan in general, however there is a big Porno Star from Russia using that name, so I use my full first name on the web, for obvious reasons.

Born in Washington, DC--grew up in NYC, which is priceless!--spent 20's in Glens Falls, NY and have lived in Vermont for the past 30+ years. I consider myself from NYC but I guess for our purposes we'll have to say I'm from Vermont! LOL

This is a place to visit that is on my bucket list :) I have a brother who lives in Manly Beach. Hmmmm, do I see a visit in my future??

Pamela, I highly recommend it as worth every penny! But bring your fully packed e-reader along, cuz the flight is LONG! :)

I now live in mountains of western MD but mail goes to PO box in WV. Have lived in many states during life as a Navy wife, even lived in DFW area where most of my family still lives.

Do you live near the Eastern Continental Divide?

I tried this once before, but I don't see Indiana listed, so I'll try again:

I'm from South Bend, Indiana, home of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish!

Sounds just like our Ohio weather!

Emily, I live in Garrett Ct. which if you are familiar with the area is about 1/2 hr. southeast of Eastern Continental Divide depending on weather. Today we have about 6in. of new snow and tonight looks like we will be getting everything winter can throw at us, including half inch of ice and another 4 or so in. of snow..looks like another good reading or quilting day :)

I'm from Pennsylvania where we expect 4 to 6 inches of snow tomorrow. But I write about Chesapeake Bay (and read about anywhere!)

I lived in California. Southern CA to be exact.

Born in DC but mainly lived my whole life in Northern VA.

I'm from Athens, Greece.
