Upland authors
The cold winds are starting to blow again.
So, by following Forum posts (thank you all) and looking elsewhere, I have assembled a non-alphabetical and desultory list of North American "Upland" authors.
Please feel free to add, comment or challenge my entries or the notes -- my notes or those I have derived from Forum and other sources.
