Happy Tuesday, y’all! This week, Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl is asking us to share things that make up our perfect day. It probably sounds really sad, but I can’t think of much to say. I enjoy spending time with my husband and my kids. What we do on those days can be almost anything. So instead, this week I’m continuing my alphabet challenge focused on author names. Today, we’ll look at ten “D” author names.
You can find the “A” authors here, the “B” authors are here, and the “C” authors are here. All the authors’ images come from their websites, linked to their names. I’ve also included a book by the author.
Now let’s look at ten “D” author names!
Abi Daré
Daré grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, and uses her experiences to tell stories of strong female characters.
MaryJanice Davidson
Davidson is best known for writing paranormal romances. Sleeping with the Fishes features a mermaid who’s also a marine biologist.
Tracy Deonn
Deonn is a fangirl who wrote the books she wished she could read as a teen. The Legendborn Cycle follows Bree Matthews as she learns more about herself and her family’s connection to King Arthur.
Kate DiCamillo
DiCamillo writes books that get kids excited to read. Kids can easily connect with her characters and see themselves on the pages of her books.
Cherie Dimaline
Dimaline incorporates her Indigenous background into her stories. She writes young adult (Marrow Thieves) and adult (Empire of Wild).
Erin Dionne
Dionne writes books for kids and parents alike. No matter your age, you’re likely to see yourself in the pages of her books.
Ian Doescher
Inspired by Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and his love of Star Wars, Doescher wrote the Star Wars stories as if Shakespeare told them.
Trish Doller
Emmeline Duncan
Duncan’s preferred genre is cozy mysteries. She also writes YA novels as Kelly Garrett.
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif
Duvernay-Tardif knows what he wants and works hard to achieve it. How so? He attended medical school while playing in the NFL. Red Zone looks at his decision to step away from the NFL for a season and help those who needed it most during the pandemic. He was my favorite player on my least favorite team.
That’s ten authors I’ve read and enjoyed, with “D” names! Have you read any of these authors with “D” names? Any “D” author names you would recommend I read?

Spending time with one’s spouse is fun! 🙂
I must be very out of the loop because the only author I recognize from that list is Kate DiCamillo. LOL. I agree that spending time with your spouse is always a great day. I love doing that with mine too.
I recognise a few authors, I enjoyed Davidson’s Undead series several years ago.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
You included two of my favorites—Abi Daré and Kate DiCamillo!
With exception to Trish, I think these are all new to me authors which means maybe the discovery of some new authors. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my list today.
I remember my son liked Edward Tulane a long time ago. I haven’t read any of these! I do enjoy these Alphabet posts regardless of who does them. I learn of so many interesting, new-to-me books.
Isn’t it fun and exciting to find new-to-me books?
Always!
These look good. The only author I’m familiar with is MaryJanice Davidson.
I have only read Trish Doller and I enjoyed the ones I read! I also really just like spending time with my husband my kids as well and any number of things can make up a really good day!
Seeing The Total Tragedy of a Girl Names Hamlet on your list just took me way back. I never read it, but do remember seeing it everywhere at one point.
I actually heard about it through my daughter’s school planner one year. Every week there was a book recommendation, and I tried to read the ones that were available to me through the library.
I get that spending time with family is a great day, I feel the same way. I’ve read three of these authors with one on my TBR.
I need to catch up on Cherie Dimaline! 🙂
I’ve read a couple of her books, and enjoyed them a lot. I hope to read more of her stuff soon.
A great list. It’s nice to know a bit about the people behind the book.
Have a great week!
I think these are ALL new-to-me authors! Thanks for sharing 🙂
You’re welcome!
I love your alphabet series! Thanks for sharing!
The alphabet series are such fun posts to put together! I’m glad you enjoy reading them.
I’ve read (and loved) Trish Doller’s books!
I’ve only read The Suite Spot, but I do have a couple of others on my TBR to get too.
Great subject choice Pam. I wasn’t feeling the subject this week either!
Happy reading!📚💜
I like your new prompt! Got me thinking just how many authors *I* know with D names… Back in the day when I’d use the physical library more often (and search through endless stacks of books for author’s last names), I think this type of prompt would have been easy! But now I’m totally drawing a blank
Thank goodness for Goodreads!
I love Kate DiCamillo!
I’ve been meaning to get to Chaos at the Lazy Bones Bookshop this month! Maybe soon…
Not sad at all. The way we live can be very happy. Looks like some neat books on your list. Enjoy!
