TASK HELP (FALL 2009) >
By Blood or Marriage (25.2)

Can anyone help me think up authors related by blood or marriage? So far the only ones I can think of are Jonathan Foer and his wife and the Bronte sisters.
See, and the only ones I can think of are Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark...And then there's Jahnna N. Malcolm, who is, in reality, a husband and wife who write together... which doesn't count....
Other than that, though... the only related authors I can think of are nonfiction religious authors. I'm specifically thinking of Gordon B. Hinckley and his wife Marjorie Pay Hinckley.
Paul Auster and his wife, Siri Hustvedt.And I'm about to post a question about this pair, Nick Hornby and Robert Harris are (or were, not sure) brothers-in-law. Don't know whether in-laws are counted.
And certainly, the Amises: Kingsley Amis and Martin Amis
And the Rices: Anne Rice and Christopher Rice
Stephen King and Joe Hill (father/son)Michael Chabon & Ayelet Waldman (husband/wife)
Dave Eggers & Vendela Vida (husband/wife)
Glen David Gold & Alice Sebold (husband/wife)

By the way, the woman in their lives, Tabitha King, is a writer too.
what about Faye Kellerman and author:Jonathan Kellerman|43626]husband and wife seems son Jesse Kellermanis writing too
and I also found Alafair BurkeJames Burkefather and daughter
I wonder if there is a way to search this?
I am not sure if it would count but I know that the House of Night books are written by a mother/daughter team P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast.

I think Kristen Cast only ever wrote in collaboration with her mother, but it would work great for task #5.8
I think Donna Jo's looking for a book written by each author on their own.
Robin McKinley and Peter Dickinson (wife/husband)Elizabeth Gilbert and Catherine Gilbert Murdock (sisters)
Margaret Atwood and Graeme Gibson (I would say this is a domestic relationship, though they are not officially married - an actual ruling would need to be decided on this one).Aurora Bernardez and Julio Cortázar (wife/husband).
Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley (husband/wife).
Mary Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft (daughter/mother).
F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Fitzgerald (husband/wife).
Emma Bull and Will Shetterly (wife/husband)George MacDonald Fraser and Caro Fraser (father/daughter)

Also, Owen King.
William F. Buckley, Jr. and Christopher Buckley (Father/Son)
Iris Murdoch and John Bayley (married)
Virginia Woolf and Leonard Woolf (married)
Virginia Woolf and Leslie Stephen (daughter/father)
Ellen wrote: "If you're into classics, there's the two Alexander Dumas', father and son. "
Woot wooot! Sorry, I get excited when people suggest my boys the Dumas'.

For this book co-authors do not count. The books should be separate.
I've also posted a list under Donna Jo's task, but feel free to use these other excellent suggestions.
