Goodreads says Yann Martel is a Canadian author, but has lived all over the world and was born in Spain. Does he work as a Canadian author for this task?
Mod
Yes, he works
May I get this book approved for this task?Rush Home Road by Lori Lansens
It says in the author information that she is a Canadian by birth, and this book appears to be set in a small Canadian town in Ontario just across the border from Michigan. The mythical town was the last stop on an Underground Railway path from the southern US

I just read A Spy in the House by Y.S. Lee. On GR main page it states that the author was born in Singapore, raised in Canada and lived a short time in England. I am assuming by this, it means that she still resides in Canada (her book has won recent Canadian awards), but as it does not state that she lives there now specifically I wanted to get permission to use this author for this task. Just have to be sure before I fill the only other task it would fit into. Thanks!
Mod
Yes, from the author's blog she lives in Kingston, Ontario
