Jackson Hole Authors
Jackson Hole Authors
Jackson Hole is home to and has inspired many amazing authors, from the more famous like Olaus Murie, Larken Rose and Ted Keresote to up and comers like Lynn Sherwood and Megan Griswold. Something about the majestic Grand Tetons or the clean crisp air seems to bring inspiration to creative minds.
Resident Ted Keresote
Ted Kerasote, one of the most successful writers in Jackson, Wyoming, is the author of many books, including the national bestseller “Merle’s Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog” and “Out There: In The Wild in a Wired Age“, which won the National Outdoor Book Award.
Mr. Kerasote’s essays and photographs have appeared in Audubon, Geo, Outside, Science, The New York Times, and more than sixty other periodicals. Focusing on the interrelationship between people and nature, Ted’s writing continues to take him from the Arctic to Africa and many places in between.
His home, and the place he finds his peace and inspiration, remains Jackson Hole, the high valley that lies between the Teton and Gros Ventre mountains in northwestern Wyoming.

Resident Author – John Daily
Retired Teton County Deputy Sheriff turned scientific investigator John Daily wrote and published the definitive book on traffic crash investigation. This book is for the serious and bright investigator and is not a “casual Sunday read” for most of us. As John says, “Open to any page and start reading. I promise you will be asleep within 10 minutes.” This book is very “mathy” and has helped many traffic collision investigators around the word find truth.

Resident Author – Lynn Sherwood
A former ER and medical-surgical nurse and end-of-life caregiver for over 20 years, Lynn is now composing “101 Questions to Ask Grandma Before She Dies,” a book to inspire you to not only get to know your family better but also to prompt you to consider your own mortality ~ how you want to be cared for in the last stages of your life, and how might you share this gift of communication with other the people who love you. She is also seeking content contributors for “Traveling Ashes”, brought about as Lynn has been spreading her daughter’s ashes around the world, as Lauren had requested. “The beautiful and challenging ~ and the strikingly odd, questionably legal and sometimes ridiculously hysterical (!) ~ people are sharing touching and surprising stories of sprinkling, burying and even secretly hoarding the ashes of their loved ones; What’s your story?!”
