Welcome to the canonical list of books by kossacks (or former kossacks or close relatives of kossacks). Last week we blasted through the 200 author mark and more are still being added each week.
As usual, if you know of any any authors who I am missing, respond in the comments or send me email. Please be sure to let me know whether you would like your dkos ID included or if you would prefer to be added anonymously.
Don't forget, if you like to talk about books, be sure to check out the weekly diary series What Are You Reading and Bookflurries. For writers, check out the new series: Write On!.
A special shout out to the newest additions to the list: Jill Richardson and Edwin Black.
