- Jack Ebling - Sports Writer & AuthorJack Ebling is one of my favorite columnist and authors. Being a MSU fan is hard because your emotions sometime can sway you from the truth. I always trusted Jack’s column and his books for telling me the good news along with the hard-time bad news that Michigan State goes through. He is one on my favorite Lansing authors. ~ John S.

- My Favorite Michigan Author: Elmore LeonardElmore John Leonard Jr. Author of Out of Sight and Get Shorty novels that led to sucessful film productions – a son of a General Motors (GM) worker, settled in Detroit, Michigan in 1934. Leonard, or "Dutch" has also been called "the Dickens of Detroit" because of his intimate portraits of people from that city. Leonard's ear for dialogue and ability to render dialogue on the printed page are uncanny and have been praised by many writers.
