Will Weaver is a Minnesota-based author with 27 books across a wide range of categories. His Billy Baggs series (Striking Out, Farm Team, Hard Ball) follows a young ballplayer growing up on a farm, mixing sports fiction with coming-of-age themes. The Motor series (Saturday Night Dirt, Super Stock Rookie, Checkered Flag Cheater) does something similar with dirt-track racing. Both are aimed at younger readers and feel rooted in small-town, rural life.
Weaver also has a pair of dystopian novels in the Memory Boy series, several standalone novels including Red Earth, White Earth (1986) and Power & Light (2023), and the Minnesota Byways non-fiction books about barns, courthouses, schoolhouses, and libraries across the state. His short fiction collections and anthology contributions add more variety to the catalog.
The range here is wide, from young adult sports fiction to literary novels to regional non-fiction. What ties the work together is a consistent interest in rural America and the Upper Midwest.
