Stephen King
Yes, the best-selling author who has never lived in Indiana nor has (at least as far as I can determine) ever written about Indiana nonetheless has a strong Indiana connection.
According to Haunted Heart a biography of King by Lisa Rogak, King is working with John Mellencamp on a collaborative musical called The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. Mellencamp, of course, lives in Seymour, Indiana -- about, as Mellencamp says, as "in the middle of nowhere" as King's Bangor, Maine, home.
