Elmore Leonard

Writer -- via the New York Times. One of the most successful genre writers in American history, he specialized in Old West stories, the moved into hard-boiled crime fiction. He could not only writer a story, he could invest it with sharp observation, humor, and an affable, world-weary wisdom. Proof that you can be popular and write well at the same time! Among his writings are numerous titles that became classic films, including "3:10 to Yuma," "The Tall T," "Hombre," "Valdez is Coming," 52 Pickup," "Get Shorty," and "Jackie Brown."
