Elmore Leonard in Borders Magazine circa 2002

Rule #10. Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip. – Elmore Leonard

 

Elmore Leonard was a HUGE inspiration for my first book Deathryde: Rebel Without a Corpse.There will never be another one like

Dutch. He was truly the “Dickens of Detroit.”

Back when Djibouti released, Elmore Leonard had a rare signing at Borders in MI. Now they’re both gone, but never forgotten.
