Elmore Leonard, one of the great modern crime novelists, died today at the age of 87. You can read more here. Highly recommended: Leonard's essay on writing, "Easy on the Adverbs, Exclamation Points and Especially Hooptedoodle").
(Thanks, BoingBoing!)
I really did enjoy "Easy on the Adverbs, Exclamation Points and Especially Hooptedoodle" and would recommend reading it! It's too bad that I hadn't heard of Elmore Leonard until now.
