ELMORE

There is a new book!

The Hot Kid.

Something different. 1920's in Oklahoma. I think the 'hot kid' is a new US Marshall.

It is a little bit Bonnie and Clyde so far but with the spin that only Leonard could put on it.

Elmore is near 80 already. He has made a turn here to a period piece. He has done one on the Spanish American war. This is just after.

He used to write westerns so it is also a bow to his past.

I met him once at a book signing. In Chicago. He looks just like this. We have something in common and talked about it some.

There was a line but he didn't mind and neither did I.

I was just halfway into the book he was signing for so he put his thoughts right there in the middle. A nice keepsake.
