discovering Elmore Leonard
Hello everyone.
What a fabulous week! A new reader of mine (That makes at least 2 now) has introduced me to a great new author I was not previously aware of. Actually, that's not true. I was aware of his work but not his name, although mostly through movies. I would never have realised that films like '3:10 to Yuma' had originally been penned by the same person that wrote 'Get Shorty' and the book on which Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown' was based, were it not for a gentleman leaving me not only a 5* review for Burnt Toast and Bent Noses, but also commenting that it reminded him of the work of Elmore Leonard. So a wholehearted 'thank you' for both. Also, seeing as I'm in blogging mode, my next book, Pigs in Paradise, is now written and being edited as we speak. I will let you all know when it is due to appear, probably early August.
Cheers, Ed Halliday

What shall I do now?
So, the new book is finished!
Pigs in Paradise is being edited and made pretty before it is inflicted on the general public, which renders me a bit redundant for the minute!
What shall I do to occupy my time? Movies? Lounging in the sun? Enjoy a good bottle of wine? Sounds good, but it will hardly occupy me for any length of time (although I shall definitely give that last one a go anyway!).
I know what, I could write a book!
More mayhem and murder anyone? Coming right up!
Cheers, Ed Halliday
