Elmore Leonard was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, October 11, 1925. In 1947, Elmore Leonard became an ad writer but wrote Western stories on the side, selling mostly to pulp magazines. He chose westerns because he liked western movies and wanted to sell to Hollywood. He wrote five western novels and thirty short stories in the 1950s, two of which sold to the movies: '3:10 to Yuma' and 'The Tall T'.
After five years away from writing fiction, Leonard finished his first non-Western novel, 'The Big Bounce', buoyed by the sale of film rights to his novel 'Hombre'. He grew in stature and turned out well-received novels such as 'Killshot', 'Maximum Bob' and 'Get Shorty', which was made into a hit movie. Two more successful film adaptations followed: 'Jackie Brown' (based on 'Rum Punch') and 'Out of Sight'.
In 2005, at the age of 80, he wrote his fortieth novel, 'The Hot Kid', featuring his iconic marshal, Carl Webster, receiving some of the best reviews of his long career.
Recently, inspired by the first season of the television series 'Justified' (based on his novella 'Fire in the Hole'), Elmore wrote his 45th novel, 'Raylan'. Parts of this novel have been incorporated into the second and third season of 'Justified'. “I can pick up Raylan’s story anywhere,” Elmore said. It’s like visiting with an old friend.”
