Get Sonny

It’s starting to feel like all Elmore Leonard, all the time around here. What with us getting ready to give away a signed and numbered copy of his new book, Elmore Leonard’s 10 Rules of Writing. The next and natural question is: did he teach these lessons to his kids? According to The Bookseller, we’ll soon have the chance to find out:
Elmore Leonard’s son Peter has been signed by Faber in a two-book deal, starting with his début novel, Quiver. ...

Quiver is a first-rate contemporary thriller,” said [Faber editor Angus] Cargill, who believes that Leonard is a “powerful new voice” in crime fiction.
The same item reported that “Last month, Faber signed up Liam McIlvanney, son of author William.”
