Elmore Leonard
Elmore John Leonard Jr. (born October 11, 1925), better known as Elmore Leonard, is an American novelist and screenwriter. His earliest published novels in the 1950s were westerns, but Leonard went on to specialize in crime fiction and suspense thrillers, many of which have been adapted into motion pictures.
Among his best-known works are Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Hombre, Mr. Majestyk and Rum Punch, which was filmed as Jackie Brown. Leonard's short stories include ones that became the films 3:10 to Yuma and The Tall T, as well as the current TV series on FX, Justified.

Stephen King has a non-fiction piece in Entertainment Weekly magazine August 30, 2013 issue page 19. It is entitled "Elmore Leonard 1925-2013- Reflections On a Criminal Mastermind."
I wish I'd gotten my hands on that issue of Entertainment Weekly. Did anyone get it? In time, I think we will be able to read the article on EW's website, but right now I can't find it.
