<<Also, I've recently found myself in a position where I have more time
to do pleasure reading, and I'm looking for some new authors to pick up.
Based on the above authors I listed, who would you recommend that I may
not have heard of? It's so difficult to pick up "new" authors who've
been out of print for 30 years, you know? Anyway, any help would be
truly appreciated. I look forward to at least one reply!>>

Just a few names off the top of my head:

Fred Willard (Down on Ponce)
Charles Willeford
James Lee Burke
James Sallis
James Crumley

Jon Jackson
