I just got in from the Left Coast Crime convention in Tucson,
where I had a great time, due in part to seeing a few
Rara-avians, including Maura and Dennis MacMillan, Reed
Andrus, and the usually lurking Patrick Milliken. It was
thanks to a recommendation by Partick and Jim Sallis that a
large group of us wound up at Nonie, a New Orleans-style
bistro run by Elmore Leonard's son Christopher. Just how
Elmore Leonard's son happens to be operating a New
Orleans-style bistro in the middle of the desert is probably
quite a story, but we didn't find out. He was quite a
gracious host, and he even took notes when some of the more
enthusiastic members of the group started recommending books
for him to read. He also looks, as Patrick and Jim had
promised, exactly like his father.
