Post by: bijou on August 07, 2013, 10:33:35 AM

US crime writer Elmore Leonard, author of such books as Get Shorty, Maximum Bob and Out of Sight, is in hospital in Detroit following a stroke.

Gregg Sutter, the author's researcher, said the stroke happened last week, adding Leonard was "better every day".

"He's a fighter," said Mr Sutter of the 87-year-old, saying the author's family was "guardedly optimistic".

I hadn't realised he was that age.  Hope he recovers well.

I have never read any of his books, but I love Justified that is based on one of his stories.
