I'm still surprised at how many of my writer friends aren't familiar with his name, but I think that'll change at some point. I recall that it took Nelson DeMille a long time (probably a dozen novels or so) to become well-recognized.

It was a display problem, so (thankfully) there was no need to restore files, etc.--but the very fact that my 'puter was gone for so long was a challenge. Like good health, we take conveniences for granted until we don't have them anymore.<br /><br />As I said to Janice, I think you'll enjoy JRL's fiction. If you have a choice, start with <i>Edge of Dark Water</i>, <i>The Bottoms</i>, or <i>The Thicket</i>. They're sort of a mixture of historical fiction, crime fiction, Southern fiction, and adventure.

I can't confirm that, but I know I've loved them ever since I was tall enough to climb the wooden steps of the old movie house in our small town, back in the 50s. Wish I'd spent more time studying . . .
