Some favor the McGee series, but most are quick to name a "little" book whose characters spoke to them as writers. Joe Lansdale was quick to mention SOFT TOUCH, but for a fun spin of back-to-back books read JohnD's END OF THE NIGHT then Lansdale's THE NIGHTRUNNERS. Add to Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and Ed -- writers offering who have heaped praises on JohnD's writings -- Lansdale, Michael Slade, the late Richard Laymon, Jack Ketchum, Tom Piccirilli, and Brian Hopkins.<BR/><BR/>Slow? Deliberate is a better description. Oh, what a writer could learn from such a master.<BR/><BR/>There are several MacDonald books I haven't read yet. I'm saving them for old age. :-)<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/>Judi RohrigJudi Rohrighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644731205323745687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-26414471313094565222008-01-05T18:21:00.001-08:002008-01-05T18:21:00.001-08:00I don't think it has to be either or, Patti.
