Leonard's cool inspired generation of writers

FILE - In this March 31, 1983 file photo, writer Elmore Leonard sits by his typewriter at his home in Birmingham, Mich. Leonard, a former adman who later in life became one of America's foremost crime writers, has died. He was 87. His researcher says he passed away Tuesday morning, Aug. 20, 2013 from complications from a stroke. (AP Photo/Rob Kozloff) Peter Leonard first figured out his father was cooler than most anyone else at an early age, when he was crawling around under the church pew and noticed Elmore Leonard's ultra-mod ankle boots — you know, the kind with the zipper on the side — back in the 1960s.
