“Joe Lansdale is a master and Vanilla Ride proves it once again. Every page of this book brims with humor and character and most of all, kick ass story telling. Front to back, the satisfied smile on my face never went away.” – Michael Connelly
“Joe Lansdale is one of a kind. His Hap and Leonard novels should be read and treasured.” – James Swain, author of The Night Stalker
“Among the best fiction writers in America today, Joe Lansdale turns on the juice and cuts the damn thing loose. Enjoy the ride!” – Kinky Friedman, author of You Can Lead a Politician to Water, But You Can’t Make Him Think

February 4, 2010 at 3:03 pmI have enjoyed two of your books so far, Mucho Mojo and Vanilla Ride; soooo great! I have an idea that when you make a Leonard & Hap movie, that the perfect actors would be Michael Clarke Duncan and Josh Brolin. They’re who I clearly saw in my head while I read. Thanks!

Just caught this on my recently downloaded Tweetdeck. Thought I’d say hi. You may recall that it was me that interviewed you for ITW. It was my first as a contributing editor with them. Since then I have interviewed four other writers. I enjoyed talking to Caroline Carver (C.J.Carver) who was a panel guest at this year’s Thrillerfest. Bit like supping at the top table for me. Since interviewing you, I have left my publisher and will be bringing my own paperbacks to the market with Acclaimed Books Ltd. and Amazon.
Good luck!
Mick
