I'm pretty busy right now so would have to keep the emails
but I won't have time to collate anything for at least a
week, but I'll be willing to keep track if nobody else
volunteers since I suggested it
. I'll second the nomineees above and nominate Elvis
Cole,(Robert Crais) Travis McGee, (John D McDonald) and
Michael Schaefer. (Thomas Perrry's Butcher's Boy and Sleeping
Dogs), Mitch Tobin(Westlake writing as Tucker Coe.)
A ground rule that I think is needed: If you nominate
somebody you have to include the author and/or the name of
the book, or if the character is more than one book, the
series.
If I wind up doing it, I'd only want nominees initially. I
would then produce a list to be voted on so people should not
suggest someone who already has already been nominated as of
now. Mark
