VJ Books Presents Author James Ellroy!
 James Ellroy was born March 4, 1948 in Los Angeles. He is an American crime fiction writer and essayist.
His L.A. Quartet novels, The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential, and White Jazz, have won numerous awards and are international bestsellers. His novel American Tabloid was Time magazine's Novel of the Year for 1995; his memoir, My Dark Places, was a Time Best Book and a New York Times Notable Book for 1997. His novel The Cold Six Thousand was a New York Times Notable Book in 2001.
