Born in Chicago, he attended Northwestern University and upon graduation went to work for the Associated Press, beginning a lifelong career in journalism that would include long periods at the \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAdvertising Age\u003c\/i\u003e. While at the \u003ci\u003eTribune\u003c\/i\u003e, Goldsborough began writing mysteries in the voice of Rex Stout, the creator of iconic sleuths Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin. Goldsborough's first novel starring Wolfe, \u003ci\u003eMurder in E Minor \u003c\/i\u003e(1986), was met with acclaim from both critics and devoted fans, winning a Nero Award from the Wolfe Pack. \u003ci\u003eArchie Goes Home\u003c\/i\u003e is the fifteenth book in the series. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLawrence Block (b. 1938) is a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America and an internationally acclaimed \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author. His awards include a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Private Eye Writers of America and the Cartier Diamond Dagger Lifetime Achievement Award from the Crime Writers' Association (UK). Although he is best known for his four main mystery series, Block explored a variety of genres, including thrillers and erotica, and developed an early following as a pulp-fiction writer under a number of pseudonyms. Born in Buffalo, New York, Block has three daughters and currently lives with his wife in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarvin Kaye (b. 1938) is the author of more than forty books. Born in Philadelphia, he attended college at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with advanced degrees in theater and English literature. After reporting for the national newspaper \u003ci\u003eGrit\u003c\/i\u003e for several years, he moved to New York City and found work in publishing. He published his first nonfiction book, \u003ci\u003eThe Histrionic Holmes\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1971, and followed it with the mystery novel \u003ci\u003eA Lively Game of Death\u003c\/i\u003e (1972), which introduced sleuthing public relations agent Hilary Quayle, Kaye's most famous character. In addition to five Quayle novels, Kaye has written and edited dozens of works of fiction and nonfiction. He is also one of the founders of the Open Book, New York City's oldest continuously operating reading theater. In 2010, the theater produced Kaye's \u003ci\u003eMister Jack\u003c\/i\u003e, a comedy about Don Juan. Before his retirement, Kaye taught creative writing at New York University, and regularly performed improvised comedy at the Jekyll \u0026amp; Hyde Club. \u003cbr\u003eLoren D.

Estleman has also won praise for his adventure novels set in the Old West, receiving awards for many of his standalone westerns. In 1993 Estleman married Deborah Morgan, a fellow mystery author.
