The following is a personality profile of Elmore Leonard based on his work.
Elmore Leonard is skeptical, inner-directed and analytical.
He is laid-back, he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. He is proud as well: he holds himself in high regard, satisfied with who he is. But, Elmore Leonard is also reserved: he is a private person and don't let many people in.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for discovery.
He is relatively unconcerned with both independence and taking pleasure in life. He welcomes when others direct his activities for him. And he prefers activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.
