The Hook by Donald Westlake. I highly recommend virtually all of his books.

Oh man, I had given up hope. Thanks Infamous Soldier!
I'm trying to find a short story or novella I read a several years back. It's about two authors: Author A is well respected and successful, but his career has stalled due to a bad case of writers block; Author B is writing really good stuff, but he got rejected too many times early in his career, and now he can't get publishers to take him seriously. Somehow they team up, publishing Author B's work under Author A's name. I don't really recall what happens after that, but I feel like they got into some shady stuff, maybe killing one or both of their wives? Possibly published as part of a larger anthology. Any help is appreciated.
