Greetings and Salutation One and All!
I thought I would just break into everyones busy schedule and
introduce myself.
My name is Andrew, and I am new to this list. I registered
yesterday to be precise.
I am an analytical chemist by trade, and an amateur
artist/writer by choice. I am currently working on a second
degree in fine art and illustration. I am voracious reader,
and my fiction choice is typically mysteries, with Sci-fi and
Fantasy pulling in a close 2nd and 3rd.
I have always loved Dorothy L. Sayers' and Agatha Christie's
books, but became irrevocably hooked on the mystery genre
after reading "A Whiff of Death" by Isaac Asimov. My tastes
have led me to a preference towards such characters as Travis
McGee, Mike Hammer, Lew Archer, Sam Spade, and even Spenser.
In that order no less.
I reside in the barren, cornfield infested region of SE Iowa,
somewhere to the left of Nowhere, USA and south of Buggywhip,
IA.
I look forward to exchanging ideas, reviews and comaraderie
(sp?) with fellow mystery and hardboiled detective buffs. If
anyone has any questions of me, feel free to ask. I would
welcome the opportunity to get acquainted.
Merry Christmas and God Bless, Andrew
