“Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar.”--E.B. White
As noted, the three writers who influenced me the most were Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Robert Heinlein--in fact, I dedicated The Aroma of Heaven to the three of them. There were many a long bus ride to and from school made much more pleasant reading not only Messrs. Asimov, Clarke and Heinlein, but also many other science fiction writers. Other favorite writers include, but are not limited to, Ray Bradbury, Arthur Conan Doyle, Margaret George, John Le Carré, Ursula K. Le Guin, Anne McCaffrey, James Michener, William Shakespeare, and Kurt Vonnegut. I hardly consider myself an artist (although I do pretend to be such in Rigatoni), but I do present my sketches of these writers for your amusement and bemusement. I hope I do all of them justice--both drawingwise and writingwise.
