Definitely a pre-'58er here. Born in '50, read sf through
high school, Louis L'Amour and Thomas Wolfe through the
Marines, and discovered Chandler in college, which led to
Hammett, Harris, Stout, Kaminsky, and belatedly Ross
Macdonald. Wrote my one and only published mystery for Alfred
Hitchcock Magazine in '81, then wrote for the revived Alfred
Hitchcock TV series in '86-'87. Wrote a PI screenplay set in
the Forties a couple of years back, which I am leisurely
turning into a novel. And that's my mystery history. Unless
you count playing lots of detectives in movies and tv.
