I haunt cemeteries. Being a mystery writer\, I’m in love with the unfathomable. What’s more unfathomable than death and how people meet it? I live in my hometown\, New York City. I love its change of seasons\, its architecture\, its skyline\, its buzz\, its food\, its ethnic\, age\, sexual orientation\, capitalist\, socialist mix. Should I go on? It’s all in my police procedurals\, “The Lemrow Mystery” and “Graphic Lessons\,” as well as my website where I write a weekly blog\, NY MYSTERIES. I attend a liberal church\, am a member of a left wing political group\, belong to a conservative social club and did part-time work in a museum that was founded by a staunch capitalist. Go figure! Maybe having had a socialist father and social climbing mother has something to do with it. \nA J Sidransky \nA J Sidransky has published four novels since 2013.
