Autorenporträt
John Martin Aronian lll, MD, practiced general and transplant surgery at The New York and Cornell Medical Center until the year 2000. He and his wife, Dianne, also a physician, resided in Manhattan and had admitting privileges and teaching responsibilities at the hospital and medical school. After 30 years of practice Dr John retired to upper Westchester County in New York State where he pursued his many interests. Fishing had been his passion since boyhood and he was able to enjoy that in many forms and places. Using his surgical skills, he tied thousands of flies according to the places he visited and the varieties of fish in the waters. He began to write, at first about adventures had while building a home in Belize, and giving medical advice and supplies to the locals in that third world environment. Later, because family lived in Montauk, his imagination moved to this popular location. He was always a voracious reader and he began writing the 'Montauk Trilogy' in 2006, little suspecting that a pandemic would occur here and now. Looking back, his writing seems prophetic. Because he had had some ties with the Ecuadorian community, a story about the immigrant experience was natural. This again is a saga which continues to this day. The third novella in the Trilogy, stems from the many fishermen he has met over the years and the unfortunate hold that drug abuse has in our country. Love of nature, especially birds and gardening were key ingredients in his retirement repertoire. As well as sharing the bounty from his garden, he studied and purveyed fine wine. Generous and entertaining, he celebrated every day with family and friends. His death was untimely and unexpected but he led a full and happy life. This nature is reflected in his writing.
