¿Cuál fue la inspiración para tu pastiche “El secreto de la caja de sándalo”?
Soy tasadora de arte y antigüedades. Un día, después de estar trabajando en una tasación especialmente difícil, me encontré con muchos de mis libros de arte desperdigados sobre mi escritorio. De entre todos ellos, destacaba uno de arte egipcio con un precioso escarabeo del Imperio Nuevo en la portada. Pensé: “¿Y si su inscripción fuera la clave de un importante secreto?”. Y, entonces, de alguna manera, la historia surgió por sí misma y me encantó.
¿De qué trata la historia? ¿Cuándo y dónde tiene lugar?
La historia comienza en el Valle de los Reyes en Egipto en 1880, cuando un joven arqueólogo inglés descubre una tumba intacta. Tres años después, cuando los objetos descubiertos van a ser expuestos por primera vez en el Museo Británico, tiene un lugar un misterioso robo en el que desaparecen quince de ellos. Es entonces cuando Sherlock Holmes entra en la historia con el propósito de encontrar las piezas robadas, descubrir al ladrón y sus motivos.
Hay momias, ladrones de tumbas, aventura, amor y magia. Y, al final, Sherlock Holmes lo solventará todo… o tal vez no.
¿Qué crees que es lo que más les gusta a los lectores de tu historia?
Creo que es la combinación de arqueología, antiguo Egipto y Sherlock Holmes.
¿Cuál es tu historia favorita del canon y por qué?
Mi historia favorita es “El ritual de los Musgrave”, por la ambientación gótica y porque me encanta cómo Sherlock resuelve un misterio que se ha estado resistiendo durante siglos a través de una vieja fórmula, aparentemente sin sentido. De hecho, en el Círculo Holmes, la asociación sherlockiana de la que soy miembro y donde todos tenemos que elegir un nombre canónico al entrar, el mío es Rachel Howels, uno de los personajes de esta historia.
¿Cuál es tu lugar sherlockiano favorito?
No es estrictamente sherlockiano, pero sin duda es uno de mis lugares favoritos en el mundo: el Museo Británico. Está situado en Montague Street, donde Sherlock Holmes vivía antes de trasladarse a Baker Street. Así que no me cuesta imaginármelo paseándose por sus salas, sin saber aún que está a punto de convertirse en el detective más famoso del mundo.
Dinos tres cosas sobre ti que pocos adivinarían.
Mi ciudad favorita es Venecia, colecciono libros antiguos, aunque soy minimalista y uno de mis mayores deseos es hacer un viaje en el Orient Express. Quién sabe, quizás algún día…
¿Algún proyecto a la vista?
Sí, una nueva historia de Sherlock Holmes verá la luz en unos meses. Pero antes, hay una nueva novela no sherlockiana en camino. ¡Deséame suerte!

“Kim Krisco has captured Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s style in his novels about the enigmatic Sherlock Holmes. Rarely does a figure continue to live past the original writer’s time, but Krisco has managed a way to keep Holmes alive — much to the delight of this fan. In The Celtic Phoenix, Krisco treats us to an in-depth look into the lives of the ancient Celts and their intriguing ways, while at the same time entwining Holmes and Watson into the thick of things. An excellent read — an excellent author.”

Murder in the Library: A Mystery Inspired by Sherlock Holmes and One of His Most Famous Cases
Are librarians meek and mild bookish types with orthopedic shoes and granny glasses? Or are they ruthless killers with voracious appetites for wine, women, and song?
Can a young widow solve a murder with the help of a Chicago policeman and an affinity for Sherlock Holmes?
The Murder in the Library reveals all.
It is elementary, my dears.

What was the inspiration for your pastiche ‘El secreto de la caja de sándalo’?
Well, I am an art and antiques appraiser myself. One day I had been working on a especially difficult appraisal and when I finished it, many of my art books were on my desk, laying in a complete chaos. On the top of them there was one about Egyptian art, with a beautiful New Kingdom style scarab on its cover. I thought “what if this scarab had a powerful secret hidden in its inscription?” And somehow the story came to me and I loved it.
What is your story about? Where and when does it take place?
The story starts with the discovery of an intact ancient tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1880. Three years later, the discovered items are about to be exhibited in the British Museum but overnight 15 of these objects are mysteriously stolen. Then enters Sherlock Holmes, who will have to discover who took the artifacts and for what reason.
What do you believe readers will enjoy most about your tale?
The reviews I have received so far say that it is the combination of Archaeology, Ancient Egypt and Sherlock Holmes what readers liked the most.
Which is your favourite story from the canon and why?
“The Musgrave Ritual” because of the gothic atmosphere and because I love how Sherlock discovered the secret hidden for centuries. Actually, in the “Círculo Holmes”, the Spanish Sherlockian association I belong to, my canonic name is Rachel Howels, one of the characters of this story.
Your favourite Sherlock related place?
Not strictly Sherlock related, but definitely one of my favourite places in the world: the British Museum.
It is located in Montague Street, where Sherlock used to live before moving to Baker Street and I love picturing him wandering around the museum, still ignoring that he was about to become the greatest detective in he world.
Tell us three things about yourself that few people would guess?
Venice is my favourite city, I collect old rare books though I consider myself a minimalist, and my wilder dream is a trip on the Orient Express. Maybe someday…
Any upcoming projects?
Yes! There is an new Sherlock Holmes story coming in a few months. Wish me good luck!

“Amy Thomas’s latest Holmes-Adler adventure returns to the scene of her first: Fort Myers, Florida. This time, The Detective and The Woman are in search of a pirate’s treasure rumored to be buried on Sanibel Island, which they hope to find before it falls into the hands of a mysterious criminal known only as “the Baron.” Along the way, they encounter an entertaining cast of secondary characters, including an old friend from Fort Myers, a bland American intelligence operative, a hero-worshipping young woman, and a set of federal agents for whom Holmes plays the fool. Any of these people could be “the Baron” or his henchmen in disguise. The novel does a nice job of obscuring friend from foe until the action climaxes in a scene a bit reminiscent of one from Treasure Island. As always, Ms. Thomas’s depictions of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler are nicely drawn and faithful to the spirit of the Canon. She resists the temptation (which Baring-Gould and I could not) to carry their admiration for each other into outright romance. Another excellent outing in a series that I hope will long continue!”

The Norwood Author – Arthur Conan Doyle and the Norwood Years (1891 – 1894) by Alistair Duncan
Winner of the 2011 Howlett Literary Award (Sherlock Holmes book of the year) from the Sherlock Holmes Society of London.
During the 1891-1894 period Conan Doyle wrote and published much of his best work including the first two series of Sherlock Holmes short stories. This stunning book includes lots of never seen before material about the beloved creator of Sherlock Holmes.
“This book, alongside Duncan’s other two Doyle biographies, provides great insight into Doyle’s real-life during the period stretching from 1891 to his death in 1930. Much of this material has not been seen in the previous Doyle biographies, and that should be an extra treat for scholars who study the life of the man.” – David Marcum
“Fans of Sherlock Holmes know, more than anything, that the devil is in the details, and Alistair Duncan’s book is full of them. Details that shaped Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s life, writing, and the famous character that so many people love, are available is abundance, for those willing to seek them out. And I hope you do.” – Jaime N. Mahoney

Meet the world’s only swearing detective.
Swearlot Holmes of 221b is for bastard Baker Street, London. Thrill to excerpts and illustrations from many of his most curious cases such as ‘The Adventure Of The Sussex Swearwolf’ and ‘A Foul -Mouthed Cow In Belgravia’. In these dark, surreal and expletive-ridden examples, Swearlot proves not only is he a master of deduction, but a loquaciously lewd legend to boot. Each story is inspired by the original Strand magazine sketches. Written by (Dean) Earle Wilkinson, the writer of television’s SMTV Live and Chums and the console games LittleBigPlanet and Worms. With a career spanning decades he has written for the likes of John Cleese, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, and Harry Hill to name (drop) but a few.
“Incredible book! Absolutely laugh out loud funny! Will more than likely offend some traditionalists but even the jokes are done with a keen knowledge of Holmesian lore! I will be enjoying this book for a long time to come. Different, coarse, and hilarious! Loved it!” – Ben Cardall
The Adventures of Swearlot Holmes is available from all good bookstores including The Strand Magazine, Amazon USA, Barnes and Noble USA, Amazon UK, Waterstones UK and for free shipping worldwide Book Depository. Available on Audio.
“ A tough assignment for an art student would be to paint a cohesive painting by mixing the styles of two different artists. An example would be using both the style of Rubens and Picasso, or maybe Rembrandt and Van Gogh. Difficult, yes?
That is sort of what Kate Workman has accomplished with this stunning tale that mixes the world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the world of Gaston Leroux. The world’s greatest detective meets the mad genius of Erik, the Phantom of the Opera.
Holmes has reached a low point in his life. Having been seriously wounded in his right leg, Holmes has been told by Watson that he will need a cane for the rest of his life. Holmes is despondent and worries that he needs to retire.
Then a letter arrives from Paris. The new owners of the Paris Opera House, The Opera Populaire, are asking for aid. The Opera House is being held hostage by a phantom who demands monthly payments, a prime seat in the boxes, and occasionally suggests who should sing which role.
Having taken singer Christine Daae under his wing for private lessons, the Phantom wants her to be the star. When his demands are not met, he sends the heavy chandelier crashing into the stage and orchestra pit. He also hangs a man from the catwalks, scaring the entire opera.
Holmes learns that the Phantom has always been at the Opera House and that the former owner had no trouble, for he paid the Phantom’s monthly stipend and did not rent box five. The new owners are determined to defy the Phantom, even though they can afford to pay the stipend.
Join the battle of wits as Holmes beards the Phantom in his own lair beneath the Opera. Genius recognizes genius, and the two have more in common than either realizes at first. Like our art student, Kate Workman deftly wields both brushes, staying true to the Holmes tales and true to the Phantom, but making her masterpiece stand on its own. The twist ending is like the final flourish of brush on canvas, when the artist signs his work.
This novel is worth plus five out of five stars for the originality of the Holmes/Phantom blend! Encore!”
