Author Information

(The following authors all met and posted their work originally on the Holmesian.net forum. Please note that this is not an official Holmesian.net product.)

Karyn Anderson
Karyn is an aspiring novelist with an avid interest in the Sherlock Holmes universe. She was first introduced to the famous detective via the much-loved Granada series’ interpretation of “The Musgrave Ritual.” Karyn is a graduate of Oakland University, Michigan, and someday hopes to write creative novels for a living.

Emalee Andrulewicz
Emalee lives in Savannah, Georgia with her parents, sister, and three cats. She has written twenty- eight stories for fanfiction.net, but “Nightmares” and “Reflection” are the only two published in any book form.

Mike B
A SoCal survivor living in California since 1953. Read the whole Canon in a fortnight and was inspired to write a few poems and other things. He hopes (and succeeds) to put a sense of immediacy in the poetry and give the reader the same thrill of discovery that he experiences when doing the writing. My opinion is that he does.

Emily Bradford
Emily is 21 and lives in Wisconsin, and is a writer and a violinist who is studying to become a musicologist. She read her first Holmes story at the age of ten and keeps us all on her toes with her insights and startlingly good tales.

Nancy Clifford
Nancy’s temporal home is Texas. Her spiritual home is rather larger. The whole connection to Sherlock Holmes is too complicated to pinpoint. He has been on the periphery of her awareness as long as she can remember, but only became an obsession in the past few years. Nancy joined the Holmesian.net forum on Halloween 2008 although we attach no significance to the date! An avid reader and intelligent writer.

Jennifer Emerson
Jennifer Emerson has had a life-long interest in English and American literature (particularly of the 19th century), and grew up watching both the Rathbone/Bruce & the Granada incarnations of Holmes and his Boswell. Some of her favourite authors are Charles Dickens, George Gordon Lord Byron, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Washington Irving and Edgar Allan Poe. One of her two current efforts includes research into the Holmes Canon for a collection of short stories centred around Dr. Watson. The other is a historic fiction novel-in-progress dealing with reform methods for London prostitutes in the Victorian Era. She has a decade of experience in the field of 19th century living history, and enjoys sharing little titbits and musings on her blog.

Gwendolyn Frame
Gwendolyn is a relatively recent convert to Sherlock Holmes, but already she is a firm believer. She draws inspiration from the works of a few talented fellow fans, as well as from the performance of Jeremy Brett. Her own Sherlockian collection of stories, ‘At the Mercy of the Mind’, is available on Kindle.

Sarah Hook
Sarah lives in Missouri and finished her master’s degree in elementary education over a year ago. She loves to write, read, and watch television. Sarah is going somewhere, but she doesn’t know where - and hopes to live in another country someday, mainly because she thinks life is too short and the world is too small not to.

Kathryn Waldron-Hyden
Kathryn is not really a waitress, but rather an aspiring writer with a love of history, food and a darn good mystery novel. Her dream is to write full-time and complete that stupid novel that’s been sitting on her hard-drive since forever. Currently studying in Germany. She says.

Venessa Koch
Toronto born and raised, Venessa Koch has been a Holmes fan since 1996. With a BFA achieved June 2012 she looks to going into theatre or film as a scenic artist or props person. This silly quasi-redhead loves a good pun, horses, science, and dinosaurs. She’s absolutely terrified of butterflies. Future plans include owning a DeLorean. Time will tell methinks.

Ursel Matuschke
Ursel was born in 1968 in Osnabrück, Germany, studied law at the universities of Osnabrück and Bayreuth/Germany and is a lawyer since 2001. She loves taking photos, reading, writing, drawing, painting, cats and she is very interested in psychology.

Elisabeth Moore
Elisabeth is a British student hoping to study English Literature at university next year. She lives in the UK in leafy Surrey. She splits her allegiance between Sherlock Holmes and the world of P G Wodehouse. Seems a perfectly sound pairing to me.

Jennifer Kathleen O’ Boyle
Jennifer Kathleen O’Boyle has been a fan of Arthur Conan Doyle since she unearthed a copy of The Sign of Four in her parent’s garage when she was ten years old. She currently lives in Western New York with an energetic pup, a finch of one note, and silent fish.

Ashley Polasek
Ashley is an honorary English Canadian-born American member of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London. Her love of film and literature has led her into that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained: academia. She is earning her PhD at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, researching the endurance of Sherlock Holmes in film and television and will be a Doctor of Sherlockiana by 2013. All previous Holmes-related publications are academic and are therefore as dry as a monograph on cigarette and cigar ash. She hopes her efforts at fiction and poetry are a bit livelier. Owns up to liking Barry Manilow. Brave girl.

Carolanne Roe
Carolanne is a Sherlock Holmes obsessive living, eating, drinking and very occasionally working in the West of Scotland. With a passion for Archaeology, computer games and cuddly toy owls, none of which, you will be glad to know, have any bearing on the Holmesian related fiction she writes.

David Rowbotham
David is a practical engineer by profession and a hopeless romanticist by nature. He is in a perpetual conflict which is bought sharply into focus by the efficient precision of Sherlock Holmes in a brooding gas lit rain swept Victorian London. He is married to a J. Watson lest you doubt his Holmesian credentials.

David Ruffle
David lives in the UK on the south coast where he has perfected the art of cider drinking. A lifelong Sherlock Holmes fan, he published his first pastiche in 2010, ‘Sherlock Holmes and the Lyme Regis Horror’, and a further collection of stories and drabbles direct to Kindle in 2011. Sherlock Holmes and the Lyme Regis Legacy followed in early 2012, published by MX Publishing. He is rather hopeful there may be more to come. He is a member of The Sherlock Holmes Society of London. Seems they take anybody these days!

Jane Smith
Jane is a recent college graduate who has had a lifelong passion for all things Holmesian. She enjoys epically battling with college, writing stories and poetry, drawing very amateur cartoons, consuming vast amounts of fiction, playing and listening to classical/Romantic music, wandering aimlessly and pondering the improbable. She leads a busy, busy life in the USA, but finds the time to write the odd occasional piece to the delight of all on Holmesian.net….something all the members are very grateful for.

Grace Smoczyk
Grace has been a Holmesian for about 7 years and greatly enjoys scratching together stories whenever time permits.(Too infrequently for members of Holmesian.net). She also enjoys playing the violin. She works as a Massage Therapist and lives in the upper Midwest. Which is somewhere.

Andrea Stigdon
Andrea was born in Austin, Texas and was raised in the small, suburban town of Georgetown. A graduate of Southwestern University in Georgetown, Andrea’s works have been shown in international juried exhibits at the Period Gallery in Omaha, Nebraska; the Limner Gallery in New York City; the Canton Artist’s Guild in Canton, Connecticut; the Art Association of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; the Associated Artists of Winston-Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina; the Rockwall Artist League in Rockwall, Texas and the Visual Arts Society of Texas in Denton, Texas. Her artwork has been displayed in Art Encounter Gallery in Richardson, Texas and in Anthurium Art Gallery in McKinney, Texas. Andrea has been interested in Sherlock Holmes mysteries since she was a child and has recently become more intere
