About the Author:

In May of 2014 the Sherlock Holmes Society of Canada – better known as The Bootmakers (www.torontobootmakers.com) – announced a contest for a new Sherlock Holmes story. Although he had no experience writing fiction, the author submitted a short Sherlock Holmes mystery and was blessed to be declared one of the winners. Thus inspired, he has continued to write new Sherlock Holmes mysteries since. In real life he writes about and serves as a consultant for political campaigns in Canada and the USA (www.ConservativeGrowth.net), but would abandon that pursuit if he could possibly earn a decent living writing about Sherlock Holmes. He currently writes from Toronto, Tokyo, and Manhattan. Craig Stephen Copland is a dedicated Sherlockian living and writing in Toronto, New York and Tokyo. His New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries retain all the old characters, the old settings, and the beloved evil plots and scientific deductions of the original Sherlock Holmes stories.
