-- not fantasy -- way to bring Sherlock Holmes into our world...this is a Holmes who
has to adjust to being rudely extracted, plunged into the 21st Century with no way
to return...here is the real Holmes, at the height of his powers, in 21st Century
America, much as I would imagine he would be...But he's still Holmes, and I found
the series well worth reading. Recommended."

Stephanie Osborn's Displaced Detective series, you should know that it comes
from a place of vast reading experience... I was smitten with her version
of Holmes, who springs off the page as a fully-realized character in his own
right...Dr. Skye Chadwick is pretty impressive herself. Smart, funny, talented --
she's the kind of woman many of us who were geek girls before being a geek
was cool wanted to become.
and well developed (I really love Braeden Ryker), but characters aren't the
only element of any story, there has to be a compelling plot as well, and these
mysteries have that in spades...Osborn's writing makes a tesseract that
connects real and fictional continua seem completely plausible.

over the years, Holmes has become a stereotype of sorts, and I wanted to make him
real for people again. According to Esther Willson, I managed it:

Skye is cool too and their relationship helps make the multiverse a less lonely place."

I am the Keeper of the Ritual, and the web designer for www.nashvillescholars.net.
I get Sherlockian books in the mail from lots of people eager to use our website as a
launching pad for their books. Often I am disappointed in what I read, feeling that the
author really has little understanding of what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was all about
with his Sherlock Holmes stories.
double book story about Holmes in the future not just because she IS a rocket scientist,
but because she has a firm grasp of storytelling, character, dialogue, and imagination.
She also understands how to handle Holmes in plotting his actions in another time. I
found The Case of the Displaced Detective a marvelous read, and will relish further
Sherlockian stories from this talented writer.

Writing The Case of the Displaced Detective: At Speed
Sherlock Holmes -- now up to speed in his new life, in a new century, and a new spacetime
continuum -- and Dr. Skye Chadwick -- world-class hyperspatial physicist as well as Holmes'
liaison and new "Watson" -- face the next challenge. How do they find and arrest the members
of this diabolical spy ring when they do not even know what the ring is trying to accomplish?
And how can they do it when Skye is recovering from no less than two nigh-fatal wounds?
between Holmes and Chadwick are due to something more than the occasional clash of demanding,
eccentric personalities. Chadwick has already long since acknowledged to herself that she has
fallen in love with Holmes. Knowing his predilection for eschewing matters of the heart, however, she
struggles to hide it, in order to maintain the friendship they DO have, preferring said friendship to
total alienation. Holmes also feels attraction -- but fights it tooth and nail, refusing to admit to the fact,
even to himself. After all, it is not merely Skye's work that the spies may be after -- but her life as well.
Having already lost Watson to the vagaries of spacetime, could he endure losing another companion?
is after the tesseract? And -- most importantly -- can they stop it?
negotiations are complete. Date of release is in work.
