Echoes of Sherlock Holmes: Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon



TASHA ALEXANDER first discovered Sherlock Holmes when she was ten years old and stumbled upon the stories when making her way systematically through the stacks in the South Bend Public Library. She immediately read them all twice and was entirely convinced Holmes was an actual person. She is the New York Times bestselling author of the Lady Emily Series and, when walking in Baker Street, still feels a twinge of regret that Holmes was fictional (or so she understands). www.tashaalexander.com DANA CAMERON’s relationship with Sherlock Holmes has always been tempestuous. She went from being terrified out of her wits by “The Speckled Band,” to consuming the canon as a teenager living in London, to currently being obsessed with Mycroft Holmes (she is a founding member of the Diogenes Club of Washington, D.C., a scion of the Baker Street Irregulars). Dana writes fiction inspired by her career as an archaeologist; in addition to six Emma Fielding mystery novels and three “Fangborn” urban fantasy adventures, she has written more than twenty short stories (including the Sherlockian pastiche, “The Curious Case of Miss Amelia Vernet”). Several of those stories feature colonial tavern-owner Anna Hoyt, who has a small role in “Where There Is Honey.” Dana’s work has won multiple Anthony, Agatha, and Macavity Awards, and has been shortlisted for the prestigious Edgar? Award; in 2016, she became a member of The Baker Street Irregulars, with the investiture “The Giant Rat of Sumatra.” Learn more about her at www.danacameron.com.
