Daniel D. Victor is a retired high school teacher who lives with his wife and two sons in his native Los Angeles, California. A graduate of Fairfax High School, he earned his BA at UC Berkeley, his MA at California State University, Los Angeles, and his Ph.D. in American Literature at the Claremont Graduate School in Claremont, CA. His doctoral dissertation, THE MUCKRAKER AND THE DANDY: THE CONFLICTING PERSONAE OF DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS, led to the creation of the Sherlock Holmes pastiche THE SEVENTH BULLET. Originally published as a Thomas Dunne Book by St. Martin's Press in 1992, it was reprinted in paperback by Titan Books, UK, in 2010 as part of its series, "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," and translated into Russian in 2012.

But when I discovered Chandler had grown up in London, I wondered just how he'd gotten interested in solving crimes. "He must have met Sherlock Holmes," my wife said. I proceeded to check the dates and discovered that the years Chandler spent at Dulwich College (1900-1905) corresponded with the appearance of Billy the Page who worked for Holmes at Baker Street. It was elementary to conclude that somehow or another Billy and Ray were one in the same.(less)

Sherlock Holmes and The Case of the Dying Emperor

Tom Turley’s novella, “Sherlock Holmes and The Case of the Dying Emperor” (available on Kindle and destined to be part of a larger work entitled "Sherlock Holmes and the Crowned Heads of Europe"), neatly places the reader in the midst of a brief historical period towards the end of the nineteenth century—the ninety-nine-day reign of the German emperor Frederick III.

“Each of us, I think, adopts a comfortable and familiar era or place in which to plant ourselves; and from then on, that which disagrees with our memories -- a new building here, a change in paint there -- is forever jarring and anachronistic.”
Daniel D. Victor, The Seventh Bullet
