I won The Wailing in a giveaway and I received it today! I love all the bookmarks and your inscription was so sweet. I'm so excited to read it and I will 100% be reading your other works as well. My question is when did you first fall in love with the world of Sherlock Holmes? I decided that after The Wailing I would brush up on my Holmes to read Morrigan.

Hello, Sam! I'm glad The Wailing got to you all right, and I hope you enjoy it.
Gosh, I can't remember a time when Sherlock Holmes wasn't a part of my life. My mother and grandmother are both reading specialists, and my mother used the Adventures to teach problem-solving skills in her high school classes, so I was very familiar with the stories long before I was able to read them for myself. I remember being very, very young when I first sat down in front of the old Peter Cushing adaptations (which were probably waaaaaay too intense for me, come to think of it). My grandmother gave me a copy of the Adventures when I was eight and, ah, neglected to tell me that they continued beyond The Final Problem, and I was in deep mourning for a solid week before my mother finally asked what was wrong and hustled me off to Barnes & Noble to fix the problem! Then there was the Wishbone version (!) and the Russell & Holmes series by Laurie R. King.
It's my oldest fandom.
