Acknowledgements:
First, I thank my readers. Because you read my work, or came to a reading, or were a beta reader for my books, you have encouraged me to continue this series. So you have no one to blame but yourselves if I write a book for every story A. Conan Doyle ever wrote about Sherlock Holmes.
Second, I am grateful to A. Conan Doyle who provided me with endless hours of entertainment both as a child and as an adult with his Sherlockian tales. And now of course, I’ve created my own female versions of SH and Dr. Watson. Watch for Moriarty in book three, Valley of Fear.
Notes:
DISCLAIMER
This is a work of fiction. Any similarity to persons living or dead (unless explicitly noted) is merely coincidental. While many of the places and place names, street names, building names, and so on are based on reality, the author has added additional floors to some buildings, moved them up or down the street, or whatever she needed to further the story. Please use real maps and street signs to find your way around Portland and its environs.

All the stories are available for free online. I was lucky enough to have the book of all the Sherlock stories in my home as a child. I read it many times, and continue to do so today. Of course, I now carry my book around on my Kindle. It's lighter, but doesn't smell as nice.
