About Me

I enjoy reading books while wandering the Downs, sleuthing with Holmes, and eating one of Mrs Hudson's delicious meals after a strenuous day's investigations. I do not particularly enjoy being banged over the head by a villain, although it seems to happen with distressing regularity, when in Holmes' company.

As I ease into my second century, I find that suppleness of mind comes in the same way as suppleness of body in my youth--one must simply practice. Thus I continue to compose my memoirs, attempting with each volume to duplicate the immediacy of the experience, be it time or place. At the present I am working on the ninth, concerning the summer of 1924 when Holmes and I returned to England after a lengthy absence. Follow my literary agent's progress with the new book on her web log , under the category ' The Language of Bees .'

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

One of those stupid criminals the police say inhabit the underworld; those Holmes and I come across are far too intelligent to make one feel entirely easy about the security of the world.
