Kim H. Krisco

About the Author Kim has published several non-fiction books (all on Amazon) -- Leadership Your Way, Leadership & the Art of Conversation, and then -- Talking to Trees. AND NOW . . . Kim he was delighted to follow in the footsteps of the master storyteller Sir Arthur Conan Doyle by adding four new novels to the Doyle canon: Totally new, Sherlock Holmes adventures in "Sherlock Holmes-The Golden years," and "Irregular Lives: The Untold Story of Sherlock Holmes and Baker Street Irregulars," and The Celtic Phoenix. Out -- of these stories emerged a strong female protagonist, Tessa Wiggins, who occupies center stage in his latest novel: The Magnificent Madness of Tessa Wiggins. He captures the voice and style of the times unraveling mysteries in, and around, turn - of - the - century London that, as Holmes has put it, "appears to have taken on an unsavory European influence." Meticulously researched, all of Krisco's stories are mini historical novels. Indeed, Kim once trekked to Aviemore Scotland, and visited Ben Macdui Mountain, so he could better capture the authentic feel of the setting for The Bonnie Bag of Bones - the first of Holmes's and Watson's post-retirement adventures. He is contributing to a niche known as "historical mysteries" in which fictions characters (i.e. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson) are put in real, historically accurate settings -- oftentimes interacting with real historical characters. The Magnificent Madness of Tessa Wiggins is mystery-suspense …. with a psychic vibe. Driven mad by mysterious rituals intended to install her as a Druid priestess and the people’s connection with the Earth Mother, an Irish lass finds herself in an asylum and in the clutches of criminals intent on plundering a sacred Celtic treasure that can only be found on All-Halloween. In "The Celtic Phoenix" an enigmatic jewelry case, holding human remains, arrives at the cottage of Sherlock Holmes, enticing him from his retirement refuge in the Sussex Downs. Joining forces with one of his former Baker Street irregulars, Tessa Wiggins, the legendary detective finds himself battling forces that seemingly arise from a time before England was a country--when the Celts were fighting for their survival. In "Irregular Lives: The Untold Story of Sherlock Holmes and Baker Street Irregulars" Kim tells the true story of how Holmes met the street-urchins known as the irregulars, and how they shaped and changed one another's lives. In Sherlock Holmes - The Golden Years, Kim Krisco breathes new life into the beloved "odd couple," revealing deeper insights into Holmes's and Watson's protean friendship that has become richer with age . . . and a bit "puckish." They recently sold their large straw-bale home and their casita in Mexico and moved deeper into the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where they live in two tiny cabins he and Sararose built. Kim states that: "As strange as it sounds, Krisco claims, having fewer things and less money makes living a richer experience. Such a strategy goes against all my early programming, so I suspect it is the right thing to do. We want to give back now. One idea Sara and I are exploring is spending more of our time helping others in areas ravaged by natural disasters." "I intend to keep writing, gardening, learning new languages, taking up the accordion, and enjoying the natural world (Which is going fast). But I don't want to be called a writer, gardener, linguist, accordionist, or even a hiker. Labels limit us. "I love connecting with like-minded people around the world.
