Sherlock holmes & the holmes children

Of all his experiences as the sleuth supreme, none would prepare Sherlock Holmes for the most difficult, the most challenging, the most formidable mystery of them all.

The mystery of what to make his children for dinner.

Frustrated by the nightly routine of dinner prep for my three children, I wrote this children’s book as part detective thriller and part meditative approach to parenting. Sherlock Holmes & the Dinnertime Mystery is a book that most children and parents can relate to: the struggles surrounding dinnertime, the “this is not my taste” pronouncements, and, of course, the threat of a lurking arch-nemesis.

Sherlock Holmes & the Dinnertime Mystery was selected by Kickstarter as a “Project We Love” and succeeded its campaign and then some. The book will also soon be available on Amazon.

The first book was so popular that I wrote a second titled “Sherlock Holmes and a Father’s Time.”

The premise for that one? Sherlock Holmes & A Father's Time is once again part detective thriller and part meditative approach to parenting, but this newest installment also introduces children to the concept of neurodivergence and/or to the confusing changes that come along with pre-adolescence--it's my hope that this story will prompt interesting conversation between parents and kids around the mutually shared experience of having felt different. 

This book too was recognized as a Kickstarter “Project We Love.”
