The research is both the best part of writing novels and the most time-consuming. Below is my latest 'sherlock' - it took nearly three years to research thoroughly.<br />Tim Symonds' latest sherlock - <br />Sherlock Holmes And The Mystery of Einstein's Daughter <br /><br />In late 1903 Einstein's illegitimate daughter 'Lieserl' disappears without trace in Serbia aged around 21 months. As Holmes exclaims in the Mystery of Einstein's Daughter, "the most ruthless effort has been made by public officials, priests, monks, Einstein's friends, followers, relatives and relatives-by-marriage to seek out and destroy every document with Lieserl’s name on it. The question is – why?"<br /><br /> ‘Lieserl’s fate shadows the Einstein legend like some unsolved equation’ Scientist Frederic Golden Time Magazine<br /> <br /><br /><br />Sherlock Holmes And The Mystery of Einstein's Daughter is available at www.mxpublishing.co.uk/engine/shop/product/9781780925721 or www.amazon.co.uk/Sherlock-Holmes-Mystery-Einsteins-Daughter/dp/1780925727.

After several years working in the Kenya Highlands and along the Zambezi River he emigrated to the United States. He studied in Germany at Göttingen and at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in Political Science. Sherlock Holmes And The Mystery Of Einstein’s Daughter was written in a converted oast house in 'Conan Doyle country', near Rudyard Kipling’s old home Bateman’s in East Sussex and in the forests and hidden valleys of the Sussex High Weald. <br />The author’s other detective novels include Sherlock Holmes and The Dead Boer at Scotney Castle and Sherlock Holmes and The Case of the Bulgarian Codex.<br />He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.<br />Tim Symondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350681516309537219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927747170998995622.post-66393560087594984752012-05-13T09:13:06.650-04:002012-05-13T09:13:06.650-04:00In general, I agree.

If I need, say, a bubbling spring in the forest, I will make every effort to ensure a bubbling spring was actually there before I include it. <br /><br />Currently, I am researching the life of Charles Augustus Milverton.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
