Autorenporträt
Roger Riccard, though born and raised in the USA, has Scottish roots, which trace his lineage back to the Rose clan of the Highlands in Scotland. This British Isles ancestry encouraged his interest in the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and C. S. Lewis. He is now the author of more stories featuring mysteries with the 'World's First Consulting Detective' than those written by Conan Doyle. He lives in a suburb of Los Angeles with two cats named Bela (after Bela Lugosi who played Dracula, because he likes to bite) and Amanda (after Amanda Blake who played Miss Kitty on the old television western series, Gunsmoke) When not editing Watson's notes of Sherlock Holmes adventures, he is singing with a group which entertains senior citizens in retirement homes, or watching baseball, crime dramas, musicals and classic movies, and British mysteries on BBC America.
