Lyndsay Faye Book Signing in Nashville June 3
Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson is getting rave reviews from Sherlockians around the US. Published by Simon and Schuster, 2009, this is Lyndsay Faye's first Sherlockian novel. Nashville is in for a treat this June 3 at 6:30 pm when Ms Faye will be signing her book at the Mysteries and More bookstore, located at Lenox Village, 6965 Sunnywood Drive, Nashville, TN 37211.
One review of Dust and Shadow: "Over the years, a number of mystery writers...have taken a crack at imagining what might have occurred if the fictional Holmes had been called in to pursue the real Ripper. Faye's is, by far, the most successful such effort." - Timothy Rutten for the Los Angeles Times
 Lyndsay Faye, author of Dust and Shadow. Come meet her in June! Ms Faye lives in New York City (Manhattan) and is married to Gabriel Lehner. She grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and is an actress, singer, and writer. Lyndsay has been present at the annual Gaslight Gala in New York City, an event Billy Fields and Jim Hawkins attended this past January. Please see that report, one of our Scholars' Adventures, here. And please visit Lyndsay's website.
Read the rave reviews Dust and Shadow is getting from reviewers, mystery buffs, and fans of Sherlock Holmes across the USA.
Nashville Scholar friends Joel & Carolyn Senter, proprietors of The Sherlock Holmes Shoppe, have copies of Dust and Shadow for sale on-line. Please contact them.
