  • Summary

  • I heard through one of your tweets that, and I quote:
    "I've been doing many interviews asking what "inspired" me to create #EnolaHolmes. Sorry, but it was just business as usual!  An editor asked me to write something set in darkest London at the time of Jack the Ripper, that's all.  My first reaction was 'ick!'  I almost declined."
    How did Jack the Ripper time period transition into Enola Holmes?
    What does Enola have in common with Sherlock and what makes her different?
    As you might know I am a big Sherlock fan. Like many, the BBC series got me hooked. I have read about half of the Conan Doyle's Sherlockian stories and, as a 6th grade teacher, I'm always hesitant to recommend them to my students. Enola, however, brings the Sherlockverse to the Middle Grade audience and now I have a series I can put in their hands. What kind of feedback have you heard from young readers of the Enola Holmes mysteries?
    Enola has been made into a movie trough the sage wisdom of Legendary and Netflix who took the project on. How has it been working with screenwriters to bring Enola to the screen?
    Since the movie dropped, how has the response been from your fans, the public, etc?
    Stephen Fry wrote and recorded a series of essays on the body of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock collection and, in one of those he made the argument that Sherlock was a type of proto-Suoerman, a super hero before there were Superheros. Granted, there were always heroes in literature's prior to Doyle, think Odysseus and others, but Sherlock was different because of his intellectual super powers of deduction and reasoning. When I discovered that Henry Cavill was playing Sherlock in the Enola Holmes movie, I couldn't help but be pleasantly satisfied with that casting choice for, as you know, he has played Superman in the most recent movies in the DC cinematic universe. Does your character Enola, share any superhuman qualities like Sherlock’s advanced intelligence?
    Are there plans to add more to the Enola Holmes series?
