About the Artwork in Lady Sherlock

Inclusion of visuals was inspired by the legacy of the richly illustrated Sherlock Holmes stories as they first appeared in Strand Magazine.

The author personally crafted a majority of the images in this book. Most of the graphics contain elements well over a century old. In many instances the backgrounds were created using bits and pieces from dozens of Victorian photos. These public-domain vintage photographs were combined with recently taken pictures depicting our heroine. All of these elements were composited in Photoshop, sometimes colorized (for the E-book edition), and then given an engraving overlay to complete the period effect.

The cover is based on A Wet Night on the Embankment by Paul Martin. Shot around 1895, this photograph is a rare Victorian time-exposure taken at night.

It is hoped that the illustrations will enhance a modern reader's experience, helping them step back into that long-vanished era of swirling London fogs, Hansom Cabs, and the singular adventures of Lady Natasha Dorrington.
