Tales of Light, Shadow, and Darkness

"culminated in that moment of revelation" [3GAR]

As an educator, Tracy Revels makes sure her students have fun learning. Which would explain why at her college, students can take one of her classes about Sherlock Holmes.

But Tracy's own love of learning and reading gave rise to another outlet for her fascination with Sherlock Holmes: writing. Her Shadow trilogy (Shadowfall, Shadowblood, and Shadowwraith) find Sherlock Holmes in the world of the occult, and her series of 41 short stories, previously published in various volumes of The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories, are due out as a trilogy this fall.

We explore these with her, as well as some of the more memorable projects that have sprouted from the creative minds of the students that Tracy inspired along the way.
