Doug Elliott

I'm a Canadian-Australian living in Sydney. I started my writing career with historical pieces for magazines but changed my focus a few years ago to concentrate on book-length projects.

In that vein, I have co-edited a couple of books and have written two historical novels set in Edwardian England and featuring the London investigator Augustus Parker.

Of course, real life tends to intrude just as you are making plans to the contrary, so I've had the unexpected opportunity as well to write some short pieces relating to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his legendary creation, Sherlock Holmes.

I'm currently hunched over my keyboard working on the next Augustus Parker novel.
