Charles Veley & Anna Elliott

Charles Veley and Anna Elliott, the dynamic father-daughter duo behind the Sherlock and Lucy series, skillfully blend classic detective charm with new storytelling. Charles, inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle, laid the series' foundation, infusing historical richness into Sherlock Holmes's world.

Anna joined from the third book, adding fresh perspectives and deepening the series' appeal. Together, they craft compelling narratives, introducing characters like Lucy James and redefining Holmes for modern readers. When she's not writing, Anna keeps busy homeschooling her five children.

Charles and Anna live close to one another in Pennsylvania.

Cornwall, 1901: Lucy and Jack, in the guise of a tranquil honeymoon, track a spy who threatens England's vital global telegraph lines. Enter Holmes and Watson, with young Irregulars Becky and Flynn in tow, diving into a whirlpool of sunken treasure and spectral sirens.

As cryptic messages, hidden loot, and the song of a Cornwall siren entwine, the serene coast becomes a stormy battleground. The stakes? Nothing less than the Empire's safety during wartime. "The Cornwall Mermaid" is a symphony of past and present, where classic mystery meets the adrenaline of a thriller.
