Authors

Hailing from Bedford, in the South East of England, Matthew Simmonds has been a confirmed devotee of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous creation since first watching Jeremy Brett's incomparable portrayal of the world's first consulting detective, on a Tuesday evening in April, 1984, while curled up on the sofa with his father. He has written numerous short stories, and his first novel, "Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of The Pigtail Twist" was published in 2018. A sequel is nearly complete, which he hopes to publish in the near future. Matthew currently co-owns Harrison & Simmonds, the fifth-generation family business, a renowned County tobacconist, pipe and gift shop on Bedford High Street.
I live close to Harrisburg, PA and have been married since 1990 to a wonderful woman who puts up with me disappearing into my study more often than she would like. I have four children, two of whom are still at home, and one very cute granddaughter. I am a graduate of Red Land High school in Lewisberry, PA, and a summa cum laude graduate of Shippensburg University, also in PA, with a BA in English. Shippensburg provided a good education at a reasonable price. For years before my marriage, I performed on stage in area community theaters, directed and music directed stage and musical shows, and otherwise kept myself occupied until, on a blind date, I met my wife. Unlike previous dates where either I or the lady I was a dating knew from the first we weren't a match, I was nearly positive my wife was the woman for me. (She was less certain.) I am very, very glad I waited for the right woman. Who else would tolerate me? I have had many jobs over the years. I've dug ditches, stocked grocery shelves, tutored for room and board, cleaned restrooms, mopped floors, taught cartooning, worked in a bank, asked if you'd like fries with that (and cooked the fries to boot), ordered carpet for cars, and worked commission sales at Sears. Currently, I am a 32 year veteran of the Federal employee workforce. I consume your tax dollars in a Computer Design Agency for the Department of Defense. Believe it or not, I and my employees save you money, which will no doubt be shamelessly spent somewhere else in the government. In addition to my job, I also conduct the Home School Orchestra in our area. The previous conductor was the Chair of the Music Department in Shippensburg University, but he left to maintain his paying job. I have volunteered as conductor for 20 years or more, and I'm told they'll keep me - if for no other reason than I'm willing to do the work for nothing. I have been writing stories for decades in different genres. I've added spice to my writing life by switching from comedy, science fiction, mystery, and horror as the muse strikes me. I try to keep my stories mature, but not so mature your children couldn't read them. The exception would be "Collisions", which depicts some adult situations. While not graphic by today's standards, adults should use discretion in allowing their children to read it. My big seller is book number nine: "The Darkened Village", a Sherlock Holmes adventure. I've got quite a backlog of books, novellas, and novelettes, some of which have won local awards. And I've got more in my head, waiting to be put down on electronic paper. If you like my work, I promise there will be more of it in the future unless I unexpetedly "shuffle off my mortal coil". Of course, because I can't afford to give up my day job, it might take a while. I also write non-fiction. I have been a Christian for almost 50 years, and I decided to write a book on theology for the layman, "Solid Ground." While written primarily for believers (to provide the grounding in the faith I missed because I was not raised in a Christian home), it also should provide easy access to the unbeliever who wants to know more about how the every day Christian he may meet approaches his or her faith. You can buy the complete tome, or you can by individual chapters as eBooks and some as printed books. In addition to the books and stories you will see on Amazon, I've written four musicals (two of which were performed locally to good reviews), three piano sonatas, one etude, ten works for Christian choirs and ensembles, over 40 works for young orchestra, and even have a passel of cartoons I drew when I was a working level employee. In my spare time, I play piano, am a chain reader, volunteer in church, clean the kitchen, and write a blog on topics that range from culture, books, religion, politics, and griping about the difficulty of installing car seats. Some nights, I sleep, too.

In the 1980s I published five Sherlock Holmes short stories in individual booklets: The Purple Hand, The Unseen Traveller, The Zodiac Plate, The Secret of Shoreswood Hall and The Christmas Visitor. In the 1990s, these stories were collected, with the addition of one new story, The Green Umbrella, as the first two volumes of The Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes. Two further volumes of The Chronicles followed, containing a further eight stories. In 2014 and 2016, two volumes of The Lost Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes were published, containing a mixture of new stories and older stories which had appeared over the years in magazines, anthologies etc. Now, forthcoming in December 2016, is my first Sherlock Holmes novel, The Riddle of Foxwood Grange.
