About the author
David Marcum plays The Game with deadly seriousness. He first discovered Sherlock Holmes at age ten in 1975. Since then he has collected, read, and chronicled literally thousands of Canonical Holmes adventures. In 2008 he began writing them and has since produced over forty well-regarded short stories and novels, as well as a number of essays about the worlds greatest detective. In 2015, he conceived the idea of The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories. Counting these books, he has now edited close to one thousand pastiches, as well as re-issues of the Solar Pons and Dr. Thorndyke books, while continuing to write new Holmes stories. He is a licensed civil engineer living in Tennessee with his wife and son. Terre Rybovich A third-generation native of West Palm Beach, Florida, Terre is a daughter of Tommie Rybovich, the noted sports-fishing boat designer and builder. Like her father did, Terre chooses to explore the terrain that lies just beyond whats known. Her drawing technique first came to her years ago, while delirious with the flu. Drawing backwards was the initial idea, i.e., removing charcoal to create an image instead of adding charcoal to a white sheet of paper. Because her focus was on figurative work, she used her body to remove the charcoal. One unexpected outcome was how her mind reacted-and still reacts-when confronted with creative input that it didnt generate. Every new drawing requires a period of acquiescing before the mind accepts the bodys imprint and its influence on how the drawing is finished. The result is that Terre creates artwork that her mind couldnt have imagined. It means she works in perpetual wonder. Terres education is in politics and economics. Her first career was in grassroots activism and grant-making. The activist experience forged an enduring commitment to this world. It also instilled a courageous drive that she now channels into art-making. Her drawings have been exhibited widely in South Florida, and she is grateful for a growing circle of collectors. Terres drawings have been part of the Viewing Program of the Drawing Center in New York City since 2004.
