I'm so glad you're enjoying it :-)<br /><br />There are five fictional characters that I hold nearer and dearer than all others, and Sherlock Holmes is one of them. He's also the first one I "met." Those five inspire me, comfort me, fill me with joy :-) (The other four are Sgt.

I can't thank you enough for coming up with this idea and hosting :)<br /><br />I love it how people have this special relationship with certain literary characters and are inspired by them. For me, that Very Special Character would be... Did you guess it? ... Bilbo Baggins. I get a feeling of perpetual happiness from just typing up his name.

I love the series by Laurie R. King and the two books by Nicholas Meyer. I've also been working my way through a YA series about Holmes as a boy, by Shane Peacock, which is inventive.<br /><br />Being Holmes would be seriously cool.

That appears to be somewhat common for me as I approach fifty. :) <br /><br />I think it was in my teens, though, and it would've been The Hound of the Baskervilles.

And yes, I've been at this for almost as long as I've been married, a fact that sometimes startles me when I remember it.
