Michael Robertson
1982
Michael Robertson is an American author best known for the writing of the “Baker Street Letters” series of novels. Robertson lives in San Clemente, California where he works for a huge American conglomerate with offices across England and the United States. He has always been fascinated by Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series of novels, which he was reading by the time he was only eight years old. In the 1970s he started watching the Nigel Bruce/Basil Rathbone movies that also influenced his later writing. While he is inspired by Sherlock Holmes, the novels in the “Baker Street Letters” series are not about Sherlock but rather about people who write letters to him. They also do not copy the Conan Doyle style of writing even though a legacy of the Holmes stories definitely does make it into the dialogue and plotting of the novels.
