    in the topic The Casebook of Elisha Grey in the forum Kindle Unlimited Promotion Forum
    Three novelettes chronicling the cases of consulting detective Elisha Grey, of Atlantis, recorded by his roommate, Kiara Ptolmai -- "The Winged Dancer" about a missing multimorph; "The Chemist's Elixir" about a stolen medicinal formula; and "The Odalisques" about recruiting underaged women as brides.
    Elisha Grey, graduate student in many sciences and private consulting detective in Atlantis, solves three different mysteries with the help of his roommate, Kiara Ptolmai, the daughter of an Atlantean diplomat and a woman from the far off region of the Caucasus, who records the adventures. Cases include solving the disappearance of a multimorph (human/animal hybrid); the theft of a chemical formula for a badly needed pain relieving medicine; and the kidnapping of underage girls for recruitment into a household of odalisques (multiple brides). The technology of Atlantis and its contact with other continents is covered, as well as its ethics and mores.

    in the topic Hi to everyone! in the forum Introduce Yourself

    I've been working as an acupuncturist trained in Chinese medicine and Reiki for nearly 20 years, and teaching at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon for about the same time. The writing, which I had taken too long a break from, became something to occupy my time during the economic downturn, which in this small town was much harder and longer than the rest of the US. I resurrected an old project finished before I entered graduate school because I found that e-book publishing was now a reality. By the time I retyped (and therefore, re-edited) that manuscript of 3 stories about Elisha Grey, consulting detective in Atlantis during its Second Era, I realized there were more stories. Three years later I'm redrafting the fifth book in a series that, at this point, will be 8 volumes of 3 stories. The characters drive the fiction. All volumes are published through https://www.smashwords.com (they are adult content, so turn off the filter). As a philosophy major in my undergrad studies, I discovered that science fiction was a unique genre to explore ethical and moral issues of our time without setting the stories in the socio-political charged culture of our own times. Looking forward to hearing more from other writers about their work, and how they approach their craft!

    Isabeau Vollhardt Taking a day's break from what will be the 1st redraft pass of my latest e-book in what is, so far, a five book series (I didn't plan it that way; the characters did). So, fellow writers, do YOUR characters determine how much and when you write?

Personal Details

  • About Me Isabeau Vollhardt received her Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and English Composition from the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, in 1980, where she studied Novel Writing with Charles Johnson, and the Philosophy of Science Fiction with Michelle Beer. A longtime reader of Victorian era authors such as Arthur Conan Doyle, she was writing The Casebook of Elisha Grey in part as an homage to Doyle and in part as a result of her readings of esoteric works on Atlantis, when she began studies at Samra University of Oriental Medicine in 1991. Graduating with a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine and receiving licensure to practice acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, she then went on to receive training in Reiki, reaching level IV (Seichem) Reiki training. Energy work and intuitive work in a variety of realms have been part of her personal and professional life since 1985 and encompasses study of Kuang Ping style taijiquan, shuilong qi gong, feng shui, clairvoyancy, Western Astrology, Native American journeywork, and Iai-Batto-Ho. She currently lives in Ashland, Oregon, where she has been in private practice since 1997, and continues to write. She has had several articles published in print and on line regarding feng shui and acupuncture, and her short story "Farewell at a Graveside" was published by Innisfree Magazine, a literary journal, in 1990.
