Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Brash Blonde, coauthored by NCRA member Kelly Nasuti, RMR, CRR, CRC, and New York Times bestselling author Gemma Halliday, debuted on bookshelves both real and virtual Sept. 6.
The story places best friends Martha “Marty” Hudson, a barista at a Stanford University coffee bar, and Irene Adler, a dot-com millionaire, in the middle of a murder investigation as a result of contents Hudson discovers in an old Victorian home an aunt leaves to her. Getting no help from a grumpy detective, the two friends invent fictitious private investigator Sherlock Holmes to help them find answers.
According to Nasuti, “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Brash Blonde is a fun, modern take on the legendary Sherlock Holmes franchise.”
Before teaming up with Halliday to co-write the Sherlock story, Nasuti, who writes under the pen name Kelly Rey, authored three mystery novels including Motion for Murder, Motion for Malice, and Motion for Madness. Each of the books features main character Jamie Winters, a full-time law firm employee and part-time sleuth. After Motion for Madness was published, Nasuti became a USA Today bestselling author.
Nasuti, who has been a court reporter since 1989, operated as Regional Reporting Inc. until 2005 when she joined VITAC, a full service closed captioning and subtitling company. She currently works as a full-time captioner. Nasuti is a member of Sisters in Crime, a group that promotes the ongoing advancement, recognition, and professional development of women crime writers.
All four books are currently available in e-book format for Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, iBooks, Kobo, and Smashwords. They are also available in paperback at Amazon.com and Createspace.com.
