KD had a varied career, working with thoroughbred horses and racing greyhounds-.To mix things up, she joined Countrywide and became a Fellow of The National Association of Estate Agents. Retirement finally gave her a chance to write her first novel, " Song for Someone" KD got the idea for the story after a visit to The Sherlock Holmes museum on Baker Street, London, in 2019, with her daughter Katie. KD always wanted to write about Irene Adler. She is such an iconic character. A talented pianist from age six, the music from some of KD's favourite composers, Beethoven, Wagner, and Stephen Foster, all feature strongly in her novel. The second book in the Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler mystery series, " Christmas at The Saporis", is now available at Amazon.The third book " Meet me In Milan", will be published later this year.

Love is the aria of the soul.
Charlotte Sapori has led a wonderful life, safely tucked in the bosom of her family. Her mother, Irene Adler, is a renowned opera singer, while her father, Lucca Sapori, does important government work that frequently takes him away from them. Charlotte is close to her older brother, Nicco, and they are both doted on by their parents. All is well until her mother receives an unexpected diagnosis which shakes the family to its core.
Knowing herself to be dying, Adler confesses to Charlotte things that have long been kept from her, telling her to find and read her diary. A distressed Lucca Sapori tells his daughter to read his as well. And by the way, Lucca Sapori is not his real name. In fact, she may have heard of him—he is actually the world-famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.
Charlotte finds both diaries and plunges into the hidden world of Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes as she discovers what brought them together, and how they managed to stay together for thirty years despite having to battle the odds.

Book Excerpt or Article
I turned over the page just as the phone began to ring. I answered it with some trepidation thinking
the worst, that it was the hospital. I was surprised to hear my father’s voice instead, especially so
soon after our last conversation. “Charlotte, I’m sorry to disturb you at this late hour. But you
deserve to know the whole truth. I, too, kept a record of our time together, your mother and me.
When you feel ready, I want you to go to my study and open the safe. The code is your mother’s
date of birth. My chronicles are in there. I wish I could be with you to explain everything. But before
you read our narratives, there is something else I need to tell you.” He paused for a moment. “I am
not who you think I am.” “Whatever do you mean?” I cried. “My name is Sherlock Holmes. You may
have heard of me.”
