About the Author
Having lived in small towns all my life may seem dull to some, but I have found it a rich and rewarding existence. The middle child of thirteen children, I was fortunate enough to be raised in what I would call an, almost, Walton-like atmosphere of family joys and sorrows, triumphs and tragedies.
Remarkably, we are all still alive, except for my mother who lost her life to cancer at the early age of forty nine. But my father continued with remarkable courage--to say the least--and brought us all to adulthood.
I am forty seven now, and enjoy the memories of lazy nights in St. Henry; strumming my guitar on the front porch and singing songs with family and friends. I play guitar and piano and write songs and poems as well. I like telling stories, as I have been surrounded by family story tellers all my life. Always, my father, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles and many family members, they tell the stories of the family's past whenever we come together.
I work with mentally and physically challenged adults, and have for eighteen years. I now live in the small town of Minster, Ohio with my wife and two teenage children. And as I do, the adventure of my life continues.

Nice try but. . .,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Three Dragons (Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) (Paperback)
This book is full of problems. I hate to bash an aspiring author, especially one who obviously admires Sherlock Holmes, but Fullenkamp's pastiche deserves some criticism. It was amazing to learn that Dr. Watson's name was Johnathan and that the structure at 221 Baker Street was not laid out anything like Conan Doyle described it. Fullenkamp also has the building with "upper rooms inhabited by Mrs. Hudson and a few of the other tenants." The conversations have an American character and do not sound like 1880s England. Fullenkamp has Holmes and Watson doing things completely out of place and character, such as rushing into a room with pistols drawn and then rolling on the floor into firing positions. Watson has named his pistol "Mildred." There just are too many elements of James Bond and Bruce Lee and not enough of the Holmes and Watson of the Canon. Perhaps I expected too much of a book the author paid to have published.--"Samson"

Sherlock Holmes and the Adventrue of the Three Dragons,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Three Dragons (Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) (Paperback)
A quaint mystery book that was a good quick read. However if one were looking to meet Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in yet another adventure, you'd better look elsewhere. The author missed the essential Sherlock Holmes. For one, throughout the book both Holmes & Watson referred to Inspector Whittington as Charlie. While Watson may have occasionally lapsed into a first name basis, only on rare occasions would Holmes ever do so. Both their nature and the times would have required the more formal Inspector Whitington. Mrs. Hudson's home and Holmes and Watsons abode were altered from the orgiginal Conan Doyle descriptions of the 221B Baker Street residence. These are only two examples of where the author missed the essential Sherlock Holmes. Readers will no doubt find others as they read the book. It's a good little mystery book, but just not an essential Sherlock Holmes. Hopefully the aurthor will improve if he writes another Sherlock Holmes book.

This is not the Holmes and Watson you know and love...,
By meiringen "meiringen" (the Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Three Dragons (Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) (Paperback)
The plot of this book is unbelieveable (reads like a "Fu Manchu" story), Holmes and Watson are so out of character (they sound like Americans, do not use proper etiquette, and act more like they are in a spy novel rather than a mystery), and the story is overly wordy.More research into the time period, a thorough read of the original Sherlock Holmes stories,along with a good editor, might have helped.
