KD Sherrinford

KD Sherrinord was born and raised in Preston, Lancashire, and now resides on the Fylde Coast with her husband, John and their two children. An avid reader from an early age, KD was fascinated by the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. She read the entire Doyle Canon by the time she was 13.

KD had a varied career working with thoroughbred horses and racing greyhounds. She and her husband John won the Blackpool Greyhound Derby in 1987 with Scottie. Then, to mix things up, KD joined Countrywide, where she was employed for over twenty years and became a Fellow of The National Association of Estate Agents. Retirement finally allowed KD to follow her dreams and start work on her first novel, which she was inspired to write after visiting The Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street in 2019. I had always had a passion for writing about Irene Adler.
