Kurland's early career was devoted to works of science fiction. His first published novel was ''Ten Years to Doomsday'' (written with Chester Anderson ) in 1964. Other notable works include ''Tomorrow Knight'', ''Pluribus'', ''Perchance'', and ''The Unicorn Girl''. ''The Unicorn Girl'', which was nominated for a Hugo Award , was the middle volume of trilogy by three different authors, the other two being Chester Anderson and T. A. Waters . Kurland has also written two novels, ''Ten Little Wizards'' and ''A Study in Sorcery'', set in the world of Randall Garrett 's Lord Darcy , prefiguring his later success as a mystery writer. Following the success of ''The Infernal Device'', which was nominated for an Edgar Award , Kurland turned his attention to detective fiction. Several of his subsequent novels have been sequels to ''The Infernal Device'', and feature Sherlock Holmes 's nemesis Professor Moriarty . He has edited two themed anthologies of Sherlock Holmes short stories, ''My Sherlock Holmes'' (stories narrated by characters other than Watson or Holmes) and ''Sherlock Holmes: The Hidden Years'' (stories set during the period in which Holmes was supposed to be dead). He is also the author of numerous non-fiction works, including '' How to Solve a Murder: the Forensic Handbook'' and ''How to Try a Murder: the Handbook for Armchair Lawyers''. Michael Kurland lives in Petaluma, California . BIBLIOGRAPHY (very incomplete)
