The Casebook of Elisha Grey VII

By Isabeau Vollhardt

The Casebook of Elisha Grey VII chronicles the work of Elisha Grey, scholar and consulting detective in Atlantis, as recorded by his partner, Kiara Ptolmai. The three novelettes are: "The Runaway Musician and the Return of Lorelei"; "The Deaths at Hanunnah Hot Springs"; and "The Drowned Fisherwomen of Hanunnah". The book follows the previous books in the Casebook of Elisha Grey series.

Elisha Grey, scholar in numerous subjects & consulting detective in Atlantis during its Second Era, together with his partner Kiara Ptolmai -- daughter of Menos Ptolmai, Atlantean Ambassador to Chungkuo, investigate three mysteries. In "The Runaway Musician and the Return of Lorelei", Elisha Grey and Kiara Ptolmai are asked by the constabulary to meet with an underage runaway because she uses the same surname as Kamay Pellay, which indicates she is part Lemurian and may be prone to his psychotic episodes. Shortly afterward, the demiequine multimorph Chiron comes to see Elisha about retrieving his multimorph daughter, Lorelei, from where she has been living in Thebes for several years. In "The Deaths at Hanunnah Hot Springs", former jewel smuggler Walela Pearl asks for Elisha Grey's help in solving the cause behind unexplained yet natural deaths of Atlanteans who have traveled to crystal mines in Hanunnah, the continent to the west of Atlantis. In "The Drowned Fisherwomen of Hanunnah" Elisha Grey, who has remained in Hanunnah to help establish a constabulary there, finds out that Kiara Ptolmai -- who is carrying their twin daughters -- is having a difficult pregnancy because the souls of the girls in their previous lives were sisters who were drowned while fishing at a contested fishing ground in Hanunnah.

Isabeau Vollhardt

Isabeau Vollhardt received her Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and English Composition from the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, in 1980, where she studied Novel Writing with Charles Johnson, and the Philosophy of Science Fiction with Michelle Beer. She was exposed to the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke in a class on Existentialism presented by Eva Hagemeyer. A longtime reader of Victorian era authors such as Arthur Conan Doyle, she was writing The Casebook of Elisha Grey in part as an homage to Doyle and in part as a result of her readings of esoteric works on Atlantis, when she began studies at Samra University of Oriental Medicine in 1991. Graduating with a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine and receiving licensure to practice acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, she then went on to receive training in Reiki, reaching level IV (Seichem) Reiki training. Energy work and intuitive work in a variety of realms have been part of her personal and professional life since 1985 and encompasses study of Kuang Ping style taijiquan, shuilong qi gong, feng shui, clairvoyancy, Western Astrology, Native American journeywork, and Iai-Batto-Ho. Her experiences resulting from her shui long qi gong practice resulted in a volume of poetry which is now published: Songs of the Water Dragon / Poems for Plants & Planets / and Others. She lives in Ashland, Oregon, where she has practiced Chinese Medicine and taught tai chi, qi gong, and Chinese Medicine theory since 1997. Her short story "Farewell at a Graveside" was published by Innisfree Magazine in 1990. She continues writing with her focus on speculative fiction, and an occasional poem, because 'poems happen'.www.facebook.com/pages/TheCasebookOfElishaGreywww.facebook.com/pages/IsabeauVollhardtEarthboundMysticwww.isabeauvollhardt.netwww.imdb.com/isabeauvollhardt
