    About this ebook

    Elisha Grey, scholar in numerous subjects & consulting detective in Atlantis during its Second Era, together with his flatmate Kiara Ptolmai -- daughter of Menos Ptolmai, Atlantean Ambassador to Chungkuo, investigate three crimes. In "The Bones in the Cornerstone" a building renovation to which Kiara Ptolmai and Kamay Pellay have been assigned by their professor in sacred geometry, Magnus Wren, contains the remains of a mother and daughter who may be Lemurian, which slowly sends part-Lemurian Pellay into a temporary psychosis requiring Kiara’s healing skills as well as Elisha Grey’s research abilities. "The Rebirth of the Crime Ridden Slum” results when constable Kaliska Saukenuk reports increased crimes in her neighborhood – the same one Kiara Ptolmai has been assigned to renovate as part of her architecture studies. The changes in the property toward revitalization flushes out a number of criminal activities and requires Saukenuk to become a sleuth along with Elisha Grey, Kiara Ptolmai, Ishmael Endymion -- flamboyant chemist head of Dark Ladder Laboratories -- Kamay Pellay, and demipantherine multimorph woman Bast. In "The Sabotaged Lift", an apparent accident resulting in the death of someone close to Kiara Ptolmai is quickly revealed to be a murder. She is the first witness. The question becomes: who was ultimately responsible?

    Author

    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
