Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ralph E. Vaughan is the author of several Sherlock Holmes novels and stories, notably "The Adventure of the Ancient Gods," the first-ever crossover between the literary worlds of Holmes and Lovecraft. Other books include "The Dreaming Detective," "Sherlock Holmes and the Coils of Time," "Professor Challenger & The Secret of the Dreamlands," and "The Terror Out of Time." He is the creator of the popular Paws & Claws YA adventure series, beginning with "Paws & Claws: A Three Dog Mystery," in which the amazing canines of the Three Dog Detective Agency protect the weak and innocent inhabitants of their Chula Vista neighborhood, thwart the evil plans of the nefarious Feral Gang, and occasionally save the world. The series continues with "A Flight of Raptors," "K-9 Blues," and the controversial "The Death & Life of American Dog." Among his science fiction books are "Shadows Against the Empire" and "Amidst Dark Satanic Mills," interplanetary steampunk adventures set in the late 19th Century. A writer since the late 1960s, he has published more than 300 short stories in a variety of magazines and journals, some of which are included in "Beneath Strange Stars," a collection of tales from more than forty years of writing. An expert on fantasy writer HP Lovecraft, he also wrote many articles for fannish and scholarly journals, and authored the authoritative "HP Lovecraft in the Comics," a survey and analysis of how Lovecraft's stories were interpreted in graphic print formats through the 20th Century. He is a long-time resident of Chula Vista, California, graduating from Castle Park High School and Southwestern College, leaving his hometown only long enough to serve as an Army photojournalist for two terms. He is married and has two children, a daughter who is a game designer, playwright and director, and a son who is a conductor for the BNSF railway system.
