Welcome to the Wonderfully Mysterious World of Spike Brown

When it comes to writing, Spike Brown isn’t content to sit at an ordinary desk. Instead, he crafts his stories in a unique four-wheeled caravan, parked along the coast. This traveling writing hut, filled with collected trinkets, old railway pieces, and countryside charm, has become the birthplace of many of his most inventive ideas. Readers often comment on the vivid sense of place and atmosphere in his books, a direct reflection of the ever-changing landscapes outside his caravan windows.

A lifelong fan of Sherlock Holmes, Spike has created several books inspired by the world’s most famous detective. From Sherlock by the Sea, featuring an 80-year-old Holmes still outwitting criminals by the coast, to Round the Fireside with Sherlock Holmes, his affection for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic character shines through. Spike’s writing captures the wit, intelligence, and intrigue of traditional detective tales while offering his own fresh and whimsical spin.
