Philip van Wulven


Biography

Phil van Wulven was born in Africa, in a family who changed houses and schools, as well as countries, quite often. Landlords, Headmasters, and governments prefer you to leave places as you found them, he discovered. He has lived in Canada for quite a while now, where he is busy growing roots. He hates rejection almost as much as dejection.
He likes trees, birds, sunsets, and all that, and is getting used to the idea that seeing a sunrise doesn’t mean he is on the way to work.
He likes to read, write, drink beer, and fix stuff.

  • Tales From the Deed Box of John H. Watson MD on Feb. 08, 2012
    (no rating)
    Hugh Ashton has taken on the task of filling in some of the gaps in Dr Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes’ exploits. Several cases were mentioned by the good doctor and by the great detective himself, with few details given, and Mr Ashton has used his knowledge of the canon to reconstruct some of these stories. He offers three of these cases in this volume, all built on very sketchy hints, and all in the style of Conan Doyle. I found them entertaining reading, and worthy of consideration by any afficionado of Sherlock Holmes as well as by lovers of detective stories, with a mix of adventure and puzzle solving to keep you engaged.
