The Case of the Displaced Detective by Stephanie Osborn

Skye Chadwick discovers that there are alternate realities, and said alternates are often populated by those we consider only literary characters. The Displaced Detective Series is a science fiction mystery in which hyperspatial physicist Dr. What is your new series about and why do you love it? I thought it would be fun, as a SF writer, to incorporate it as a fun bit of “lore” about me – a touch of imaginative mystique, if you will.

Rather than take exception to the description, I took it to heart and made it my title. Some years back, when I was working as a Shuttle payload flight controller, one of the branch managers, noting my “difference in style” from most of the people I worked with, and himself being a science fiction fan, described me as an Alien Changeling. An alien changeling, therefore, would be a changeling who, never mind being a different Earth species, comes from another world, or even another dimension. Unfortunately, usually the fae person never quite fits in. The human is taken to the fairy world, while the fae is raised as a human. Well, a changeling, in European (specifically Celtic) mythology and folklore is a fairy or elven child who, while still an infant, is switched in the cradle for a human child. Okay, Stephanie, you’re the alien changeling writer.

I sat down with author Stephanie Osborn to talk about her career, her life, and the first books in her Displaced Detective series, THE CASE OF THE DISPLACED DETECTIVE: THE ARRIVAL and THE CASE OF THE DISPLACED DETECTIVE: AT SPEED. Can they work out their relationship? Can they determine why the spies are after the tesseract? And can they stop it? But they don’t even know what the spies want! Their relationship complicates matters both feel strong attraction, but Holmes especially refuses to admit it. Having foiled sabotage of Project: Tesseract, Sherlock Holmes and Skye Chadwick try to find the spies responsible.
