He captures the voice and style of Doyle as Holmes and Watson find themselves unraveling mysteries in and around turn of the century London that, as Holmes puts it, “appears to have taken on an unsavory European influence.”

Meticulously researched, all of Krisco’s stories read like mini historical novels. Indeed Kim trekked to Aviemore Scotland, and climbed Ben Macdui Mountain, so he could better capture the authentic feel of the setting for The Bonnie Bag of Bones – the first of Holmes’s post-retirement adventures.

In his most recent novel: The Celtic Phoenix, An enigmatic jewelry case, holding human remains, arrives at the cottage of Sherlock Holmes, enticing him from his retirement refuge in the Sussex Downs. Holmes sets out on the trail of the murderer taunting him, joining forces with one of his former Baker Street irregulars, Tessa Wiggins. The two find themselves battling forces arising from a time before England was a country—when the Celts were fighting for survival.
Though set in 1919, The Celtic Phoenix is steeped in the enigmatic culture of the ancient Celts who reigned over much of Europe three thousand years ago. It was a time when the bond with Nature was strong . . . when people walked in the olde ways . . . and when women were the equals to men as warriors, priests, and poets. The Celtic Phoenix is the journey of three women who rise from the ashes of their past like fearsome phoenixes and shake the rational foundations upon Sherlock Holmes built his life and career.

Kim lives in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in a straw-bale home he built himself. This effort became the backdrop for his last book on coaching.

I used to think I was special – a dangerous way to think for someone coaching other people.

Fortunately, my special-ness rubbed off over a period of ten years while building a home and coaching center in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Colorado. The construction process is complete now, and enough of my defensive, ego-based armor has sloughed off for me to see my journey and myself more clearly.
I share my decade long journey with you as a vehicle for gaining deeper insights into human evolution – which, for me, is what coaching is about. Coaches are the midwives of personal growth and transformation – accelerating a natural, universal process toward higher consciousness. If this is true, then it would seem to follow that a coach’s skill and ability grows in proportion to their own personal growth and level of consciousness.

Talking to Trees: A chronicle of one coach’s journey into a new coaching paradigm by Kim Krisco, La Penita Press.

I now work with leaders, teams and organizations seeking a quantum leap in effectiveness. My coaching center is located in Longs Canyon west of Trinidad. I have published several other books including: Leadership & the Art of Conversation, Leadership Your Way, and Aikido leadership. I’m now writing a historical novel about Arthur Conan Doyle and a book of transcendental poetry. For more information go to www.kimkrisco.com or call him at 719-859-4302.

Quotes by Kim H. Krisco

“The moment we begin to define others and ourselves by how we are different, the seeds of separation are planted.”

“Malastier’s trial and execution were behind us, Holmes withdrew to his retreat on the South coast. I suspected that he might appreciate my presence, and the bucolic seaside atmosphere afforded me the opportunity to reengage my writing, which I had neglected. Another in my series of British mythology tales was due within the month”
