Christopher D Abbott

Christopher D. Abbott is a Reader's Favorite award-winning author of crime, fantasy, science-fiction, and horror. He is also an Amazon Bestseller for his Sherlock Holmes The Watson Chronicles series. Described by New York Times Bestseller Michael Jan Friedman as "an up-and-coming fantasy voice", and compared to Roger Zelazny's best work, Abbott's Songs of the Osirian series of works brings a bold re-telling of Ancient Egyptian mythology. Abbott presents a fresh view of deities we know, such as Horus, Osiris, and Anubis. He weaves the godlike magic through musical poetry, giving these wonderfully tragic and deeply flawed "gods" different perspective, all the while increasing their mysteriousness. His Sherlock Holmes novellas, published under the Watson Chronicles, have been recognised by readers and peers alike as faithfully authentic to the original Conan Doyle. In 2022, after publishing nine individual Watson Chronicle stories, Abbott teamed up with prolific authors Michael Jan Friedman and Aaron Rosenberg to add a collection of Holmes short stories to the series under the banner Cases by Candlelight, and later Keith R.A. DeCandido joined the writing team, adding stories to a second, and soon to be third, volume, coming 2024. In addition to this, Abbott has scheduled to publish four brand new Sherlock Holmes novellas in 2024. Abbott has published with Crazy8Press and written for major media outlets, including ScreenRant.
