There are a countless number of reworkings of the Holmes/Watson duo originally created by Doyle.

Juliana has little to no interest in the Season. She’d much rather be studying her ladybugs than worrying about marriage. Spencer is also not concerned about his love life seeing as he has just been assigned his first mission by the War Office to root out a spy.

The Covert Reader code named Lori Bond is the author of teen books featuring spies, crooks, and those who want to be spies or crooks. Under her legal name, Lori holds an MA in Children’s Literature. She lives somewhere on this Earth (as opposed to another world in the multiverse) with people she claims are her family. Who is the real Lori Bond? I’ll never tell.
