		Kurland's description of himself posted on his Web site, www.michaelkurland.com, and on the jackets of his books is outdated: "A plump, middle-aged man with greying hair and mild, hazel eyes looking out from behind wire-rim glasses, (he) has the perpetually nervous look of a rabbit invited to lunch at the Lions Club."
		Kurland may still be carrying an extra 30 pounds, but behind the shrewd eyes and focused, knowing persona lies the lion, not the rabbit.
		Kurland, who is 67 and grew up in Manhattan, spent four years in the Army (most of it with the Army Security Agency in Germany) and then entered Columbia University, but didn't finish.

		Michael's parents and camp advocates from The Watson Institute in Sewickley, which specializes in autism and provides camp counselors, say both groups blend so well that a stranger would be hard-pressed to tell them apart.
		The dilemma, Stuart Kurland says, is that their son could end up at a menial job or at M.I.T. -- depending on what influences him, and how well he learns to negotiate through life.
		Michael's disability, Asperger's Syndrome, is sometimes called the "little professor syndrome" for the way Asperger's kids turn out smart but often too focused on a single topic: refrigerators, say, or jet engines.

		Michael Kurland's protagonist is Professor James Moriarty, and his ingenious strategy is not based on marginalizing or mocking Holmes, but on enlarging the scope of his nemesis.
		Kurland himself is a magical mastermind, flawlessly recreating a bygone world, adeptly linking his primary and secondary protagonists, generously offering escape into a brilliant and terrifying time, and, wisely, ending with a warning.
		Kurland's story is ingenious and as compelling as that put down by A. Conan Doyle.

	Review of Sherlock Holmes: The Hidden Years, by Michael Kurland
		Michael Collins gives us a view of the nature of social justice in America of the 1890’s in his “Cross of Gold”.
		This concept, like the one in Kurland's previous anthology of My Sherlock Holmes, allows most of the writers to use a different narrator and avoid direct comparison to the style of the original tales.
		Kurland's previous anthology, My Sherlock Holmes, was uneven with a couple strong stories and couple weak ones.

	Two Holmesians, no Watson
		That's because two Petaluma authors, Michael Kurland and Steve Hockensmith, have published Sherlock Holmes-inspired mysteries that are not narrated by Dr. John Watson, and, in fact, don't include much of Holmes either.
		Kurland's Moriarty is still a criminal, but he commits crimes (or plans crimes, because he can often convince others to do the dirty work) for a somewhat worthy cause.
		Kurland emphasizes Moriarty's abilities as a scientist and mathematician, who commits crimes to fund the construction of ever-larger telescopes on the moors.

	Metroactive Books \| 'My Sherlock Holmes'
		Michael Kurland opens his weathered bag and, magician-like, produces a large stack of books--too large to have come from so compact a container, yet there they are.
		Kurland moved here from San Francisco about three years ago, and while it's not at all like the big, blustering cities he's been drawn to throughout his life, the author says he likes Petaluma and enjoys poking about downtown, rummaging through the paperback section of used book stores.
		It was an award, in fact, that partially sparked Kurland's decision to stop writing about alien invaders, plagues, endangered galaxies, and underground mutant organizations and to throw his energies into various types of mysteries.

	The Unicorn Girl -- Michael Kurland
		Kurland has always reveled in alternate universes (his continuations of Randall Garrett's "Lord Darcy" stories, set in an alternate universe where the Plantagenets are still on the throne and magic works do full justice to Garrett's concepts and characters), and here he takes the idea and runs with it.
		Their mutual friend Randall Garrett based his briliant wizard Sir Thomas Leseaux on T.A.Waters, and Kurland takes us through Garrett's universe on the trip, by the way.
		He also plays a neat little trick with the inherent possibilities of alternate universe travel that i had never thought of nor encountered elsewhere, having to do with just how close adjacent alternate universes can be.

	The Daily Campus - Health Services prepares for flu clinic
		According to the Director of Health Services Michael Kurland, the clinic will be held Oct. 30 and Oct. 31 from 9a.m.
		Kurland said because so many people were vaccinated last year there was not a large outbreak of the flu on campus.
		Although, according to Kurland, there have been no reports of the flu as of yet, a great deal of advertising and articles in national newspapers on government recommendations about the flu have been published.

		So I was wary when I picked up Michael Kurland's 'The Infernal Device', but he fell into none of these traps and I soon found myself engrossed in the story.
		We have a brief, passing reference to Oscar Wilde for example: but perhaps the most grating such allusion is to Henry Higgins (of My Fair Lady fame) because it actually intrudes on the plot to a degree, fortunately not excessively.
		Kurland is the winner of an Edgar Allan Poe fiction award, so I would expect something better than average from him; and he doesn't fail to produce the goods.

		Thus, it is with great pleasure that I present a review of of Michael Kurland's most recent work, The Empress of India.
		Kurland, a recent discovery for me, has authored several books that are told from the point of view of none other than Professor James Moriarty.
		Furthermore, Kurland keeps the plot ticking straight to the end and even I was trying to solve the final puzzle before Moriarty and Holmes pieced it togther.

		While both Holmes and Watson are portrayed in the manner in which most Sherlockians know them, the pair only begin to play a significant role in the latter half of the story.
