Students of the true and Canonical Sherlock Holmes know this to be a falsehood.

Join us as we explore the remarkable journey of the Mormon Battalion, the longest military march in history.

It seems that vampire killers get no respect. One would think that protecting people from a race that would suck them dry and throw the desiccated husks on the street would earn some respect. One would think that converting large mythological beasts from enemies to allies would earn some gratitude. One would think that healers who use more than medicine along with their medical training, could practice without fear of exposure. Such is not the case. The book Cowgirls and Dragons explores the lives of people who do these things and who are forced into hiding because of it.
