Conan Doyle

I read more of my book finally! The first part is pretty much dedicated to how Sherlock was created and Doyle's life at the time. He was quiet the ladies man and very active in several different sports, lectures, and traveling around. He also kept journals with everything that he wanted to include in the stories, but eventually he wanted to get rid of Holmes, after a few attempts to just drop it he eventually killed Holmes by throwing him off a waterfall. The magazine that ran the stories lost 20,000 subscribers. Over time he wrote several more stories, and plays (one being a Sherlock Holmes play which coined the phrase "it's elementary, Watson!" and eventually brought back Holmes for another adventure.
