Zuch taught high school creative writing at Village Christian School, where he also coached the varsity baseball team. Writing remained central to his career after college. Zuch joined the staff of the student newspaper The Daily Sundial, writing passionate sociopolitical commentary and drawing engaging editorial cartoons about the turbulent times of the early ’70s. As an undergraduate at CSUN, then known as San Fernando Valley State College, he majored in journalism (and eventually completed a second Bachelor of Arts in history). Just like Holmes’ adventures, Zuch’s journey to become an author came with many twists and turns. When that series is completed, he will have over 40 Holmes stories to his credit.

The exhibit explored the legendary, fictional detective’s evolution from Conan Doyle’s original book series (starting in 1887), to film and TV adaptations, including notable memorabilia such as Benedict Cumberbatch’s coat from the recent BBC series, “Sherlock.” Zuch’s novel was selected among other published literature that successfully showcased Holmes’ enduring legacy and popularity in modern literature. Remarkably, his second novel, “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Twain Papers,” was featured in The Museum of London’s “The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die” exhibit, which ran from October 2014 to April 2015. Under the pen name Roger Riccard, Zuch has written and published six books (so far) that continue the Holmes saga. And that caught the eye of some people out in the publishing world.”
“So, I ended up writing probably 80 percent of the story. “One of the got to the point where I was the only one contributing,” Zuch said. It was the first of many Holmes stories Zuch would eventually write. Zuch was hooked and decided to contribute. Other members may take that premise and start writing a larger story, contributing chapter by chapter. The project involves a single premise, proposed by a member of the online community. Scrolling through the website in 2010, looking for stories to read, led him to stumble upon a collaborative project on the “E-Times.” It all began when Zuch discovered the “Sherlockian E-Times,” an online publication and community for fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s timeless fiction. John H. Watson, have created lasting ripples in the world of literature as they ingeniously solve mysteries - ones that are complex to the layman but are merely “elementary” to Holmes himself - through logic and deduction for different clients, including the London police in Scotland Yard.

Forty years later, when he began to dabble in writing those stories himself, it was a momentous, creative jump that led Zuch into a second career - helping sustain the legend of Holmes, who has been referred to as “The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die” due to his enduring popularity. When California State University, Northridge alumnus Roger Zuch ’73 (Journalism), ’75 (History) started reading Sherlock Holmes books, he was just a teenager with a thirst for the fictional detective’s crime-solving adventures.
