Steel True, Blade Straight...

 ...is the new volume from Belanger Books celebrating the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with stories, poems and scholarship. One half focuses on Sherlock Holmes, the other half on Conan Doyle's other writings (although one of my poems bridges the gap, linking Holmes and the White Company). In total, I have two poems and two stories in this volume.
