Sherlock Holmes returns...

The MX Books of New Sherlock Holmes Stories is coming to an end and I have stories in two of the last books. Part XLIX contains my story The Mystery of the Missing Body and Part LI contains my story A Puzzle in Porphyry and both volumes are now available to preorder in paperback and hardback from Amazon.
