Narrelle M Harris

Thirteen authors, including Narrelle M. Harris, Jody Lynn Nye, and Sarah Stegall, come together in the second edition of Baker Street Irregulars to pen an original collection of short stories on the iconic and timeless character, Sherlock Holmes. In this new edition of Baker Street Irregulars, a cast of authors riff on the iconic figure of Sherlock Holmes in over a dozen captivating new ways. In Keith DeCandido’s “Six Red Dragons,” Sherlock is a young girl in modern New York City. In Sarah Stegall’s “Papyrus,” Sherlock is a female librarian in ancient Egypt. In Daniel M. Kimmel’s mesmerizing “A Scandal in Chelm,” Sherlock is a rabbi. Derek Beebe sends Sherlock to the moon, while Mike Strauss, in “The Adventure of the Double Sized Final Issue,” casts him as a comic book character. The backdrops run the gamut from a grade school classroom to Jupiter, from rural, post-Civil War to an alien spaceship. While preserving the timeless charm and intrigue of Sherlock Holmes, these authors pen stories of the world’s greatest detective as you’ve never seen him before.

These stories are all set after the events of Narrelle M Harris' The Adventure of the Colonial Boy. The collection begins with "The Swordmaster's Secret", a few months after Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson return to London in 1894. The two men, newly lovers, have to solve a murder with two victims and no murder weapons. The stories follow Sherlock and John's lives together down the years, solving mysteries, and including a meeting with Oscar Wilde, a special Christmas, a case involving vinegar Valentines and a tale set in their retirement years in Sussex. The book contains: The Swordmaster's SecretA Less than Ideal GentlemanGod Rest ye Merry, GentlemenThe Case of the Vinegar ValentineWinter IceBoredThe Beekeepers' Children.

A boyhood mishap in York. A ghostly walking tour of Leicester. A deadly snowstorm on the moors above Middleham. Alien abduction in the very heart of the city of London. Loss of a beloved brother, death of an untrue cousin.Just some of the events recounted in these tales by authors inspired by King Richard III.Much-maligned since his death, the real man has often been lost in the shadow of the scheming villain of Shakespeare's famous play. Following the rediscovery of his centuries-lost grave in 2012, many people have come to question this evil reputation, and King Richard's supporters (known as Ricardians) are seizing the chance to bring his real history to a wider audience.The authors collected here have all, in their different ways, sought to cast a light on that story.Elegiac, mystical, brutal, light-hearted, uplifting.
