Q: Hey, WW, what's with all these sequels? A: It started with a story I wrote about Sherlock Holmes's early career as a young man in his twenties, set in the late 1870s, and based on my interpretation of those cases which are mentioned in MUSG and various other stories. What began with a single story led to a series. If you want to read them in order, it's... The Curious Case of the Prestidigitator's Python The Mystery of the Tankerville Leopard The Abominable Affair of the Charming Chiromancer The Particular Problem of Postern Prison (WIP) Q: Is it just me or has one of your stories gone missing? A: Yes - you're thinking of 'The Shocking Case of the Nude Cyclist of Polperro'. It's all my fault, I'm afraid! I tried to delete a chapter and ended up deleting the whole thing. However, I will be reposting and I will be finishing it in the near future. | |||||||
