This series of short stories is set after the events of 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 Valentine and a tale set in their retirement years in Sussex.

The Haunting of Baker Street – on sale for US$1.24
Even legends pass away – but they don’t necessarily pass on!

Tales of the Minstrel Tongue – on sale for US$1.49
The short stories of Tales of the Minstrel Tongue tell of those who are born with the gift of ‘the Minstrel Tongue’ – the ability to wield magic through music, and so protect humanity from monsters. This magic also manifests in other creatives – dancers and crafters can also weave magic through their art and actions.
Through this collection, from the 13th century to the 21st, you will encounter grieving gods and grieving girls, poorly summoned demons, elemental powers, and talking ravens – and those with magic in their veins and voices, who seek to put the world back into balance.
