What’s going on with Narrelle right now? Why, this of course!
A Spirited and Most Courageous Prince
Those who have met me will know I have a bit of a thing for historical Richard the Third (as well as Shakespeare’s play).
You may like to know I’ve written a Richard III alternative history story called “Borrowed Robes” for the anthology, A Spirited and Most Courageous Prince – the proceeds of which go to Scoliosis Support & Research UK.
‘Borrowed Robes’ is the story of a contemporary theatre company rehearsing Shakepeare’s play about the Good King Richard, and speculating what their world might look like if he’d lost the battle of Bosworth.
A Spirited and Most Courageous Prince was released on 2 October – King Richard’s birthday, and features a foreword by the actor Robert Lindsay, who became a Ricardian after he played Shakespeare’s version of the character. (And it’s a delight to me that he references my story in his foreword!)
The ebook and paperback are both available through Amazon

The Haunting of Baker Street
I have a new tiny ebook of 221B ficlet stories – The Haunting of Baker Street! These wee fics were first published at my Patreon, and together they form the whole story of how Sherlock Holmes and John Watson come to haunt Baker Street and how, in the 21st century, two new tenants – girlfriends Caitlyn and Martie, end up helping them solve mysteries!
It has the tagline “Even legends pass away – but they don’t necessarily pass on!”
