    <about><![CDATA[I'm one half of the small press publishing house known as Ash-Tree Press. We're unpretentious, but think that we've made a serious contribution to reviving, and keeping alive, an interest in the supernatural genre over the past decade or so. You'll find details of our work at<br/><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ash-tree.bc.ca/ashtreecurrent.html">www.ash-tree.bc.ca/ashtreecurrent.html</a><br/><br/>I edited a couple of volumes for the Oxford Sherlock Holmes series; have written more Sherlockian articles than I care to remember, and am a proud investitured member of the Baker Street Irregulars and a Master Bootmaker of the Boootmakers of Toronto (Canada's national Sherlockian Society).<br/><br/>My tastes in literature are wide-ranging (as you will see from the books I've listed).<br/><br/>Glad to have you as a friend.]]></about>
