“While I have borrowed a smidge from Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, and Edgar Allan Poe, this work could never have been written had it not been for the enduring brilliance of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As a boy of eleven, I first discovered the world of Sherlock Holmes, and I have been entertained and fascinated by the stories of the famed detective my entire life. Adding to the body of work that is the world of Sherlock Holmes has been a dream of mine since I picked up my first Holmes story. It has truly been a labor of love. I only hope I have honored the original Doyle Canon with this addition.”

“On the Book Front: We're in the last week of the Kickstarter campaign for Sherlock Holmes: The French Conundrum. The campaign ends Sunday, November 4. We only need 5 more backers to reach the second Stretch Goal. When we pass 50 backers, my publishers will offer all backers a mystery bundle of $50 of Sherlock Holmes books in PDF format. That is in addition to whatever package you have chosen as a backer. P.S. And if you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, there is still an AMAZING opportunity for your name to be assigned to a character in the final book of the SINISTER HOUSE Series.”
