Just sent off a short story for an anthology by
Obverse Books. Long story short, it's an anthology of Sherlock Holmes stories set in an alternate universe, in which not just one Holmes, but every Holmes ever created has come to life.
In my story, "The Reichenbach Fall," Sir Arthur Conan Doyle confronts his Final Problem when he meets one of the Holmeses at a point in his life where he blames Holmes for his life's failures, and has already unsuccessfully tried to kill him off in writing.
It's quite different from anything I've written before, and it was quite a challenge to write.
Not sure when the anthology is coming out, but if you're looking for a collection of wickedly clever, mind-bending writing, do check out Obverse's other offerings, especially the anthologies containing stories by my friend
Helen Angove.
