I'm reading The Craftsman which is listed as book 1 of the series - book 2 is set to come out this year, and there's a 0.5 book as well. It looks like she intends to continue the series, though I can't find any official confirmation of it. Would this count for this task?

I think some of you have read Laurie R. King's books - she has edited about 5 collections of short mystery stories inspired by the Sherlock Holmes canon - I thought the first collection was quite good and I'll probably read another of the collections this season! https://www.goodreads.com/series/1844...
