Hello and welcome to my new blog.
I am a writer based in the UK specialising in Sherlock Holmes stories, or ‘pastiches’, written in a style as close to the original as possible.
Some years ago, I came upon a timeline of Holmes stories, giving a date to each published adventure. One detail that struck me was an unexpected hiatus among the early stories. There seem to be have been no cases recorded that occurred between ‘The Adventure of the Speckled Band’ in April of 1883 and ‘The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton’ in January 1886.
For the past few years I have been chronicling what I believe may have happened in these ‘missing’ years. As of now, this consists of two finished novels (and a third in progress) along with five short stories (with a sixth soon to follow).
Here I will publish extracts from my novels and, from time to time, a short story.
I would also like to share part of the creative process, along with the occasional interesting snippet of information that I might unearth during the course of my research.
