“SUCH a rich and varied collection! Every piece is unique and immerses the reader in some new facet of these characters and the many worlds they inhabit. Each story is a fascinating mix of the familiar and the newly imagined. I thought I knew what to expect from Sherlock Holmes and was thrilled to discover that I had no idea!!”

“I am just in awe about how wonderfully produced the volume is, aside from the fab aspect of the creative content itself . . .looking through it has been with a lump in my throat. I can’t think of a more lovely tribute to the Holmes canon becoming free and cl(que)ear than this project appearing promptly, in all of its thought and care and commitment, to be shared with others, now that the curtain has been fully pulled aside.”
