Yay!  My short story is being published in Sherlock’s Home . . . The Empty House.

Sherlockology and MX Publishing joined forces in support of the Undershaw Preservation Trust and offered Holmes fans the chance to have their own story published in an anthology called Sherlock’s Home, The Empty House.  The competition gained a massive response with nearly 400 entries from fans all over the world.

I decided to enter and am absolutely delighted that my story has been chosen, along with 31 other entries, to become part of this worthwhile publication.  The book will also include contributions from Undershaw patron Mark Gatiss and other famous supporters such as Stephen Fry and Douglas Wilmer.  (MX were not on the judging panel – just in case anyone thinks that’s why I got picked!)

It made me appreciate just how difficult short story writing really is.  I now have even more respect…
