Dark Regions Press have just made my second book available for pre-order - The Impossible Casebook of Sherlock Holmes - a quartet of novella length accounts of the detective's encounters with the uncanny and the supernatural. Well, I say my book, but really my input was to transcribe a number of documents written by the late Dr. John H. Watson, which were found in sealed envelopes in a battered old tin dispatch box earlier in the year (full details of the discovery are in the book's foreword). This has taken some months, since the good doctor's handwriting was practically indecipherable in places - though I hope the few places where I had to fill in the blanks are consistent with the original accounts. www.darkregions.com/sherlock_holmes.html

Thanks, chaps. I'm a huge Holmes fan myself, have been since I was a child, which is what made the prospect of writing these stories both intriguing and extremely daunting.

I received my copies of the book - now retitled 'Sherlock Holmes - The Impossible Cases' - a few days ago, and I'm hugely pleased with the production values at Dark Regions Press. The limited edition hardbacks have a genuine vintage feel to them, which suits the subject matter and the style in which I attempted to write the stories. There's a picture of the hardback, and the trade paperback (which will be available soon) at the DRP site. www.darkregions.com/products/Sherlock-Holmes-The-Impossible-Cases-by-Daniel-McGachey.htmlI should also say I'm very grateful to Jim French Productions, who provided CDs of my Imagination Theater radio adaptation of 'The Voice in the Smoke' to go out with the Deluxe edition. jimfrenchproductions.com/zc137m/
