December video Livechat Rewards Tomorrow!


Argh. After a program update last month (at least that’s what we think was the issue), the sound  was out of sync. I’ve spent all evening trying to sort it out. I had to call in the cavalry – my IT Dearheart. We updated OBS and fiddled with some settings – and looks like we may have cracked it!






Patreon supporters of $5 tier (Conspirator) and above can join me for their video livechat reward tomorrow (Sat 11.30am – Adelaide time ACDT)


See you then!


If you would like to join me next month – you can pledge your support here:

Where's Holmes 2 has arrived, with another Mrs Hudson adventure!


Look what arrived in the mail!





The Where’s Holmes Vol II anthology was published by Specul8 Publishing in Queensland. It’s their second ‘absent Sherlock Holmes’ anthology, and the second to feature one of my Mrs Hudson stories, and other ‘absent Sherlock Holmes’ stories by Aussie authors.

This one contains Mrs Hudson and the Forgotten Letter (set approx. 3 months after Doyle’s The Final Solution).





I have a limited number of paperback copies available HERE. RRP $19.99


Mrs Hudson and the Forgotten Letter is dedicated to my friend, Mark Calderwood who, sadly, passed in December, 2020. Mark helped with my research on Japanese culture for this story.


If you haven’t read Mrs Hudson’s first adventure, then grab a copy of Volume I (on sale now), with Mrs Hudson’s first adventure, Mrs Hudson Investigates.


Or buy a copy of both (at discounted price) RRP $45. On sale for $40 for both volume I and II. (Limited number available.)


Also features Conan Doyle’s infamous story, The Final Problem.
