Story Profile– Think of the Children
When Belanger Books announced their anthology The Nefarious Villains of Sherlock Holmes, featuring stories revolving around various bad guys Holmes comes across over the course of the Canon. I immediately knew that I wanted to write about a character who is referenced in The Sign of the Four: a villain who preys on little children. The killer is only mentioned in an intriguing line of dialogue, and Holmes also mentions a rather disgusting fellow who is far kinder in the inside than one might expect him to be from his personality. I knew that I had to tell the story of both characters.
You can find my story, “Think of the Children,” here.
