My Story “The Revealed Room” Has Been Published in Sherlock Holmes: Into the Fire!

My Story “The Revealed Room” Has Been Published in Sherlock Holmes: Into the Fire!

 

Just released: Belanger Books has released Sherlock Holmes: Into the Fire, an anthology of stories that retell some of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short stories with a twist.  Conan Doyle wrote a collection of tales featuring crimes, twists of fate, and weird events and titled it Round the Fire Stories.  None of these tales directly featured Sherlock Holmes (though there is a possibility that Holmes is referenced obliquely in a couple of them).  In Sherlock Holnes: Into the Fire, each of these stories has been retold in order to feature Sherlock Holmes in a prominent role. 



 

 

My story is “The Revealed Room,” a reworking of Conan Doyle’s “The Story of the Sealed Room.”  Take a look!
