A while ago, I wrote a short story and submitted it for an anthology – a collection of stories written by women, where Sherlock identifies as a woman. I wrote a classicly-set story (with an Aussie connection): The Case of the Toxic Teacake. Since then, I’ve been waiting to announce the news. And today is that day!
Pre-orders are now open, and I can now reveal the cover of Sherlock is a Girl’s Name, edited by Narrelle M Harris and Atlin Merrick. The anthology is to be published at the end of April, and you can pre-order (with 20% off) via Clan DeStine Press (Australia) or Improbable Press (UK).
Blurb:
What would the Great Detective be like if Sherlock Holmes was a woman?
In the tall tales of Sherlock is a Girl’s Name we answer this question, following Sherlock into deep space, 1990s Russian, Victorian London, contemporary USA, worlds of magic, and more.
And My story, The Case of the Toxic Teacake is one of them!
Here is the full wraparound cover reveal – showcasing each of the Sherlocks in the book. Can you guess which is mine?
