I'm a huge fan of @yaoyaomavanas.bsky.social who does the covers of my books. She designed this card for me and I love it so much. Here's hoping that your holiday is filled with great books, big laughs, and wonderful people.

Ho! Ho! Ho! I'm giving away 4 Sherlock Society Gift Packs. (Signed book, enamel pin, and holiday card.) One each on FB, X, IG, and Bluesky. Repost and you're entered for a chance to win. I'll randomly select the winners this weekend!

How much do I love independent booksellers? Consider that The Sherlock Society is back up to #5 on the Indie Bestseller list. This is the 12th straight week it has been on the list. That’s every week since its release. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

I feel like I'm walking into the cafeteria on the first day of school and determined that this year I will overcome my social awkwardness and be at least cool-adjacent. (Self aware spoiler alert: I will not.) Still, happy to be here. My name's James! I wrote middle grade mysteries and spy novels.
