My latest Lego project - the Hummingbird

What if Sherlock Holmes’ notorious enemy wasn’t a criminal mastermind - but his own creator?https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mx-publishing/sherlock-holmes-and-the-man-who-believed-in-fairies

One of the most compelling things about writing Holmes past the canon is placing him against real historical tensions. In Sherlock Holmes and Operation Hecate, Holmes faces not just crime, but ideology. A fascist Black Shirt conspiracy lurking beneath respectable society. #SherlockHolmes

“On the Moor, Sherlock Holmes records his many effective disguises and trips to local drinking holes where he knocks back tankards of Devonshire cider…” mybook.to/FootstepsMoor

The older I get, the more I admire how carefully Conan Doyle structured a Holmes story nothing wasted, everything purposeful. It’s a high bar to aim for. #SherlockHolmes #AmWriting #DetectiveFiction

Moving Holmes into the 1930s has made me think — what happens when deduction meets ideology rather than individuals? A different kind of challenge entirely. #SherlockHolmes #AmWriting #HistoricalFiction

Update on progress of Sherlock Holmes and Operation Hecate open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

WIP: That’s the edits completed for Sherlock Holmes and Operation Hecate completed and submitted. #SherlockHolmes

I’m pleased to announce I’ve signed a contract for my second Sherlock book with @mxpublishing.bsky.social In ‘Sherlock Holmes and Operation Hecate’ Sherlock faces a dark threat in 1930s Britain #SherlockHolmes #AmWriting #HistoricalFiction

WIP: ‘The streets of London in late autumn carried a chill that hinted at the winter to come. The fog had not yet thickened into the opaque clouds that would soon shroud the city. Cars hissed past, tires squealing against the ever-damp cobblestones.’

I’m pleased to announce that my novel “Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Black Pharaoh” was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Fiction/Novel category of the 2026 Delaware Press Association awards. #SherlockHolmes

Every mystery starts with a small inconsistency the detail everyone else overlooks. I’ve always loved how one clue can change the entire story. What’s your favourite kind of mystery; clever deduction or shocking twist? #SherlockHolmes #Mystery #CrimeFiction #AmWriting

My latest slightly Easter themed Substack open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

Holmes is often called cold or detached yet some of Doyle’s most human moments come when he quietly cares more than he admits. Which story shows Holmes at his most human? #SherlockHolmes #Sherlockian

Another #Lego botanical project finished

When writing Footsteps on the Moor, I wanted the landscape to feel as threatening as the mystery itself. Doyle often let setting do half the storytelling. #SherlockHolmes #DetectiveFiction

Holmes isn’t interesting because he knows everything. He’s interesting because he notices what everyone else ignores. Doyle understood the power of observation. #SherlockHolmes #Sherlockian #DetectiveFiction

Why Holmes was Watson’s greatest case see my article #sherlockholmes open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

So one of my hobbies is Lego here are some Lego tulips that I think brighten up the place #Lego

Curious when did you first discover Sherlock Holmes? Book, TV adaptation, film, or something else entirely? #SherlockHolmes #Sherlockian

Writing Sherlock Holmes always raises the same question: how much is deduction… and how much is atmosphere? Doyle balanced both perfectly. #SherlockHolmes #AmWriting #DetectiveFiction

Every Sherlock Holmes reader seems to have one story they return to again and again. Mine changes depending on mood. What’s yours? #SherlockHolmes #Sherlockian #DetectiveFiction

Holmes feels different outside Baker Street the moor, the coast, isolated houses where reason seems thinner. Which story has the strongest atmosphere for you? #SherlockHolmes #Sherlockian #DetectiveFiction

Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie grew to hate their most successful creations - I explore why in my latest Substack open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

“Accordingly, Inspector Lestrade was despatched and arrived within a few hours. He was soon covered with dust and soot complaining about evidence having been destroyed by army boots.” From my WIP currently being considered for publication. Waiting is the worst time.

One thing I’ve learned writing Sherlockian fiction: atmosphere matters as much as plot. Fog. Isolation. Landscape. Silence. They do half the detective work before Holmes even speaks. It’s something I leaned into in Footsteps on the Moor. What’s your favourite #SherlockHolmes setting?

The case for Holmes as an adventurer as well as a detective #Holmes #booksky open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

Most modern detective duos still run on Conan Doyle’s code. Holmes & Watson weren’t just characters — they were a structure. Genius, conscience, and reader proxy. New Sherlock Adjacent piece. open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

Sherlock Holmes didn’t decline because Conan Doyle lost talent — he declined because Holmes became a brand. Some later stories The Solitary Cyclist, The Three Gables, The Mazarin feel publishable only because the name guaranteed it. New Sherlock Adjacent piece 👇 open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

With the holidays behind us, it’s been encouraging to see Footsteps on the Moor hold steady on Audible and perform well on Kindle. Atmosphere, fog, and a Holmesian mystery still seem to find their readers. Onward to the next case.
