Hello everyone,

This is just  quick update to let you know that the book is ready. The eBook will be sent to backers tomorrow. Please look for it in your inbox. The eBook will come to you in epub, mobi, and pdf formats. I'm hoping to ship out the paperback and hardcover books by the end of the month so you'll get your copy long before December 1st.  Backers, look for another update about the eBook tomorrow. 

Also, if you backed the project and still have not completed your reward survey, please get it done as soon as possible. I don't want you to miss out on this wonderful collection of new Sherlock Holmes stories.

I also wanted to let you know about my two new Kickstarter projects which are launching on Monday. Please follow along at the links below and be the first to back the campaigns:

With the arrival of 1887, Sherlock Holmes's reputation had begun to grow.  Now, in the year of the classic tales "The Reigate Squires" and "The Five Orange Pips", Holmes is becoming ever more sure of himself –– a trend that will continue as we make our way through his literary chronology.  1888 was a busy year for Holmes and Watson.  If Dr. Watson is to be believed, The Sign of Four, “A Scandal in Bohemia,” and “The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor” all took place in this year (I would also argue that The Valley of Fear is set in the same year - ed.).  As if all that weren’t enough, 1888 is remembered (albeit infamously) as the year that Jack the Ripper unleashed an autumn of terror on the citizens of London.  While there are no Holmes vs. the Ripper stories in this volume, the authors of the later stories have all alluded to the atmosphere of terror permeating Holmes’s London at that time. The game is afoot! Follow the campaign by CLICKING HERE!

Two-time Nebula Award winner EDWARD BRYANT is one of the most celebrated writers and critics in science-fiction and horror.  These first two volumes of the complete retrospective of his works include a number of his influential pieces, autobiographical essays, contributions from fellow authors including Connie Willis, Steve Rasnic Tem, Cynthia Felice and others–––as well as an entire section dedicated to his lifelong friendship with HARLAN ELLISON in volume one, and a rare BATMAN novelette in volume two, co-written with DAN SIMMONS!
