Praise for The She-Wolf of Baker Street
"An interesting spin on the traditional Sherlock Holmes stories, using the tropes of the originals alongside queer representation and cryptids to create something unique and give the characters their own voices, complications, and struggles alongside the mystery and intrigue that always sits well with a good Sherlock Holmes retelling like this one. I enjoyed that the traditional characters were at home in a modern and paranormal world; in fact, I think it’s the kind of world that suits a quirky character like Sherlock Holmes quite well."
— Ashleigh Meikle, Sisters in Crime Australia
Praise for The Only One in the World
"A prize-winning collection that riffs on the stories and mythology of Sherlock Holmes is 'sheer unadulterated fun'."
— Erich Mayer, ArtsHub
