Here’s what I wrote this year:

• 80,000 words of a murder mystery novel
• The second half of a commissioned horror novel begun last year
• Structural revisions of Jekyll & Hyde: Consulting Detectives
• Ten short stories intended to be published as a collection, Great Robots of History
• Three short stories for specific themes or commissions
• An article for an upcoming non-fiction book

All in all, I wrote 175,000 words and spent 243 hours writing.

I had the following work published:

The paperback edition of Sherlock Holmes and the Twelve Thefts of Christmas (Titan Books), Oct 2023

• ‘The Brazen Head of Westinghouse’ in IZ Digital (Interzone), May 2023
• ‘The Debt Owed to the Lady of the Lake’ in In Another Time, Issue 1, Jul 2023

I made five other sales of short stories that will be published in 2024.

Next year I’ll be focusing on the publication of Jekyll & Hyde: Consulting Detectives in September, from Titan Books. I’m very excited about it! More details soon.
