What would the Great Detective be like if Sherlock Holmes was a woman?
That's the question answered in Sherlock is a Girls’ Name, an anthology imagining Sherlock Holmes as female, in tall tales that follow the great detective across time and even space.
The stories in this collection, selected by long-time Sherlockian editors Narrelle M. Harris and Atlin Merrick, imagine Holmes in deep space, 1990s Russia, Victorian London, contemporary USA, worlds of magic and more.
Holmes' many Watsons include ghosts, robots, a young boy who doesn’t speak, a teenage tuba player, a stranger on a plane – and that's just to start. In each story Holmes and her Watson do what they do best: solve crimes and have adventures!
Anthology authors include:
Tansy Rayner Roberts, Eugen Bacon, Sarah Tollok, Verity Burns,
Dannye Chase, Kenzie Lappin, JD Cadmon, Stacy Lawhorne, Karen J. Carlisle, Katya de Becerra, Millie Billingsworth, Narrelle M. Harris, and Atlin Merrick.
Sarah is proud to have her story “Self Care” included in Already Gone from Alan Squire Publishing.
Did you ever wish, with every cell in your body, that you could run away? From home, from a person, from your job, from yourself? Physically or emotionally, on foot or purely in your own mind? In Already Gone, forty of today’s most exciting writers take flight in all these ways and more. In an electrifying hybrid collection of fiction and memoir, authors such as Deesha Philyaw, Amber Sparks, and Lilly Dancyger finish what Thelma & Louise started. From a reimagined tale of Lot’s wife fleeing a burning city to a secret elopement to avoid an arranged marriage, from a mother who wins the lottery and abandons her family to a rich man’s obsessive search through space and time, from a drag queen who transforms into her fantasy to a teenager who walks the city streets at night in search of a way out, Already Gone is a collection of runaway stories that explores what it means to fly, to flee, to escape—to search for who we are. These stories and essays take us to dangerous places in order to free us from what holds us back.
Sarah had two pieces of micro fiction included in The Alien Buddha's Microdoses: short poems and flash fictions. Poetry and flash selections, 21 words or less. Alien Buddha Press, November 2022
Flower is the story a peaceful, dimension-wandering Bigfoot. Flower visits the same little girl throughout her lifetime and across different realities, and an unlikely friendship blossoms.
In Things Improbable you may find the apocalypse is not as upsetting as expected and that golems are good at carrying luggage. Look and you'll see today's divinities beside demons, along with hungry bone fairies and a bigfoot immortal.
Here a Māori monster is not quite so monstrous, and a fallen angel a bit less than angelic. You can look through the eyes of a Korean boy one spooky city night, find a rougarou cure, or solve a really very tiny library crime.
Whatever improbable things you seek, open these covers and take a peek. Ghosts, giants, and changelings await.
With more than two dozen stories, Things Improbable is edited by Atlin Merrick
