  From London's fog to Arabia's sands, a Legend gallops into Myth. 
  When a murdered aristocrat and a stolen obsidian statuette draw Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson into a web of intrigue, they embark on a journey that will challenge their wit, courage, and very understanding of the world. 
  The trail leads from the thundering hooves of the Epsom Derby to the ancient trade routes of Constantinople, and deep into the heart of the Arabian desert. As they uncover the secrets of the Obsidian Guild, Holmes and Watson find themselves entangled in a mystery that spans centuries, threatens empires, and reveals the timeless bond between man and horse. 
  Joined by an extraordinary team—the enigmatic Dr Amal El-Sharif, the determined Princess Liyana Sultan, the skilled craftsman Adrien d'Arcy, and the horse-whispering Khalid Al-Fahmi—our intrepid duo must decipher cryptic scrolls, navigate treacherous alliances, and confront an enemy as old as civilisation itself. With each hoofbeat, the line between myth and reality blurs, and the stakes race ever higher. 
  In a quest that intertwines the fate of nations with the legacy of legendary steeds, Holmes will be tested as never before. Can logic and reason prevail against forces that defy explanation? Or will the legendary detective finally encounter a mystery that outruns even his formidable powers? 
  "The Obsidian Stallion" heralds the dawn of Anna Charlotte Fox's thrilling new series, "Sherlock Holmes - Echoes Through Time". Brimming with equestrian lore, historical intrigue, and a touch of the mystical, this tale will enthral both devoted Holmes aficionados and newcomers alike. Saddle up for a journey where ancient wisdom and Victorian ingenuity race neck-and-neck, and the game is most definitely afoot!

  Not When I'm Gone

  The Maine of Not When I'm Gone is about mother nature, the sea, the woods, the tides, the seasons, sunrise and sunset. It is also about human nature, about locals on an island called Pulpit, locals from downstreet and wealthy summer people, the up-islanders, and about how these socially distinct populations disrupt the island calm when they mix.  Locale matters, so do characters, but central to Not When I'm Gone are events that happen on the Fourth of July weekend. Locals are drinking, partying, waiting for fireworks. The Coast Guard is like them, cruising the bay, but not patrolling much, most of the sailors below deck, with girlfriends, celebrating the holiday. It is the perfect moment for a multi-million drug drop to take place. A boat from Panama is hardly noticed when it slips into the bay.  Not When I'm Gone is told from alternating points of view: Famel, Sarah, Rick, Emily. The women try to help the men they love, the men try to help themselves. If all islands are included, with a longer and more difficult to patrol shoreline than the rest of the 49 other states combined, during Prohibition, the state of Maine was the focal point for rum running. Now drug runners have stepped in. The stakes are higher. And the fall from grace more dramatic.
