  "The Adventure of the Empty House", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
  Public pressure forced Conan Doyle to bring the sleuth back to life, and explain his apparently miraculous survival of a deadly struggle with Professor Moriarty. This is the first Holmes story set after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, as recounted in "The Final Problem". The Hound of the Baskervilles had seen the return of a pre-Reichenbach Falls Sherlock Holmes, which only served to whet readers' appetites.
  Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Empty House" sixth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories.

  The Awakening Tetralogy - Book 3 
    
  Tranquility: A Village of Hope 
    
  Struggle or Enlightenment. Which truth will we teach our children? 
    
  Tranquility: A Spiritual Utopian village located in the isolated yet breathtaking Canadian Rocky Mountains, where settlers arrive in search of a slice of peace in an often hostile and violent world. A place where a young girl named Monique was born and raised by the residents of Tranquility and their neighboring First Nations native village. Having been surrounded by these enlightened individuals, Monique learns countless lessons of love she shares with us throughout these pages. 
    
  Tranquility: A Village of Hope is book 3 in The Awakening Tetralogy and is an eye-opening story centered on Monique’s extraordinary life and unique upbringing. Along the way, we learn what is possible if hope is embraced instead of fear and love rather than hate. We are also made aware of the difference we could each make in the world if we accepted the true definition of ‘Self’-less love, given without expectation of receiving anything in return, as opposed to living in a ‘Self’-ish world, as many do today and have throughout history, concerned only for ourselves.

  Infants of the Brush is historical fiction based on Armory v. Delamirie, a 1700s court case before the King's Bench against Paul de Lamerie, a silversmith. In the vein of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, Infants of the Brush is set in a time when climbing boys were forced up burning flues to dislodge harmful soot and coal ash. 
  Egan Whitcombe is just six years old when he is sold to Master Armory for a few coins. As one of Master Armory's eight broomers, Egan quickly learns that his life depends on absolute obedience. 
  Pitt, the leader of Master Armory's broomers, teaches Egan to sweep chimneys and negotiate for scraps of bread. Broken and starving, the boys discover friendship as they struggle to save five guineas, the cost of a broomer's independence.
