of Holmes's First Case! Only those brave enough to subscribe to The Wildwood, Meredith Rose's newsletter, will receive this 12k word prequel to the Ladies of Baker Street series! January 29, 1881:
Afghanistan ruined her body,
but London has broken her heart. Dr. Siân Watson longs to shed the male disguise she used to join the British Army, but when you look like a bloke, it’s easier to amputate a man’s leg on a battlefield than buy a dress in London. Undaunted, she heads to the Criterion Hotel to find help. But when a chance encounter with an old friend leads to meeting the mesmerizing Sherlyn Holmes, Dr. Watson’s plans are upended—faster than you can say “the game is afoot.”

Now, instead of going home to Wales, she’s moving into 221B Baker Street with Miss Holmes, whose piercing deductions are as thrilling as they are unsettling. Life with the world’s only consulting detective is powerful medicine, but as they hunt for whoever is murdering cab drivers across London, Watson fears her growing affection for Holmes might injure her more deeply than any bullet. As Holmes’s obsession with the case pushes Watson into risks she swore never to take again, she must choose: whatever respectability a woman doctor can earn—or Sherlyn Holmes. Both is not an option.

When their quest for justice lands them in trouble with the law, Watson fears she has survived one war only to fall in a different kind of battle—one that may destroy what’s left of her heart. Read Free Excerpt is now available in

Meredith Rose, Scribbler of Peculiar Tales Scroll down An old-fashioned man with a big mustache says, "I certainly would never write anything like this!" A smirking man says, "She writes 'historical fiction'." A stodgy-looking man says, "Shocking lack of conformity!" A Scrooge-like old man says, "A bunch of romantic twaddle!" A broody man says, "Complete failure at being ordinary." A man standing dramatically in profile says, "Hopeful and uplifting endings are SO trite!" A man points to the list of peculiarities and says, "Is this Chick-lit?" A drunk old male professor says, "Not a serious novel..." An angry old man holding a book says, "She has abandoned all pretense of conventionality!" An old man sitting in a rocking chair says, "All this diversity is ridiculous!" A grumpy man at a big desk says, "Love, love, blah, blah--Write something IMPORTANT!" A young man sitting on the ground says, "Fantasy that's mostly about women? How unrealistic!" A posh man in a tuxedo says, "Lacks gravitas." Women from all over the world tell the men, "SHUT UP!"
