My Inspector Lestrade collection is doing well on Kindle UK in the "Cosmic and Eldritch horror" category. And I do love little juxtapositions like this... just ahead of one of my favorite books.

I'm very happy with how these editions came out, particularly the wraparound covers for the paperback and hardcover. Had to go with a large sized hardcover for volume 1 due to Amazon page number restrictions, but it looks good, and they look great as a set... #booksky #occultdetective #scottish

Reverted to the Wayne Miller covers for my Professor Challenger pastiches... makes a better match with the Holmes ones and just looks much better than anything else I came up with... I was so lucky to get the approval of the Conan Doyle estate to do these books. They've since trademarked Challenger.
