New story post to Curious Fictions
Sep. 26th, 2019 05:05 pmYes, Leece beat me to this announcement, which is embarrassing (much appreciated) but I do have another story, Candle to the Devil, up at Curious Fictions.
https://curiousfictions.com/authors/503-
I must emphasise that New Ceres, the planet that roleplays the 18th century, is not my creation, but the shared world created by Alisa Krasnostein and Tehani Wessely, who edited New Ceres Nights, the book where the story first appeared.
I've tidied it up but the edits are only small, and I do not include the framing which made the story fiction by a New Ceres author when it was originally published. Some of the details about Professor Moriarty surviving Reichenbach and re-establishing his empire are inspired by John Gardner's novels, The Return of Moriarty and The Revenge of Moriarty (1974 and 1975 respectively).
Primarily, of course, I acknowledge my debt to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and to Jane Austen. Essentially the story is unabashed fan fiction. :-)
I'm having some Mental Health Time Off next week and intend to use the time to prepare some more previously published stories to go up, having decided more of them have survived the Suck Fairy than at first thought. The ones that haven't have been quietly buried by moonlight in an undisclosed location.
PS: Also my debt to H.G. Wells, from whom Professor Moriarty stole a Time Machine.
