Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written 42 books, mainly are Sherlocl Holmes short stories, Anthologies and Volumes. I first started writing Health and diet books but found I was much more suited to writing mysteries. I know it’s early in the year yet but my first Christmas baking recipe book will be coming out in less than a week. I’m really excited about it.
