When British soldier Alex McCloud is injured and blinded in Afghanistan during 2010, he is offered the chance of sight using bionic implants, developed by Professor Goldman of Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, in conjunction with Augmented Reality specialist Major Jennifer Sherlock of the CIA. These implants provide Alex with sight and much, much more, proving to be of great interest to both the MOD and the CIA.

Listen for the sounds and sights of a mysterious night in Sherlock Holmes in the Hound of Baskervilles.
Sherlock Holmes, the best-known detective (sorry, consulting detective) on earth, celebrates his one hundred and sixtieth birthday on 6 January 2014. As a tribute to his genius, and to mark the occasion, The Holmes Sutra is presented (by a crazed fan) as: (a) a compilation of one hundred and sixty mantras (aphorisms/slogans/sayings - call them what you will) - some original, some canonical, some based on various print/media adaptations - aimed to make Sherlock Holmes (and his fans) smile, and (b) a test of the readers' Holmes Mania Quotient (HMQ)- based on the resulting HMQ score, the particular condition/stage of Holmes Mania would be determined, with possibilities of a cure. Happy birthday, Sherlock - this is your birthday gift; hope you like it.

Cocktales and Nibbles is a collection of twelve stories, ranging from the shortest such as ‘Lite in the Sky’, which was my first story written in 1973, to the lengthy ‘A Universal Threat’, written in 2017. The title of this book, Cocktales and Nibbles, is meant to signify the short stories as ‘Nibbles’, while the longer stories are representative of the ‘Cocktales’. Please forgive my change to the spelling of ‘Cocktails’ – this is how my mind works! These stories were written over a period of forty-four years, which includes the time to write and publish my six full-length novels and autobiographical works. I do hope that you enjoy these figments of my imagination. J. S. Raynor
