The Medical Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson
Arthur Conan Doyle was a GP before he became a writer. He uses his medical knowledge widely in the Sherlock Holmes stories. He bases the deductive skills of his hero detective on the diagnostic techniques a GP uses with a patient. He even gives Sherlock a GP sidekick.

The Medical Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson takes a definitive look at how Conan Doyle uses these 52 diseases in the stories. It also gives a historical perspective on the Victorian understanding of the diseases, using the textbooks Conan Doyle would very likely have had sitting on his consulting room shelves.

Fated Moon
Billionaire werewolf, Trevor Dare, has learned two things – first, a wolf has no control over who his Fated Mate might turn out to be. And second, you should never kill a pack Alpha unless you want that Alpha position for yourself. Unfortunately, he learned that last lesson a little too late, and now the most notorious rogue werewolf in the city is wondering if he has what it takes to become an effective Alpha. Detective Melissa Cartwright isn't even sure she believes in all the Fated Mates business. She can barely wrap her head around the fact that there are real live werewolves roaming her city, let alone the fact that she's dating one. But when Trevor's world starts to become all too real, Mel finds herself wondering if she's woman enough to handle it. As their bond deepens and grows, the mysterious Lycan Syndicate moves to assert its will over their lives. Trevor is given a choice – kill Melissa himself, or bite her and make her one of them. They should know by now the rogue wolf doesn't take orders from anyone.
The Secret Life of Squirrels
The grey squirrels on the south coast of Hampshire are having food problems. It’s winter and there is little food – raiding the local bird table is not an option. A big seagull guards the food for the smaller birds. What can the greys do? Someone finds a video on the animal social media ‘Metube’ which claims that the trees growing green acorns grow them all year round – an evergreen food source! The problem is that greys aren’t allowed on the Isle of Wight where the trees grow. The red squirrels and humans don’t want them there either, as Rufus, red squirrel leader, tells them in no uncertain terms! The greys take to boats and try many weird and wonderful ideas to cross the great blue water that separates them. But the reds fight back big time. Who will win?
