Sherlock Holmes: The Crossovers Casebook - October Previews
Moonstone Books' Sherlock Holmes: The Crossovers Casebook is listed in the October Previews, with a target publication date of January 2012.
My story is "The Adventure of the Fallen Stone" takes place in 1917, a year after Philip Jose Farmer's The Peerless Peer, and sends Holmes and Watson to the quiet English village of Wold Newton. Of course there is much crossover goodness, with appearances by the detective Harry Dickson ("the American Sherlock Holmes"), a femme fatale of the Sax Rohmer variety, and an appearance by another Holmesian detective who also resided on Baker Street. Oh, and the mystery also has a strong tie to my Avenger tale "Happy Death Men," recently out in Moonstone's The Avenger: The Justice, Inc. Files.
The Diamond Item Code is OCT111169.

Tales of the Shadowmen 8: Agents Provocatuers
Was given a "last chance offer" last Sunday to contribute a "shortish story" to this year's Tales of the Shadowmen anthology. Cranked out a 1900 word story, "Marguerite's Tears" (as in Marguerite, Lady Blakeney, the wife of the Scarlet Pimpernel), and sent it off today.
The publisher of Black Coat Press lives in France and it's midnight there . . . damn time zones! Now I have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out if it's been accepted or not!

The Return of Madame Atomos
Amidst the recent high-profile releases of The Green Hornet Casefiles and The Avenger: The Justice, Inc. Files, I'd be remiss if I overlooked mentioning the release of the third volume in Black Coat Press' translations of the French series Madame Atomos by Andre Caroff.
From BCP publisher Jean-Marc Lofficier's page of Madame Atomos:
The deadly Madame Atomos (real name: Kanoto Yoshimuta) is a brilliant but twisted middle-aged female Japanese scientist who is out to revenge herself against the United States for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki -- where she was born.
A sample plot had the title character unleash a deadly new threat, such as radioactive zombies, deadly giant mushrooms, a madness-inducing ray, flaming tornadoes, etc.
The heroes opposing Madame Atomos are: Smith Beffort of the FBI, Dr. Alan Soblen, and Yosho Akamatsu of the Japanese Secret Police. Dr. Soblen was killed by Madame Atomos in No. 11. With the help of former master criminal Owen Bernitz, Beffort also created the "Green Dragon" squad to fight Madame Atomos.
An interesting development was the creation by Madame Atomos of a younger version of herself, Mie Azusa, dubbed Miss Atomos, groomed to continue the fight should Madame Atomos came to die. Mie eventually fell in love with Beffort, married him and joined forces with him to fight her evil progenitrix. They had a son, Bob, who was killed by Madame Atomos.
Madame Atomos herself regenerated into a younger self in No. 13, but remained as revenge-bent as ever. The series was left somewhat unfinished by the cancellation of the "Angoisse" imprint.
Contents:My short story contribution to this volume, "The Atomos Affair," takes place during the New York Blackout on November, 9, 1965, which a later Atomos book said the villainess caused.
- Introduction by J.-M. Lofficier
- Miss Atomos vs. The KKK [Miss Atomos contre KKK] (1966)
- The Return of Madame Atomos [Le Retour de Mme Atomos] (1966)
- The Atomos Affair (short story by Win Scott Eckert)
Miss Atomos' fight to the death against the KKK, and her eventual betrayal after falling in love with Smith Beffort, herald the return of the sinister Madame Atomos -- deadlier than ever!
US$22.95 / GBP £14.99
5x8 trade paperback, 288 pages
The story involves two secret agents and their avuncular boss. I hope you'll check it out. :-)
