Lockdown's a crazy thing. You say you're doing two books this year, but really, why not three?
So am unveiling a 'lost' Edwardian/Georgian author called J Morton Lewis who wrote from 1909-1936. Found a fair bit about his life, even though it was quite hard going but he's never been reprinted (to my knowledge) and found enough genre/crime/sinister stories to make it worthwhile. Also appears he tried to create his own Sherlock Holmes with a detective called Browning and that'll be a nice addition to the detectives written during that period.
Stories are:
The Image of Gaudama
The Mystery of Bassover House
Superstition of the Seventy-Sixth
The Unseen Hand
The Shrine
The 3rd of October
The Indian Idol
Bishop’s Sacrifice
Mariette’s Revenge
The Glass of Sauterne
Melisande of the Mill
The Man Who Was a Coward
The Mantle of Elijah
Haney’s Secret Crime
A Duel of Brains
The Lady of the Woods
The Stranger
The League of Seven
Sentence of Doom
Cornered
Over the Wires
Bad Bargain
The Unknown Man
The Dance of Ninon
Arcadia
Five-Thirty At Charing Cross
After 10 Years
A Tangled Skein
Villiers’ Masterpiece
The Anniversary
The Work of Art
“For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow”
Return of the Failure
Lilies and Roses
The Great Bank Robbery
The bottom half of the contents may change - depends on how much work I get done on it, but yes, Noose & Gibbet coming back was the last thing I thought would happen, but I'm very glad it is.

Still hoping to do it at some point although if I do, I would have to charge £30 for the book due to current crazy printing (which I would hate as all of my books have been £12 and £20 since 2010). I don't have OCR to get the stories transcribed, and when I do it by hand my ADHD brain loses interest. And that's where we are at the moment. Hopefully once the British Library books comes out I'll get back on it.
