Short Stories and Collaborations

	A Case in Correspondence A series of communications (employing means as varied as re-used post cards and the agony columns of the Times) has come to light between Mary Russell and Other Important People. It follows the 1992 (not a typo!) tale published last year as MyStory (or, The Case of the Ravening Sherlockians.) Now that the Twenty Weeks of Buzz have drawn to a close, the full story is available for free download here.
	“Birth of a Green Man” An original and complete short story illuminating the history of a central character in The God of the Hive. It is printed in color on heavy 14×20 inch stock, ready for framing, a companion piece to last year’s “A Venomous Death.” Only 250 of them have been printed, and the copies are numbered and signed by both the author and the artist.
