SMFS Member Publication News: Toni L. P. Kelner
SMFS list
member Toni L. P. Kelner’s short story, “The Adventure of the Six Sherlocks”
appears in the just released, For The Sake Of The Game: Stories Inspired
By The Sherlockian Canon. Published by Pegasus Books, the anthology is available
in a variety of formats including print, audio, and digital from the publisher,
Amazon,
and other vendors.
Amazon
Synopsis:
In a sensational follow-up to Echoes
of Sherlock Holmes and In the
Company of Sherlock Holmes, a brand-new anthology of
stories inspired by the Arthur Conan Doyle canon.
For the Sake of the Game is the latest volume in
the award-winning series from New
York Times bestselling editors Laurie R. King and Leslie S.
Klinger, with stories of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and friends in a variety
of eras and forms. King and Klinger have a simple formula: ask some of the
world’s greatest writers―regardless of genre―to be inspired by the stories of
Arthur Conan Doyle.
The
results are surprising and joyous. Some tales are pastiches, featuring the
recognizable figures of Holmes and Watson; others step away in time or place to
describe characters and stories influenced by the Holmes world. Some of the
authors spin whimsical tales of fancy; others tell hard-core thrillers or
puzzling mysteries. One beloved author writes a song; two others craft a
melancholy graphic tale of insectoid analysis.
This
is not a volume for readers who crave a steady diet of stories about Holmes and
Watson on Baker Street. Rather, it is for the generations of readers who were
themselves inspired by the classic tales, and who are prepared to let their
imaginations roam freely.
Featuring
Stories by: Peter S. Beagle, Rhys Bowen, Reed Farrel Coleman, Jamie
Freveletti, Alan Gordon, Gregg Hurwitz, Toni L. P. Kelner, William Kotzwinkle
and Joe Servello, Harley Jane Kozak, D. P. Lyle, Weston Ochse, Zoe Sharp, Duane
Swierczynski, and F. Paul Wilson.

and robotics start-up companies. But Vic, haunted by personal loss and hounded
by a commander who despises him, is unraveling fast. Worse, his investigation
soon uncovers major corruption among Pittsburgh’s star robotics entrepreneurs,
that the city’s gangsters have gone straight, and Vic’s commander and
colleagues are only interested in promotions, pensions, and pats on the back.
Just as the case and his career are on the verge of collapse, Vic struggles to
make sense of his work and life while uncovering a series of deeply buried
truths, and tracking a murderer who is desperate to kill again.
