Even as this volume is being beaten into shape by a copyeditor more short stories are being written and planned. There are many characters in the green room clamouring for their moment in the sun. Professor Postmartin and Hatbox Winstanley from ‘A Rare Book Of Cunning Device’ will be teaming up to track down witch’s curses in Enfield and hunting unicorns in Havering. Winter and Sommer face a curious cold case in Schwerte while a shopkeeper in Redbridge has to negotiate a tricky deal with some talkative urban foxes.
So if you enjoyed these stories I can promise you more are on their way.
Until then, good luck, stay safe and keep the faith.
