A Short Holmes for E-Book Readers


The most popular chapter of my book Baker Street Beat has been the Sherlock Holmes pastiche.

“If you don’t read any other Holmes pastiche this year, please, please read the short story 'The Peculiar Persecution of John Vincent Harden,' which has to be the closest in tone and content to a Holmes work that I have read in a long time,” wrote Felicia Carparelli’s Sherlock Holmes Murder Blog.

“One of the best short pastiches that I have read,” said Ross K. Foad, in a “No Place Like Holmes” video review.

I'm delighted to announce that the short story, with a new introduction, is now available as a separate e-book for those who like pastiches but may not be interested in the Baker Street Beat essays. It's available now from Kindle in the U.S. and around the world. Soon it will be in other formats as well.

    INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT OF WORK FROM HOME
    Work from home theory is fast gaining popularity because of the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them. Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.

    Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline.

Since in today's competitive world both the parents have to work they need a secure place to leave behind their children who will take care of them and parents can also relax without being worried all the time. In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children.
