I just got sacked. I'm permanently drunk. I have cancer. I'm inescapably gay. I was hit by a bus. And, incidentally, I've fallen in love with a stranger whose life I saved.
My name is Andrew Thomas, newly-unemployed Sherlock Holmes scholar, and I don't know how to do any of this.
I know only Holmes can help me untangle this madness, and he isn't real. Except he absolutely appeared in my house, told me I'm in love with a man I just met, and then in a fit of pique I sent him away.
Maybe he's a hallucination or a specter or a ghost (pick one?), but now I desperately need Holmes' help.
So to find the answer to my case and the man of my dreams, I'm chasing a fictional character through London with my very own Watson (hi Mina).
Business as usual.

whether he's a grimy student in 1980, a consulting detective in 47BCE, or a smitten neighbour in 1969, will always find his...

whether he is a military doctor in 1917, an angry Saxon with an axe in 1086, or a priest in 1603.

 

A Question of Time is an illustrated journey through the ages told by our heroes, by their friends, and by a scorched manuscript.

Ever wondered if you're who you're really supposed to be? In these three tales of queer romance and adventure, you'll find people becoming their truest selves.

Eighteen-year-old Tuli is a student desperate for independence. Protected by her mother, then helped by her exciting new friend Rishona, Tuli learns she can shape-shift into a flying, fire-breathing dragon.

Alex is a skeptical paranormal researcher who debunks hauntings - until he discovers a chilling secret about the local manor, encounters an impossibly real ghost named Griffin, then fights an old, old evil to save the handsome specter's soul.

Robbie has aspirations of adventure far above his station, especially for someone people see as a scullery maid. He meets Selene, a young noblewoman, doing all she can to delay a wedding she doesn't want.

With the help of friends and even a few enemies, Robbie, Alex and Tuli will find love, overcome expectations, and at last become who they were always meant to be.

Here are stories for lovers of chupacabras and hulders, griffins and gargoyles.

Here be darkly cheery tales of ancient creatures beneath still waters, in the attic, or the shadows right by the bed.

Herein an autistic hiker meets a cryptid who wants her camera; a Japanese tanuki seeks his fox daughter; and two women fall in love, never mind one's a swamp monster.

Here be stories of changelings, nix, and demons adopted, of hungry kraken and cryptids we'd see if only, if only we looked into treetops, behind doors, or in our own back gardens.

Here there be monsters.

 

Here be stories of South African grootslang

and bayou grundylow,

tales of elementals, jackelopes,

and flying motels.

 

Within you'll find tiny leviathans and rock whales,

cambion and kelpie,

a girl between time,

and a man who saves a gun's life.

 

These are stories of cryptids who sing or swim or

save us, living side-by-side so often unseen

...and then seen.

 

So very much seen.
