***A WATTPAD FEATURED STORY!*** I recently started posting flash fiction (most of it very silly) to my Snapchat and decided to save and share them here on Wattpad. I'll post to Snapchat every day, and add the stories to this book every Friday (I know most people don't like getting Wattpad updates every day). If you want to check out the stories as they're written, follow me on Snapchat!

***A WATTPAD FEATURED STORY!*** It is nearing the turn of the 22nd century, and government-mandated social networking has virtually eliminated privacy and made detective work nearly obsolete. Much to his dismay and shame, Sherlock Holmes never has any cases to solve. He distracts himself from his professional failings with bare-knuckle boxing at an underground fight club and vials of cocaine and morphine. John Watson spends his days in an operating theatre on an Army base in Afghanistan, doing his best to patch up the wounded and failing more often than he'd like. The dark, violent worlds in which both men choose to live complicate their romantic lives and cause them terrible suffering but set them on paths that are destined to cross. BEFORE HOLMES MET WATSON is the prequel to the novel, SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE ADVENTURE OF THE PAPER JOURNAL, an action-packed adventure and love story set in an eerily dystopian near future. I started selling the ebook of BEFORE HOLMES MET WATSON, so I'm converting the Wattpad book to a sample. You can still read the book for FREE though.

Sherlock Holmes takes on a case involving a prolific blackmailer, and the lengths to which he goes to resolve the matter reveal a dark, incredibly manipulative side of him that leaves John Watson doubting whether he ever knew his dear friend at all. The consequences of Sherlock's actions unfold with catastrophic results that threaten to destroy his relationship with John, which both men are coming to realise is deeply felt romantic love. SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE ADVENTURE OF THE PAPER JOURNAL is a clever re-imagining of some of the classic Sherlock Holmes stories that expertly balances an action-packed adventure set in an eerily familiar dystopian future with a delicate love story. Writers can't survive without readers, so I'm extraordinarily pleased you've decided to give my work a look when you have so many choices. Please let me know what you think in the comments!

This was my entry to the XPrize short story contest. Here's the story prompt: Your flight has been mysteriously transported 20 years into the future. How could this happen? Wait, that's not important. Take a deep breath. Look around. Without a doubt, the world has changed. What new technologies and innovations have reshaped the way we live? Your short story is a first-person account of the passenger seated in 14C aboard ANA Flight #008. What does this person experience as they arrive in 2037 and explore a changed world? How has emerging (or not-yet-invented) technology altered society for the better, and how does your character discover and interact with this technology? We are hopeful for our future, and we ask that your story creatively weaves technology and culture, envisioning an optimistic and exciting future for mankind. Everything I try to write turns into a love story (lol), so it's no surprise I didn't do well in a hard sci fi competition. I hope you enjoy my story more than the judges did!
