London is never quiet. It only pretends to be. Fog curls through gaslit streets, shadows linger where they should not, and some crimes refuse to stay buried. Inspector James Henderson has seen murder, madness, and grief, but nothing prepares him for the secrets hidden behind antique shop doors, whispered in alleys, or lurking beneath the Thames. Shadows of London is the first book in Inspector Henderson Mysteries, a collection of interconnected short stories ranging from chilling supernatural encounters to grounded, unsettling mysteries. Some cases are solved by logic. Others by courage. And some leave scars that never fade.

The House of Gilded Silence is a darkly fantastical tale born from a dream I once had, a dream that lingered long after I woke, full of impossible houses, shifting forms, and the weight of inherited power. It tells the story of Elias, a boy born into a mansion forgotten by the world, where shapeshifting statues live under the strict rule of a father forged of solid gold. The house enforces its own merciless laws, transforming intruders into stone and shaping the lives of those bound within. Elias grows up learning fear, grief, and the limits of endurance but also discovers love and choice through his mother, a gentle stepfather, and ultimately Clara, a young woman who teaches him what it means to be human. When the father returns, claiming his power once more, Elias must confront his past, the house, and the magic that shaped him. In the end, he chooses life, love, and mortality over the perfection of gold, finally stepping into a fragile, ordinary existence that is entirely his own. This story is inspired by the vivid, haunting dream that sparked it a world where the line between stone and flesh, obedience and freedom, fear and love, is never quite clear.
