The storm hits September 2nd!
Hi, I'm James, author of The Sherlock Society. Since the series is set in Miami, it only makes sense to celebrate the up-coming release of Hurricane Heist all summer long!
This site is your home for activities, swag, a virtual book club, in-person tour dates, and a podcast featuring some of your favorite Middle Grade authors.
So, grab you deerstalker hat and plenty of sunscreen. The games are afoot!

Pre-Order Special
Hurricane Heist comes out on September 2nd; and I'm teaming up with three amazing independent bookstores with a special offer. If you pre-order from any of these stores with the links below, in addition to getting a copy of Hurricane Heist, you'll get this Sherlock Society Swag! (One note: these can only be delivered in the United States.)
Writer's Workshop Podcast
Welcome to the Sherlock Sessions. In each of these, I' talk with a Middle Grade author friend about a specific aspect of writing.
The episodes are 20-30 minutes long and are also posted on my YouTube page. Educators are welcome to use them with their students. (How lucky am I to have such talented friends?)
