The Sherlockian Interview - Paul Hiscock
Posted by Steve Emecz on
The final four volumes (49-52) of The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories are now on Kickstarter (click here). Every day we will be featuring one of the authors in the collection. Today its Paul Hiscock.
What’s the name of your story in the collection?
My final story for the MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories is called ‘The Sound of the Grand’s Piano’.
How did the story come about?
I like setting stories in places that I have been. In this case, memories of the sumptuous afternoon teas drew me to the Grand Hotel in Eastbourne, just down the coast from Holmes’s retirement home. When I read about Debussy’s stay there, and the piano he bought so that he could work on his latest composition, the idea for a mystery quickly took shape.
Have you contributed to anthologies before?
I have now contributed over fifty short stories to various anthologies, many of which have been Sherlock Holmes adventures, and this story will be my thirteenth contribution to the MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories.
Where can fans find more about your work?
