Novel recap and chapter list with links


Hi.  The continuing Sherlock story I've been writing is one which is a pretty action-packed time, and I realize many of you are kind of coming into the middle of it.  So to recap the novel I've been writing, currently in the middle of their adventure in the woods of South Wales, I'll list the chapters/sections of the story in chronological order.

Some of you will be confused regarding the timeline.  I have a trusted friend who can help clear this up later.  I prefer writing heart-pumping action, humor, car chases, confrontations, arguments, fistfights, personality quirks, close calls, political intrigue, mythology, strangeness, esoterica, horror, hilarity and mildly uncomfortable subjects.  Timelines are boring.

So here is the story so far:

Chapter/section 1: The Mystery of the Talking Head

Sherlock gets called in to two separate cyanide murders which look like M's work at the outset, but then are bizarrely connected to some happy memories in his past.  Sherlock pulls a ghoulish prank on Molly at Barts which is utterly typical of his insane sense of humor.

Chapter/section 2: The Jigs and the Reels

An adventure in London's Irish section of town that results in lovely music, tea with decent Irish folk needing justice, a close call with the criminal classes, a sudden gift of a rally car and an annoyed Lestrade.  Mycroft cuckolds the blathering, boring, buzzword-abusing commander in chief of the IRA with a pen, a yo-yo and some very choice words.

Chapter 3: The Cailleach of Caerdydd

A missing museum artifact leads to an epic car chase with the transit van driving sort, perturbed archaeologists, dinner at Torchwood Ground Zero, night ops and an insane witch war.

Chapter 4: A Coffee in Tydfil  (The Cailleach of Caerdydd Continued)

A short chapter.  Sherlock and John discuss the power in belief, and stake out an archdruid.

Chapter 5: Trees and Bees (The Cailleach of Caerdydd Continued)

It was a beautiful spring day in South Wales, John and Sherlock argue over shaving with Japanese swords, the bees are out in force, and suddenly they're surrounded by meatheads looking for trouble.

Chapter 6: A Scumbag Symphony (The Cailleach of Caerdydd Continued)

A blood-spattered nose-shattering fight scene of awesomeness with Glasgow headbutts and lots of kicking bad guy butt.  Also an ear hat frisbee.
