Dear Tim and Holmesians, There are not many National level magazines/ Newspapers who publish short stories of Amateurs nowadays. I remember " Mirror " of the...
Dear Sumal and SHians, Actually I was thinking more on the lines of a novelette, if not a novel. A collaboration of at least 10-11 Holmesians. LOL, we could...
