Burton and Swinburne return for a series of new adventures exclusive to Kindle. Mark Hodder introduced his steampunk heroes in the Philip K. Dick Award-winning novel THE STRANGE AFFAIR OF SPRING HEELED JACK. Through that and five subsequent novels, Sir Richard Francis Burton and his erratic assistant, the poet Algernon Swinburne, battled to repair the mechanisms of time. In this new series of short stories, they have settled into their new lives in an alternate 1862 and are now tackling a new threat to the British a nefarious organisation known as the Black Pentagram. Straightforward crime fighting? Not when the opponents are practitioners of black magic! In THE MYSTERY OF THE EMPTY BAY (9,000 words), the first sorcerer is identified and hunted but seems to vanish into thin air ... or perhaps into deep water! Look out for the second story in the THE DISASTER AT DALE DYKE.

British writer living in Valencia, Spain. Becoming the father of twins really slowed my writing down for three years. However, I'm happy to report that it's now returning to its former pace ... high time I got something new into the bookshops. I'm currently working on the final edit of a new SF novel which is the first in what I hope will be a massive new series. To find out more about it, read a pre-release version, access loads of extra material—including deleted scenes and writing tips & tricks—and to involve yourself in my creative process, please head over to my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/MarkHodder
