James is joined live in the studio for this episode of Spoken Word, by Narelle M. Harris, author of the new published Queer Werewolf adventure novel, She-Wolf of Baker Street.
In this podcast Narelle and James discuss all manner of 19th century Queer coding in society and literature, Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, Doctor Who, Steven Moffat and all things fae and mysterious.
Audrey Hudson takes the lead in this contemporary, paranormal take on the residents of Baker Street.
After Sherlock Holmes “rescues” Audrey Hudson from a kidnapper, she offers him her upstairs flat in exchange for solving the unsolved murder of her family in Edinburgh. Sherlock’s being forced to theorise without data, however – he doesn’t know his new landlady and her late family are werewolves.
There’s a lot he doesn’t know about his attractive new flatmate, John Watson, too.
Momentum is added to the case as Sherlock’s investigations suggest a much bigger mystery is at play, involving a disturbing case on Dartmoor with a Greek interpreter; Sherlock’s agoraphobic sister, Myca; Audrey’s long-dead love, Ruby Stockton; and the fate of Great Britain’s mystic heart.
Will Holmes be able to unravel the mysteries that have haunted Audrey’s life? And can Audrey protect her new pack, or is she about to lose those she loves once again to unknown enemies?

Audrey Hudson has been a werewolf all her adult life, but after the terrible, unsolved slaughter of her found-family in Edinburgh, she withdraws to London, where a collector of cryptid artefacts kidnaps her.
Luckily, a young detective named Sherlock Holmes rescues Audrey, and although oblivious to the existence of werewolves and ghosts, he’s convinced he can find out who killed her family.
She offers the awkward genius a room in her Baker Street house, if he can find someone to share with. Enter John Watson – and his best friend Nicola ‘Nick’ Murray – whose own cryptid encounters will have a significant bearing on the inhabitants of 221B.
Of course Sherlock’s investigations suggest a much bigger mystery is at play: one involving a disturbing case on Dartmoor with a Greek interpreter; Sherlock’s agoraphobic sister, Myca; Audrey’s long-dead love, Ruby Stockton; and the fate of Great Britain’s mystic heart.
Will Holmes and Watson be able to unravel the mysteries that have haunted Audrey’s life?
