Steampunk romance author (and writing friend) Anne Renwick joined me to talk about Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1902 Sherlock Holmes novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles, how it relates to her work in progress, and what we did and didn’t remember about this book. We also touch on Holmes as a character, the occult and folklore elements of the book, and a tangent on indie book marketing in 2026.

Anne’s website has info on where to find her on socials, how to purchase her books (and what order to read them in), and all things hard science steampunk romance.
