"All we need is a pumpkin, a wand, and six white mice." Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest detective, has taken on such opponents as Dracula, Dr. Fu Manchu, and Jack the Ripper. Now Holmes is presented with a puzzle that even he admits "This is outside my realm. Dealing with demon hounds on the moors was one thing, but to take on a fairy godmother? No!" Holmes and Watson seek the answer to the question of who is the mysterious masked woman who charmed a prince with her beauty, wit, and intelligence. It's a puzzle the duo have never faced before as they seek to unlock the secrets behind one of England's wealthiest families. The story of Cinderella, a young woman who rises above adversity to find happiness, is one of the most beloved in world literature. She appears in stories as old as ancient Egypt and the Incas, as far flung as Africa to Russia, as Mexico to China. Now with Holmes and Watson there is a new spin on an old tale. All your elements are here: the Prince, the Stepmother, the masked ball, but things do not turn out as they have in the past because this is a modern Cinderella.

Thomas Owen lives with an elderly strange cat, Buster who is happy and healthy - i.e. he sleeps 18 hours a day, but the vets warn of expensive things that could go wrong at any time so medically he's living a knife's edge. Buster played a part in the writing of LITTLE BIT, but he is not a shape changing alien cast adrift on Earth - that's Little Bit's problem. Buster cheeps, croaks, and burps, but he does not sing like Little Bit. Buster knows how to eat. Boy, does he know how to eat. Little Bit takes awhile to get the hang of cat food and milk bowls. Finally, there are not black helicopters and soldiers searching for Buster to do unpleasant things to him - that's Little Bit's problem. The sales of LITTLE BIT will help pay for the care and feeding of Buster and keep him off the street (where he would only last ten minutes). Thomas Owen is the author of SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE ADVENTURE OF THE MODERN CINDERELLA and co-author of EVERY NIGHT OUR DEVILS COME.
