The Complete Julius Katz List

I'm now writing what I call the Early Julius Katz stories--stories that take place before Julius met Lily Rosten in the first story titled appropriately 'Julius Katz'. Each of these new stories will be inspired to a degree to a different Nero Wolfe novel.

For now, here's a complete list of all the published Julius Katz stories and novels.
