Sherlock Holmes Walk
Apr. 29th, 2024 05:32 pmHello, LJ/Dreamwidth friends! Long time, no post. I think that at least a couple of you will be interested in the photos I took today, so I decided to share them here. ( The game's afoot )
Belanger Books Featured in a Podcast
Dec. 16th, 2023 12:39 pmI just found out that Derrick Belanger (of Belanger Books) was interviewed on Episode 278 of the I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere podcast.
I obviously have some interest in the subject as Belanger Books has been good enough to publish three of my stories, though I've been a fan of the podcast for years. In fact, I can honestly say that I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere is the first podcast I ever listened to. Anyway, I'm looking forward to listening to this particular episode, though I recommend the podcast to anyone who has an interest in Sherlock Holmes.
I just found out that Sherlock Holmes: Stranger than Truth is now available on Audible!
If anyone is interested in listening to some or all of this anthology, you can get a 30-day free trial, which is probably what I'm going to do when I have a bit more time. You can also hear a short audio sample if you would like some idea of what the recording/writing quality is like for this anthology.
As I had a non-Sherlock Holmes story rejected around this time last week, this is a wonderful (and timely) piece of news. :-D
I'm happy to say that The Consultations of Sherlock Holmes has been published. Available sellers can be found through the Goodreads link.
More self-promotion, I'm afraid. For anyone who might want to learn more about the story I've written for The Consultations of Sherlock Holmes, here's my author interview.
There will hopefully be more interesting author interviews to follow in this Kickstarter campaign.
The Kickstarter campaign has just started and will go until May 25th, so consider checking it out if you're a Sherlock Holmes fan. On the Kickstarter page, you can watch a video trailer and learn more about the anthology.
I'm happy to announce that Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson: Medical Mysteries, Volume 1 is now available on Amazon.ca, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. \o/
For anyone who's interested, there is a Volume 2, which you should be able to find through any of the links for Volume 1.
Now I just have to try to wait patiently for my author copy to arrive... :-D
For anyone who might be interested in learning more about the story that I've written for Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson: Medical Mysteries (I know you were curious about the title,

This information is coming later than it should, but Sherlock Holmes: Stranger Than Truth has now been published! If you're curious, you can find a preview on Goodreads (where you can see my story listed in the Table of Contents). Goodreads also provides a list of online stores where the book can be purchased. The book is available in paperback and digital form on Amazon.ca, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. I'm not sure if the book is available on other Amazon sites as well.
A Story of Mine is Being Published!
Mar. 5th, 2021 08:16 pm I first learned about both this anthology (and Sherlock Holmes: Stranger than Fiction) back in September. As Belanger Books was accepting submissions, I thought I'd give it a shot. Although the deadline was December 31st, I kept it a secret in case my story was rejected. Happily, I heard from the editor on February 1st and learned that my story had been accepted. At the moment, Belanger Books is running an AWESOME Kickstarter campaign for both Sherlock Holmes: Stranger than Truth and Sherlock Holmes: Stranger than Fiction. I say "AWESOME" because they have a trailer -- an actual trailer for these books.
This is probably my news of the year, so I'm definitely savouring it more than I should. I'm also hopelessly vain about my writing, so there's that too. *g*
I was thinking that I should do something to mark Sherlock Holmes's 165th birthday, and the Baker Street Babes have helped me in this endeavour. I'm happy to say that Femme Friday: Celebrating the Women in the Sherlock Holmes Canon and Transformative Works is now available in eBook format! Yes, this is a very selfish and self-indulgent post considering that I wrote the Annie Harrison essay, but Sherlock Holmes has his moments of vanity too, and the eBook has been released on his birthday. *g* Both a free sample and the actual eBook are available at Smashwords.
The Enola Holmes Mysteries
Sep. 28th, 2018 05:11 pmI recently read Nancy Springer’s Enola Holmes mysteries and thoroughly enjoyed each of the six books in the series. The books have been around for a number of years, so I’m not sure why I didn’t read them before now. Maybe it was because I felt they were for children or because I was suspicious of this alleged sister of Sherlock Holmes. Maybe it was a combination of both. It was only after listening to the Baker Street Babes’s 221B Con interview with Nancy Springer that I felt this irresistible urge to read the series. Although I still found a Holmes sister a bit suspect (which seems strange since I was able to accept a wife in Laurie R. King’s Mary Russell series), I put a hold on the first two books at my local library. I hadn’t made it very far in the first book before I knew that I would definitely be reading the whole series and would need to reserve the four remaining books. ( Stars and garters! The game is afoot! )
Sherlock Gnomes
Aug. 31st, 2018 03:47 pmI finally got around to seeing Sherlock Gnomes. Cineplex has been screening kids' films as part of its Family Favourites series, so I was able to see Sherlock Gnomes this afternoon for $2.99. I'm, uh, kind of glad I didn't pay more than that. It's not that the film was bad. I just think it could have been better. The animation is excellent, but the story is kind of weak. Worst of all, I just didn't find it that funny. Based on the trailer, I thought it would be, but, mostly, it was just mildly amusing. I wondered if I was just too old to appreciate the humour, but I didn't hear any kids in the theatre laughing -- and kids usually laugh pretty loudly if they appreciate something. Maybe part of the problem is that I haven't seen Gnomeo & Juliet and just wasn't invested in the gnomes who weren't wearing a deerstalker hat or bowler. ( Bitch, bitch. Moan, moan. )
Early Christmas Prezzies!
Dec. 20th, 2017 02:34 pmpyrateanny was kind enough to send me: 
British telephone box that was surprisingly easy to assemble. I've
made it part of my kitchen/living room divider Christmas display,
but I think I'll probably move it beside my TARDIS after the holidays.
( More pics under the cut )
Hudson's Bay Holiday Window Display
Dec. 3rd, 2017 07:36 pmAs my brother wanted to check out the Hudson's Bay holiday window display, and I wanted to go to a talk on Christmas, Dickens and Conan Doyle in the Arthur Conan Doyle Room at the Toronto Reference Library, we decided to combine both activities. ( Pics, etc. under the cut. )
Pop Sherlock Exhibit
Oct. 17th, 2017 10:05 amI was fortunate enough to check out the Pop Sherlock exhibit at the Toronto Reference Library on Friday. And when I say “check out,” I really mean that I pored over every item obsessively. I’m pretty sure the Sherlock Holmes: Classic Themes from 221B Baker Street soundtrack was on its third loop by the time I finally left the exhibit. You’ll understand when you see all the pictures. Those of you who remember my post on the Adventures with Sherlock Holmes: Life and Times of the Master Sleuth exhibit will know what I’m talking about. ( But everything was so bright and shiny! Come! There are Sherlockian goodies afoot! )
