A Story of Mine is Being Published!

[rusty_armour]

A Sherlock Holmes story that I wrote is being published in the following anthology:





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. Oh, and if you scroll far enough down the page, you can see my name and the title of my story.

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*

YAYS! Go you, and then some more.

I look forward to seeing your words in actual print! I say again - YAYS!

[rusty_armour]

Ah, thank you, grondfic! That's very kind of you to say! :-D

I hope the story doesn't disappoint, especially after all of this build up. *g*

Many congratulations! That's such exciting news - no wonder you're so thrilled ^____^ I've just gone to have a look at the trailer - it's such a clever idea to have anthologies based around famous fictional and non-fictional clients.

Oh, and harking back to a previous post - congratulations on the new career! ^_____^

Thank you so much, scfrankles! :-D Yes, I have to admit that I am thrilled. I was very excited to learn that my story had been accepted.

I've just gone to have a look at the trailer - it's such a clever idea to have anthologies based around famous fictional and non-fictional clients.

I have to confess that I've watched that trailer more than once. I'm glad you had a chance to watch it, especially if it did give you a clear picture of what this project is about. I'm obviously a bit biased, but I also think that it's a really clever idea to have Holmes dealing with famous fictional and non-fictional clients. It's been done in pastiches before, but I don't think I've come across an anthology before where all of the stories deal with this subject.

Oh, and harking back to a previous post - congratulations on the new career! ^_____^

Thanks again! :-) It's been challenging and has certainly had its ups and downs, but things have been working out so far. I'm lucky to be working during the pandemic when so many people can't.

That’s great. :) Sorry about the late reply. I’ve been really busy lately. There will probably be an update later.

[rusty_armour]

Thanks, crimsoncorundum. :-D No worries about the late reply. It was kind of you to comment. And I know how busy you must be. I'll look forward to reading your update if you post one. :-)

Great news!!!
