The Song that was Inspired by a Fic Series

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 16:36:27 GMT

I just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to raven714 for gifting me an AI-generated song that was inspired by the Sanctuary Series. raven714 wrote the lyrics herself and then chose other features for the song. Anyway, whether you've read (or choose to read) the Sanctuary Series or not, you should totally check out this song because it's fabulous!

Naturally, I LOVE this song, and I'm both touched and honoured that raven714 took the time to create it for me. :-D

It’s taken me a month to post this, but on Sunday, May 25th, I checked out this year’s Doors Open Toronto with my brother. We were able to cover four locations in total: the Canadian Film Centre, The Toronto Camera Club, St. Peter's Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church of Toronto, and Manor Road United Church.

Edmund - Son of Gloucester

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 13:58:18 GMT

As I know there are at least a couple of theatre buffs on my flist (I'm thinking of you in particular, grondfic), I thought I'd share my Amazon review for Edmund - Son of Gloucester. I should point out, that my review is based on the recently published text of the play as I've never had the opportunity to watch a performance of it (other than a video clip from the playwright that I'll include after my review).

Updated Fic Masterlit

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 22:34:53 GMT

I've been doing a bit of housekeeping and finally updated my Fic Masterlist. Okay, there were just the four stories to add, but that's almost prolific for me, especially as three out of four stories were posted this year. Although I suspect (understandably) that I'm the only person who ever goes to my Fic Masterlist (and, even then, that doesn't happen very often), I thought I'd share the new additions here in case anyone might be interested: ( Fic under the cut. )

Happy Canada Day, Eh?

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 22:44:27 GMT

Happy Canada Day! For once, I actually did something on Canada Day. I returned to my old stomping ground in Scarborough to spend part of the day with my siblings. They had both been talking about wanting to do something, so I suggested we go to Thomson Memorial Park as it was close to them and not too difficult for me to get to from my part of the city. Anyway, I don't think any of us had celebrated Canada Day at Thomson Park since some time in the 80s when it was a family tradition for us to go. ( Click here for photos and the like. )

Belanger Books Featured in a Podcast

Sat, 16 Dec 2023 17:50:07 GMT

I 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.

Sherlock Holmes: Stranger than Truth is Now on Audible!

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 18:01:43 GMT

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
