Stumbling across the internet
And speaking of stumbling across while googling, Randall Stock, Holmes scholar, has a list of "the best choices for new fans, and a separate section with the best new items produced in 2022." And there I am, wedged right between Nicholas Meyer and Nancy Springer. Good company. Thanks, Randall!

The Textbook for this class
It's amazing what you'll stumble across when googling.
Lifelong Learners: An Independent Collaborative (an outfit out of Boston, apparently) offered a course last year called The Mysterious World of Art Crime, Fictional and Factual.
This is the list of course materials:
Now I nothing about this outfit or whether, like the Ted Baxter Famous Newscasters School, they only attracted one student. And no, I don't know whether the course will be repeated (Although if you want to rise up as a mob and demand it, go HERE .)
But it's nice to be included, one way or another.

Nights in Qurtuba
Coming soon to Kindle Vella,
a new episodic fantasy tale:
Come inside and eavesdrop on stories told in the Court of the Lions in the days of the caliphate. Listen to the cycle of the forgotten King Yildiz: his dethroning and deaths, his resurrections and struggles for the crown, stories full of bloody battles, hidden treasures, magical creatures and mystical talismans not seen since the age of Suleiman. When the muezzin calls the Maghrib prayer, come inside, come inside.November 4, 2022
A hundred years ago
100 years ago today King Tut's tomb was discovered. In celebration here's a nibble from my next Sherlock Holmes tale, The Strange Case of the Pharaoh's Heart
--provided my publisher publishes it:
"I have read since that Carter describes it as having a 'sad but tranquil expression.' True enough, but it’s also a bit unnerving, those large eyes staring up at you from centuries past, the oddly delicate, almost feminine features. I will never be quit of that unyielding golden face, nor the unasked question that seems to hang upon his lips.""

Eliza will be heard
I have had people ask me whether the audio version of The Strange Case of Eliza Doolittle will be available in Audible format. Lo and behold, it is apparently available in that format for pre-order right now, at the low low price of $12.24, which is a savings of over 5 buckaroos.
I don't know how long it will be available at that price, so hie thee to:
Or if you prefer,
The book is narrated by Peter Noble, who does a fantastic job. I really think you'll enjoy it.
