Not long now

It is a little over a month now before An Entirely New Country is released. I imagine that the first batch of review copies will be heading out soon.

Links to it and my other books can be found here. The links are all Amazon but the books can of course be purchased from other retailers such as Book Depository, Play.Com and Barnes and Noble.

Phew!

I have just submitted my last radio play review. This was for The Old Court Theatre Radio Company production of Sherlock Holmes - A Drama in Four Acts. The decks are now clear.


Next!

Christmas Cards available

Christmas cards are now available from both The Sherlock Holmes Society of London and the Save Undershaw campaign.

Busy busy

I have now submitted reviews for two of the three radio plays on my list. Now I look back I have written an awful lot over the past two years. In addition to my forthcoming book I have written three book reviews, two radio play reviews and an article on Conan Doyle biographies.

Much of this output will appear in December's Sherlock Holmes Journal.

Blink and you will miss it

Sherlockology Interview - Opposition

Well it seems that after a lot of 'likes' and agreements there is finally someone who disagrees with most of what I said. In the interests of even-handedness I provide the link here.

The odd question as well as my answers come in for criticism.

Does this lady have a point? Discuss.

Amazon.com - update

It would appear that Amazon.com have removed the ability to pre-order copies of my latest book via Book Depository.

Making progress

Well I have devoted most of today to reading Christopher Sandford's book on Houdini and Conan Doyle.

I am now firmly in the part of the book that details the deterioration in the friendship between the two men.
Alas I can say no more as my review is destined for the Winter edition of the Sherlock Holmes Journal. All being well the journal will feature this review along with that I wrote for Barefoot on Baker Street. It will also feature a special supplement which will feature an article by me.
