Sherlock Holmes Society of London Reviews - Anomalous: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Every Holmes author waits for the most important review - The Sherlock Holmes Society of London. Here are their thoughts on Samuel Williams - Anomalous.
""Very few writers have tried to imagine what sort of things Holmes got up to, and what sort of people he met during his years living as the disaffected Irish-American, Altamont. He began his ‘pilgrimage’ in Chicago, so it’s natural that he would run into Diamond Jim Colosimo’s criminal organisation and encounter one of its youngest members, Al Capone.

Our first Kickstarter project for Undershaw gains momentum
It's day 4 on the first Kickstarter project for the Save Undershaw campaign - we started with a modest project to translate the book 'Sherlock's Home: The Empty House' which raises awareness and funds, into 5 languages.
The first objective of the campaign was to get the interest of translators and we already have nine that have stepped forward which is great.
We're just over 10% into the funding with two of the ten corporate advert slots pledged - brilliant advertising opportunity when you think about it. For £100 the company concerned will get their details in front of thousands of Holmes fans. Bargain.
You can support the project from as little as £1 and higher pledges get rewards such as copies of the books.
