A Sherlock Holmes Teaching Award Nominee, Book Release Party, and Other News

You're probably wondering if you read that title correctly A Sherlock Holmes teaching award? Really? Yes, really. The Beacon Society, a Scion Society of the Baker Street Irregulars, gives this award once a year to individuals or groups for "exemplary educational experiences and other significant activities exposing young people to the Sherlock Holmes stories." I was honored last week to discover a fellow teacher nominated me for this prestigious award.

Book Release Party

I'm flying out to the Boston area today for a book release party. The party is actually in Manchester, NH, not to be confused with Manchester, England, which is a real city. This one should be interesting because it is a combined Halloween costume party and Book release party. You can probably already guess my costume.

Look for pictures of people dressed up and getting their books signed to be posted on the Amazon author page and on Facebook early next week.
