Beyond Watson, an Upcoming Anthology of New Sherlock Holmes Stories Featuring David Marcum, Jack McDevitt, Daniel D. Victor, and Some of the Best Sherlock Holmes Writers Today!!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to take this opportunity to announce an upcoming book which I am editing and producing next year. The book is called Beyond Watson, and it is a collection of new traditional Sherlock Holmes stories told from the perspective of someone besides Dr. Watson. With the authors involved in this project, I'm sure it will be the best Holmes book of 2016. It features:

David Marcum - The man behind the World's Largest Collection of New Sherlock Holmes Stories. ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...)

Jack McDevitt - The Nebula Award winning science fiction writer will have his first traditional Sherlock Holmes pastiche.

Daniel D. Victor - The best selling Sherlock Holmes author plans to have the return of one of the characters from his previous books, but I'm not giving away which one.

Marcia Wilson - The talented writer who has made Inspector Lestrade almost as endearing as Sherlock Holmes will have a story in the anthology.

Luke Kuhns - Known for traditional pastiches and also graphic novels, Luke's story may bring back a character from the original canon.

Geri Schear - The extremely talented Irish writer who wrote one of the bestselling Holmes books last year will add one of her wonderful, character driven stories to the anthology.

Tim Symonds - The author known for blending Holmes and history will add a tale to the collection.

Kieran Lyne - The youngest author ever endorsed by the Doyle estate will have a new story in the collection, his first Sherlock Holmes short story.

Elizabeth Varadan - The author who wrote an excellent Sherlock Holmes YA book last year will also write her first Holmes short story.

Don Smith - The blogger who runs The Sherlock Conversations agreed to add his pastiche voice to the collection. If you haven't checked out his blog, you should either on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sherlockconv... or on the web: https://sherlockconversations.wordpre....

Derrick Belanger - Then there's me. I will be the editor of the anthology and will have my own unique story added to the mix.

This will be the first anthology published by my new publishing company. I am still working out the company details with the other shareholders, but look for a big announcement when all the details are finalized.

The book will have an Indiegogo campaign in March and then should be in your hands sometime next May. MX Publishing will be the international distributor for the anthology, so no matter where you live, you will be able to get either an ebook or physical copy.

You can follow all the details as the project and publishing company progresses by liking the Belanger Books Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Belan....

That's the news for now. Tomorrow I start back up at my non-Sherlockian job (i.e. a 6th grade middle school teacher), so wish me luck on the start of a great school year. More exciting Sherlockian news soon!!
