Lordy, that would be great to be there. I really enjoyed his West End Horror as well. I have not read the Canary Trainer. We in the Las Cruces area will have a mystery writer of some fame, Michael McGarrity, pushing his new novelized history of early New Mexico at a marvelous bookstore called COAS.
The book is summarized at his site: http://www.michaelmcgarrity.com/hardc...

This was AMAZING! I and my friends spent an evening listening to 5 highly intelligent nerds talk about nothing but Sherlock Holmes for almost 2 hours. Bliss. With free cookies and tea! I got The Annotated Sandman autographed by Klinger, and Meyer's three Sherlock pastiches signed. My best friend asked them about fan fiction. Of course one of them responded "Slash!" and then Meyer talked about how he has this one book that has no women and Holmes has sex with everybody. Another person asked, "Is Watson in it?" and he replied, "Of course!" haha. I even dressed up in costume as was encouraged and met a couple of other Sherlockians who also dressed up (in BBC sherlock duds). They showed me their Sherlock tattoos. Such fandom!
At the Hammer Museum next Tuesday (May 22nd) there will be a free evening reading/book signing with Nicholas Meyer (The Seven Percent Solution, the good Star Trek movies) and Les Klinger.
From the website:
Join a group of Baker Street Irregulars for an irreverent discussion on the contribution of Sherlock Holmes to contemporary culture, from criminology to fiction to film. Holmes scholar Leslie Klinger, writer/director Nicholas Meyer (The Seven-Per-Cent Solution), crime novelist Denise Hamilton, and real-life private detective Sarah Alcorn contribute their expertise to deducing why Conan Doyle’s character has inspired such enduring intrigue and devotion. Costumes welcome. Budding mystery writers especially encouraged.
Complimentary coffee and tea served.
A book signing will follow the reading.
