Introducing My Latest Book– Sherlock Poems!

Introducing My Latest Book– Sherlock Poems!

 

Big news!  MX Publishing is publishing another one of my books– Sherlock Poems: The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in Verse!  The scheduled release date is June 30^th!

 

The book’s blurb is as follows:

 

All the Sherlock Holmes mysteries like you’ve never seen them before!

 

A new spin on all four Sherlock Holmes novels, fifty-six short stories, and the apocryphal tales.  Fans of Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes will be familiar with the twist: take a classic story and retell it in rhyme with plenty of humour.  Enjoy the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, reimagined as verse.

 

Here’s the opening to the poem version of A Study in Scarlet:

 

Doctor John Watson is a man

Just returned from Afghanistan.

A small pension, so he won’t beg

And he’s been wounded in the leg.

 

His wallet leaking like a sieve

He needs a nice cheap place to live.

John meets his old buddy Stamford.

“Know an affordable landlord?”

 

Stamford says, “I know someone great–

Though maybe not the best roommate.

He knows rooms out of his price range

He’s Sherlock Holmes– He’s smart, but strange.”

 

Interested in learning more?  Please check out my Kickstarter– it will launch in just over a week, on April 21^st!  You can order Sherlock Poems and all of my earlier MX books as well.  Thanks!
