A Big Thank You To All of My Backers So Far!

 

I’d like to say “thanks so much” to all of the forty-nine people who have backed Sherlock’s Secretary as of this writing.  It means a lot to me that we’ve nearly doubled the goal on Kickstarter.  There’s just under two weeks to go, so we’ll see what happens in the second half of the fundraising project.  Once again, thank you all so much!

Announcing Murder Most Grotesque!

Announcing Murder Most Grotesque!

 

A few months ago, I announced my upcoming book on the mystery writer Joyce Porter.  I’m happy to say that Level Best Books will release my book Murder Most Grotesque: The Comedic Crime Fiction of Joyce Porter on September 7th!  It’s a study of all twenty of her books, as well as the television and radio adaptations of her work.  If you enjoy humor, twisty mysteries, and outrageous fun, I hope that you give this a look!




The Kindle edition is available for preorder on Amazon, and the paperback edition will be announced soon!

Announcing Sherlock’s Secretary!

Announcing Sherlock’s Secretary!

 

On November 5th, MX Publishing will release my first full-length novel, Sherlock’s Secretary!  Set in the present day, Sherlock’s Secretary is inspired by real-life situation where for many years, 221B Baker Street was the home of a bank which employed a full-time secretary to reply to all of the letters addressed to Mr. Sherlock Holmes. When a bank robbery leads to three letters being stolen, the authorities think it’s all a joke… until a little investigation leads to a murder with ties to the BBC’s “Great Erasure.”

 




If you’re interested in getting a special deal on Sherlock’s Secretary, please check out my Kickstarter page, which offers bonuses, including PDF’s and autographed copies of Sherlock’s Secretary and my earlier non-fiction book Sherlock & Irene: The Secret Truth Behind “A Scandal in Bohemia.”  You can also get ebooks of two additional Sherlock Holmes pastiches (“The Diogenes Club Poltergeist” and “The Adventure of the Villainous Victim”), and two never-before published Funderburke mystery novellas, “I Spit on Your Happiness” and “The Leather Jacket of Doom,” centered around a long-lost father who may be a killer, and clothing potentially poisoned by illegal drugs.

 

More details will follow soon.  Thanks!
