One Day Left on the Nessie’s Nemesis Kickstarter!

One Day Left on the Nessie’s Nemesis Kickstarter!

 

There is one day left on the Nessie’s Nemesis Kickstarter, so if you’re interested, please support the campaign!  This has been an amazing show of support, and I hope that my backers enjoy the book!  I wrote it for readers who wanted fun mysteries with the kind of characters you would like spending time with in real life, and I filled it with Easter eggs for Sherlock Holmes and other mystery fans.  Ideally, readers will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

The Inspiration for Nessie’s Nemesis!

The Inspiration for Nessie’s Nemesis!

 

There are two weeks left on the Nessie’s Nemesis Kickstarter, so if you’re interested, please take a look!

 

If you’re wondering why the sequel to Sherlock’s Secretary is set at Loch Ness, it’s because, as with the first novel, I wanted the plot to be inspired by true events connected to Sherlock Holmes.  The previous book was drawn from the real-life bank at 221B Baker Street and the BBC’s Great Erasure.  Nessie’s Nemesis refers to the making of Billy Wilder’s The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, which involved a gigantic Loch Ness Monster prop.  I teased this plotline in the final chapter of Sherlock’s Secretary.  I knew I wanted the closing to foreshadow the next book, but I couldn’t find anything suitable… until I watched this YouTube video from Yesterworld Entertainment

The Nessie’s Nemesis Kickstarter is Off to a Great Start!

The Nessie’s Nemesis Kickstarter is Off to a Great Start!

 

The Nessie’s Nemesis Kickstarter has been running for a week now, and so far the results have been great!  We’ve nearly doubled the initial goal, and there’s just over three weeks to go!  Thanks so much to everybody who’s signed up so far!




 

Once again, here’s the synopsis for Nessie’s Nemesis:

 

What do an Internet scam, a conference for mystery writers, and "The Great Sausage Scandal" have in common?  They're all connected to the latest adventure of Addy Zhuang– an employee of the real-life bank at 221B Baker Street tasked with answering all of the mail that mystery fans send to Sherlock Holmes.  In the sequel to Sherlock's Secretary, Addy, his true-crime reporter girlfriend Zabel, and his friends Sanna and Jasper travel to Scotland in order to solve a missing persons case connected to a prop from the classic movie The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes.  Pretty soon, Addy and his colleagues are embroiled in a murder mystery, and the main suspect is a nobleman obsessed with one goal: hunting the Loch Ness Monster!
