It pleased me to see so many other books being ignored in favour of mine.

Situation Report

Hi all. Well it has been all go go go over the last few days.

A small piece on Undershaw was requested by the Crime Writers Association for, I believe, their internal magazine. This went off last night. I have no idea when it is due for publication though.

As we speak I am still working on slides for the Haslemere Conan Doyle weekend and my article for the SHSL Swiss Pilgrimage journal supplement.

Somehow I fit a day-job in around all this but I'm not entirely sure how.

SHSL Swiss Pilgrimage

Towards the end of this year, the Sherlock Holmes Society of London will be making one of its semi-regular pilgrimages to Switzerland to follow the route as detailed in The Final Problem.

A special supplement to the Sherlock Holmes Journal will be released to commemorate this event and yours truly will be supplying an article.

Some of the first pilgrims in 1968

Full details of the 2012 pilgrimage can be found here.

New design

Sorry I could not help myself. I felt it was time for a slight layout change.
