"...you can imagine my surprise when I received a telegram from Holmes requesting my presence at Baker Street. I rushed there immediately, only to discover a wounded Holmes, who informed me he was being pursued by a gang of thugs bent on avenging the death of their leader. The events that followed proved to be one of the strangest – and most dangerous – cases in my friend's storied career." – Dr. John H. Watson
Celebrated author Richard T. Ryan (The Vatican Cameos, The Other Woman) returns with a suspenseful thriller, placing the great detective Sherlock Holmes on the run from a gang of assassins numbering in the thousands! With Dr. Watson, Inspector Lestrade and even Mrs. Hudson receiving threats in the form of deadly daggers, Holmes desperately searches for allies in a hostile London where danger lurks around every corner!
Read the latest novel by Richard T. Ryan, whose work has been described by NY Times bestselling author LEE CHILD (creator of the Jack Reacher series) as "...extravagantly imagined and beautifully written..." Back the campaign today by CLICKING HERE!

I hope you are enjoying reading Sherlock Holmes: Holiday Whodunnits. The reviews, so far, have been excellent, and there is nothing more helpful to a book's success than positive reviews.
While everyone has their digital copy of Holiday Whodunnits, I'm sad that some of you, particularly those with hardcover editions, haven't received your print editions yet. It seems that both of the printing and distribution companies I use are experiencing significant delays. While some of you do have your paperback copies, it looks like a few print copies of the books won't arrive for another few weeks, possibly not until January.
I've never had printing and shipping delays from the companies I work with. I even checked to see if I could expedite things, but that isn't an option because of the holiday traffic.
I am happy that, at least, you can read the digital version. Please be patient if you haven't received your print edition. It is coming and I hope it will arrive soon. I apologize for the delays.
Backer kit finally figured out what was wrong with some of the backers not getting their reward surveys. The problem has been corrected, and now those of you who hadn't received a survey should have it now. Please complete the survey as soon as possible. You will get the eBook edition once you complete the survey. The print editions will be shipped out this week as well.
I apologize for all the confusion, and I'm glad that Backerkit was able to resolve the problem after doing some digging.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
We also wanted to let you know about our two current Sherlock Holmes crowdfunding campaigns. One is on Kickstarter and the other is on Backerkit. Please consider supporting them.
This all new edition of the journal is divided into two sections. The first part includes poetry, fiction, and scholarship focused on the writings and life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The second part of the journal features all new Sherlock Holmes centered stories, poems, and essays. The Sherlock Holmes stories are traditional and written in the Watsonian voice.
Selections from the Doyle section include an essay arguing that The Lost World is as important to science fiction as Sherlock Holmes is to mysteries; a poem inspired by Doyle's "Lot No. 249"; a sequel to Doyle's story "The Usher of Lea House School"; and an article exploring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's contributions to... cosplay!
Selections from the Sherlock Holmes section include an all new adventure teaming the great detective and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; a mystery involving a body which seems to have disappeared into thin air; a story involving a partnership between Mary Morstan and Irene Adler; an article on all the references to magic in the Sherlock Holmes Canon as well as in the Granada series; poems about the great detective; a sea shanty on The Gloria Scott; and an essay on the real locations from The Valley of Fear.
This year's Steel True, Blade Straight journal comes with a SPECIAL BONUS REWARD! The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle is a delightful adaptation of the Conan Doyle classic by none other than Bill Dorn, BSI. Expertly illustrated by Andrew Putz, this all-ages edition contains both the updated text as well as the original adventure.

No Holidays for Sherlock Holmes - From the creative team that brought you the Sherlock Holmes: A Year of Mystery series comes an all new anthology featuring Sherlock Holmes stories that connect to holidays throughout the year.
Sherlock Holmes: A Three Pipe Christmas - Here we bring together for the first time "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle," which is the only Canonical Christmas story, and the Starrett and Derleth pastiches first issued as Christmas presents. When considered together, the complex interrelations among these works - and their authors - make for a fascinating Sherlockian triptych. Five delightful illustrations and three perceptive commentaries accompany each story, all specially produced for this book. SHERLOCK HOLMES: A THREE-PIPE CHRISTMAS is a wonderful present that will bring you a bit of Christmas whenever you pick it up.
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes for Christmas - Sherlock Holmes: Crimes for Christmas is a collection of new Sherlock Holmes stories to be read over the holiday season (i.e. from December 1st to December 26th). Each story is divided into two sections. The first day provides the case to the reader. The second day provides the ending. You get to think like Sherlock Holmes and see if you can solve the case before reading the thrilling conclusion.
Sherlock Holmes: Holiday Whodunnits - Like Sherlock Holmes Crimes for Christmas: this book is an advent calendar of mysteries intended to be read during the holiday season.
Beyond the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - a special three volume collection of sequels to the original stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Each original tale is paired with an all-new adventure, spinning our hero off into plots and directions that Sir Arthur may never have considered. New facts are uncovered. Some characters aren't as dead as one might have assumed! Intriguingly, many stories have multiple sequels! How did your favorite adventure end? Depends on who you ask. Holmes, to his credit, rises to the challenge every time!
Sherlock Holmes: Further Adventures in the Realms of H.G. Wells - The World's Greatest Detective Returns to the Realms of the Master of Science Fiction in all NEW Adventures! Imagine Holmes trying to stop a diabolical doctor creating human animal hybrids - attacking a cult that worships man eating plants - taking on a mermaid client - using his deductive skills to track down missing time travelers. These are just some of the stories included in the new all new anthology Sherlock Holmes: Further Adventures in the Realms of H.G. Wells.

Hi
I'm another person who hasn't received mail about the pdfs, nor the pdfs.
I can't access the pledge page as it says my e-mail doesn't exist. I'm going to assume that this is because I'm a digital backer, and didn't get a survey. This also means I can't access any fulfillment page that might be set up, though.
Can you send me the files/a link to the files? Many thanks.
I'm happy to report that all orders have been filled for Sherlock Holmes: Holiday Whodunnits! You should have received your digital rewards and some of you may have already received your print editions of your books. Based on the shipping estimations, all print editions should arrive by December 1st, the first day of the advent.
There were a few countries such as Finland and Australia where the print copy of your book might arrive late (i.e December 2nd or 3rd). If that happens, remember, you can always read the first few stories on the eBook while waiting for your copy to arrive.
Since this campaign was such a HUGE success, we are participating in the Backerkit Christmas Marketplace. The marketplace campaign runs from November 18th until December 1st. You can get any of our FOUR Sherlock Holmes Christmas books (two weren't available in the Holiday Whodunnits campaign). You also get a FREE eBook just for following the campaign before it launches.
