Hello everyone,

Thank you to those who have backed Sherlock Holmes: Holiday Whodunnits on Backerkit. We need just 27 more backers to reach our STRETCH GOAL! Remember, if we reach our stretch goal, I will add a BONUS Sherlock Holmes story to Holiday Whodunnits. That means the book will have not one but TWO extra Sherlock Holmes stories! Spread the word! Also, if you haven't backed the project yet, please do so now!

I thought it would be fun for us to have a Sherlock Holmes poll for the last week of the campaign. Please complete the poll at the bottom of the update.

The voting is open, and we'll be able to see the results along the way. I look forward to see the different types of Sherlockians who are backing the campaign.
