Most modern detective duos still run on Conan Doyle’s code. Holmes & Watson weren’t just characters — they were a structure. Genius, conscience, and reader proxy. New Sherlock Adjacent piece. open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

Sherlock Holmes didn’t decline because Conan Doyle lost talent — he declined because Holmes became a brand. Some later stories The Solitary Cyclist, The Three Gables, The Mazarin feel publishable only because the name guaranteed it. New Sherlock Adjacent piece 👇 open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

With the holidays behind us, it’s been encouraging to see Footsteps on the Moor hold steady on Audible and perform well on Kindle. Atmosphere, fog, and a Holmesian mystery still seem to find their readers. Onward to the next case.

What is Holmes without his Watson? open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

“Christmas always feels like the right season for Sherlock Holmes — firelight, fog, and long nights full of unanswered questions. That mood shaped my novella Footsteps on the Moor: winter, isolation, and a mystery best faced before dawn.” 🕯️ mybook.to/FootstepsMoor

Sherlock Holmes and the Yuletide Candles - Day 1 1. The Green Flame Mrs. Hudson brings a Christmas candle that burns green. I stare into it and see a snowy lane, a crying child, a broken lamp. Holmes blows it out sharply. “Hallucination,” he says. “Or something worse.”

Starting tomorrow: a 12-day Christmas micro-mystery, The Case of the Yuletide Candles. Short, sharp Holmesian episodes. One candle. One whisper. One midnight. 🕯️🎄

Some thoughts on what makes a good Holmes pastiche do you agree/disagree? open.substack.com/pub/echoesfr...

The World Cup draw is the biggest "could have been an email" event in the world.

December always makes me think of Holmes stories — firesides, fog, and mysteries best solved before the new year begins. If you’re in the mood for something suitably atmospheric, my novella Footsteps on the Moor might fit the season. mybook.to/FootstepsMoor

Watching *and* reading ‘The Solitary Cyclist’ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It strikes me that this has something of the feel of a ghost story – perhaps partly because the Granada adaptation has something of Lawrence Gordon Clark about it.

Actor Eddie Marsan makes brilliant points in relation to ‘posh’ actors being promoted over actors from working-class and more diverse backgrounds. Likewise, it doesn’t help when w/c & diverse screenwriters aren’t having their ‘voices’ heard on screen. news.sky.com/story/posh-b... #ScriptSkyUK

It’s October, and I keep coming back to The Adventure of the Devil’s Foot, Doyle at his most Gothic. Fog, fear, and reason wrestling with the uncanny. Holmes may be a man of logic, but even he knew that darkness sometimes hides in plain sight… 🕯️🕵️‍♂️
