Many thanks to the kind Harrison Terry Hunt for this amazing copy of ACD’s Round the Red Lamp from 1894. Once again #sherlockian friends are the best.

OK— I’ve opened the box to the new computer. Let us see how much time and frustration it takes to get it doing what I want how I want it, and nothing else. Wish me luck….🫠🫠🫠🫠

Picked this up at the library this morning— should be fun….👀👀

At the airport at stupid o’clock early as directed so I can wait an annoying amount of time to board. I’ve brought a suitably grumpy and often annoying (but brilliant, damn it) man to read.

Wow...that sounds amazing! @jeffdkr.bsky.social --have you seen this?

A welcome and thoughtful review of #sherlockholmes into the Fire. sherlockadjacent.substack.com/p/into-the-f...

Yes, it is and it's slowly starting to earn some nice ratings. 👏

Yes! Don't miss out on Max Magee's very good work! 🙂

👀👀👀👀!!

The one volume paperback copy of #sherlockholmes into the Fire (does not include the Doyle text) is now available. Yay! www.amazon.com/Sherlock-Hol...

Hey @jeffdkr.bsky.social -- Did you see this? (If you hear any strange noises, it is me over here, having a mad fit.)

Yes! @lyradora.bsky.social's story is grand. Don't miss out.... 👏

Many thanks to @andrewpeelauthor.bsky.social for sharing, and to Paul Bishop for his thoughtful and welcome review. #sherlockholmes into the Fire #BelangerBooks #arthurconandoyle

"Mr. Holmes, They were the footprints of a gigantic hound."

The Kickstarter orders for #sherlockholmes Into the Fire are starting to ship. Retail links coming soon from Belanger Books. It is exciting to see this book launch. #sherlockholmes #arthurconandoyle #writing #reading

So… guess which book cover was done first and quickly from 1,000 pieces. #ifykyk

Two nice finds on the freebie table at The Sound of the Baskervilles annual John H Watson picnic yesterday.

This is supposed to be an insect of some sort depicted on my new desk pad. But I think it is really a photo of #Cthulhu mad about what’s been written about him in the book he’s reading. #cantunsee #iykyk

Check this out. @221bcooee.bsky.social is doing some stellar work.....

Lovely gift in today’s mail. A million thanks to bookman, artist, and #sherlockian @jeffdkr.bsky.social — a marvelous friend. 💜

Oh, @philbergem.bsky.social -- that is funny. What is it? A stove? Give me word salad any day. I don't have Lego or IKEA brain... 🤔

A treat in today’s mail—🥰

A very well written and interesting look at invented 'history' and the factors contributing to it being endlessly repeated.

*a million sighs* I wish I could go.....

Well, @stevewood.bsky.social, I admire your dedication. I know, beyond any doubt, that I cannot do it.😱 I admire those who can. I have a daughter-in-law who can do it without a pattern to follow. She can look at a pile and give you something beautiful you didn't expect a half hour later. Good luck!

Sometimes the only thing to do is to take a hiatus, as noted tonight at #DotingOnDoyle. It was good enough for #sherlockholmes, so it should work for me, too. margiedeck.blogspot.com/2025/06/hall...

Wonderful, @221bcooee.bsky.social -- thank you so much for this. I'm enjoying your work here immensely. A note: the cat's failing is, I believe, 'jealousy'. 🤨

Absolutely brilliant @221bcooee.bsky.social-- I look forward to the next installment.

Finally! I have the print copies of #sherlockholmes into the Fire for the last proofread. This project is 99% finished after 16 months of work. Excited! Almost there!

Fun delivery today. I've been looking forward to this one. All in the name of research. 😗 #reading #writing #Gothic

Think I'll go bake a big batch of 'Writing Procrastination.' Now to decide if it is chocolate & pecans or banana & walnut. Whatever it is will be better than whatever it is book pages 33-37 are at the moment. #writing (not really) #baking (shouldn't be) #angst-y (always)

A brief musing about #SherlockHolmes, seclusion and solitude at #DotingOnDoyle tonight-- margiedeck.blogspot.com/2025/06/secl...

Two books I’ve been waiting for turned up this week. Reference + Craft + Entertainment rolled together. 👏

This is going to be fun! They've not disappointed yet.👍

Its not everyday I can say this #SherlockHolmes story is inspired (in an odd way) by the decades old feud between Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck, coupled with the history of famous botanist John Hutton Balfour. Gotta take inspiration where one can get it. #writing

I wish I could write a short story when an idea presents. No, no, no...I have to do a month's worth of research first, of which I will probably use 200 words. The research for now indicates I need an obscure text from Princeton Legacy that I have to wait for, of course. #writing #Gothic #Cursing

Aha! TFW you finally know what the book is really going to be about and how it will look. *cracks knuckles* Time to go to work.

As unrelated as they may seem, now that these are well-read I can begin writing a new collection of Victorian Gothic short stories inspired by the England of #sherlockholmes.

Show us your writing process in a GIF.

Thinking about #sherlockholmes, #drwatson, and finding my way back to #221bBakerStreet tonight at #DotingOnDoyle. margiedeck.blogspot.com/2025/05/he-g...

Reading while airport sitting this morning. About 550 pages in. A true master class in the art of short story writing.

Me, too, at @musicclerk.bsky.social, me, too. I feel so honored to have a fiction piece in this issue. Congrats to you! And many thanks to @sherlockholmesmag.co.uk. 💜

Book #5 came to life today. Despite all the craziness in the world, there is still joy to be found in little things like 12 pages of a new manuscript. This FDS lovely piece of art is the inspiration for this book. On we go....

I like these people so much! 👏👏#sherlockholmes friends are the best.

Thinking about #SherlockHolmes, #DrWatson, and the chance to begin again at #DotingOnDoyle this morning. margiedeck.blogspot.com/2025/04/in-t...

"WTFNO!" is right @bookishnea.bsky.social -- This makes me want to bang my head on the desk. 🫢

You might also enjoy that story on page 48. 😉

My publisher has a lovely new web site. Very nice. belangerbooks.com
