The Game Is Afoot!
Posted March 12th, 2006 at 02:01pm
A personal invite goes out to you all for a special sneak preview of my new blog, A Study in Sherlock, set to launch tomorrow. This site is devoted to the life, times and influence of the Great Detective himself, perhaps the most famous fictional character in history.
There’s a tonne of material already in the queue, and so it’s my intention that there will be something new every weekday, and occasionally on weekends. That includes original pieces (many of which are written for newcomers to the Canon), photographs, teasers for the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, illustrations, news stories, book reviews, audio snippets, “workshop” projects (such as do-it-yourself reference cards or CDs), radio plays, and featured sites. Most of these entries are selected to offer something for neophytes, but –hopefully– also provide ample occasion for discourse amongst the more experienced.
I appreciate any and all feedback from you fine folks — a contact form can be accessed from the top menu, and the comment forms are ready to go, so please don’t be shy. I hope you enjoy!

Excuse me whilst I go ’squee’ in the corner

Have you heard of the Japanese cartoon, “Conan”?
if ya haven’t check this out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ffohma8qMVM
About an adult detective that somehow gets turned into a kid, but continues to solve crimes, under his new moniker “Conan”
lots of fun…
Jeremy Brett is still better though…

Congratulations on starting A Study in Sherlock!
Sherlock continues to live in the hearts of mystery lovers around the world. Laurie Kings Mary Russell novels recounting what happens when the famed sleuth marries his very young apprentice, a woman of formal learning and sufficient intelligence to keep pace with her eccentric husband.
For me, Jeremy Brett was the quintessential Sherlock.
