Sherlock Holmes Meets H.G. Wells, New Solar Pons Now Available on Amazon and Blurb, and a Great Halloween Holmes Anthology from MX Publishing!

Sherlock Holmes: Adventures in the Realms of H.G. Wells Now Available on Kickstarter

Imagine Holmes trying to solve the case of an invisible man attacking London - matching wits with a traveler from out of time - tracking down a human/feline hybrid - using his deductive skills to help fight Martian and lunar invaders! These are just some of the stories included in the new anthology Sherlock Holmes: Adventures in the Realms of H.G. Wells.

For this two volume collection of stories, we asked authors to tie Sherlock Holmes in with characters from at least one H.G. Wells story. Wells, though a writer of the fantastic, always tried to ground his writing in the possibilities of science.  The results are astounding!

Read how Holmes deals with characters and scenarios from:

• The War of the Worlds
• The Island of Dr. Moreau
• The First Men in the Moon
• The Time Machine
• The Invisible Man
• The New Accelerator
• The Man Who Could Work Miracles
• The Country of the Blind
• And many more!!

You can get this anthology in hard cover, paperback, or ebook editions by backing it at Kickstarter.  But you have to act fast, the Kickstarter ends in just a few weeks.  As an added incentive, we have already reached two of our stretch goals, so backers will receive:

1. Two bonus stories  (one in each volume of the anthology)!
2. Your name printed in a special thanks section at the end of each volume. 

That's right! If you back the project, you get to see your name in print!

Plus, we have added Stretch Goal #3!!  For stretch goal #3, if we reach 100+ backers, we will give all backers three additional Sherlock Holmes stories!  That goes for backers at the $1 level to the $100+ level!! 

We need just 40 more backers to reach the third stretch goal.  So, what are you waiting for?  Follow the link to back Sherlock Holmes: Adventure in the Realms of H.G. Wells today!!

“Now, meet Solar Pons, the Pride of Praed Street . . . The Master is not too visible – that is, to the naked eye. But you will feel his dynamic presence once again . . . Yes, dear reader, but turn a page, and again – the game is afoot!” – Ellery Queen 

Have a Happy Halloween with Eliminate the Impossible, Volumes VII and VIII of the MX Books of New Sherlock Holmes Stories

Want a great Sherlock Holmes read for Halloween? Then look no further than Eliminate the Impossible, the latest collection of The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories. This time around the stories focus on Holmes investigating cases that appear to have some element of the supernatural involved.  These are all traditional Sherlock Holmes stories, so they are written in the style of Doyle.  Also, all the money raised from these books will go to the special needs school Stepping Stones and the restoration of Undershaw, Doyle's estate where he wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles.  

Volume VIII of the anthology includes my story, "In the Realm of the Wretched King," which was written with my 7th grade students last year. As part of their 7th grade project, students in my Language Arts class conducted research on the Victorian era. They chose topics such as Victorian technology, Victorian fashion, even Victorian ghosts.  The students then persuaded me on what I had to include in my story. I had to find a way to fit in everything from early automobiles to mystery airships.  How did I do it? well, you'll have to read the story yourself to find out!

All of my students get credited in the special thanks section of Volume VIII.  So consider buying Eliminate the Impossible! Volume VII and Volume VIII of the MX book of New Sherlock Holmes stories today!
