Belanger Books Turns 10!!! Free eBooks to Celebrate!

 


Happy Birthday to Belanger Books!

It's hard to believe that ten years ago, Brian and I started Belanger Books because we wanted to create a publishing company that only published books that we wanted to read. Ten years and over 160 books later, we are now the largest publisher of new Sherlock Holmes books in North America!!! Below, after a few announcements, are four FREE eBooks with the reasons why we included them. The free eBooks are available as Kindle downloads until Saturday, September 6th. 


First, a few crowdfunding announcements...

Sherlock Holmes: The Early Cases Volume One



TWO NEW NOVELLAS FROM S.F. BENNETT!!

THE HORROR OF THE HOXTON HIPPODROME

Detective became legend... there was Sherlock Holmes, a recent college graduate forced to seek charity from his disapproving brother while struggling to build his career as a consulting detective.  When a former classmate comes to Holmes with tales of a series of lethal "accidents" at a local music hall, young Sherlock must take to the stage in order to uncover the sinister secrets hidden at the Hoxton Hippodrome.  Was Presto the Prestidigitator really pressed by a python?  Did Vernovsky the escape artist drown by accident, or was the barrel locked on purpose?  And did the knife juggler really cut his own jugular?  Sherlock Holmes must determine the truth while dodging his debtors and developing his distinctive detective skills.  The show must go on!

HOLMES AND WATSON: MURDER WILL OUT

A Civil War cannon.  A lit fuse.  A lethal explosion.  Inspector Athelney Jones names Sherlock Holmes as a person of interest in this suspicious death.  As the few remaining members of a tontine die off one-by-one, our heroes must race against time to save one of the last names on the list –– Mycroft Holmes!

Sherlock Holmes: Holiday Whodunnits



An advent calendar of all new Sherlock Holmes mysteries! The stories are designed to be read over the holiday season (i.e. from December 1st to December 26th). Each story is divided into two sections. The first day provides the case to the reader. The second day provides the ending. You get to think like Sherlock Holmes and see if you can solve the case before reading the thrilling conclusion.

Launching in one week on September 9th! Follow the campaign and be the first to back it by CLICKING HERE!


New Kickstarter Campaigns from MX Publishing


We wanted to give a shout out to our friends at MX Publishing who have TWO new Sherlock Holmes campaigns they just launched. While Belanger Books is the biggest Sherlock Holmes publisher in North America, MX is the biggest Holmes publisher in the world. Check out their latest campaigns.
 
The Gravesend Gryphon and other Sherlock Holmes Stories - In 'The Gravesend Gryphon and other Sherlock Holmes stories', the great detective encounters a wounded old soldier, Baroness Orczy's old man in the corner, H. G. Wells's Sea lady, and a household with a troublesome family member. 

Further Studies In Statecraft: The Memoirs of Mycroft Holmes - Read in Further Studies in Statecraft how Mycroft turns the Ripper and the Dreyfus affairs to Great Britain's advantage, extends the political career of Winston Churchill, deals with Hitler's girlfriends and his only Jewish Field-Marshal, and bests American President, Ronald Crump, in a trade negotiation.


Four FREE eBooks


Beyond the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Volume I


Beyond the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was one of the first anthologies that Brian and I edited together. It is a three volume collection of sequels to the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. These are traditional Sherlock Holmes adventures, and this anthology gives readers a good idea of the type of book Brian and I wanted to publish when we started Belanger Books.


 The Novels of Solar Pons: Terror Over London and Mr. Fairlie's Final Journey



One of the achievements that Brian and I are most proud of is bringing the original Solar Pons back into print and, for the first time ever, as eBooks. Much of the credit goes to author David Marcum who restored the original books after writing his own Solar Pons collection, The Papers of Solar Pons. The Novels of Solar Pons is collection of the two Solar pons novels contains Terror Over London, the Pons adventure which contains the two characters from which came our Praed Street Irregulars (PSI) investiture names. A huge thank you to Dr. George Vanderburgh for investing us into the PSI. 


Curse of the Deadly Dinosaur (The MacDougall Twins with Sherlock Holmes)


The first book series Brian and I created was The MacDougall Twins with Sherlock Holmes. We wanted to create an illustrated series to introduce young readers to the Sherlock Holmes character. The first two adventures were published by MX Publishing. Deadly Dinosaur was our final (at least for now) book in the series, but it is also a great starting point. 

Sherlock Holmes and the Occult Detectives vol. 4 



Our last eBook from this update is the fourth book in our Sherlock Holms and the Occult detectives series, edited by John Linwood Grant. John is perhaps the best editor of occult horror anthologies around today as shown by his work with Occult Detective Quarterly. While we emphasize the Doylean Holmes and Watson in Belanger Books publications, we also enjoy anthologies that take the traditional Holmes and Watson and put them in different realms whether it be horror, science-fiction, or worlds where Holmes teams up with other great detectives. Sherlock Holmes and the Occult Detectives Vol. 4 is both a horror anthology and one where Holmes teams up with other great detectives. It's a lot of fun!

We'll be back with more blog posts throughout the year with free book giveaways in honor of our ten year anniversary.

Look for more updates soon!
