Starting a new Sherlock Holmes based career at the age of 87 film legend Gerry O'Hara
Posted by Steve Emecz on
" idiosyncratic and entertaining" It's not every day that you sign a major film director as a new author and to be brutally honest I found the experience exciting, humbling and a little intimidating all rolled into one. Gerry O'Hara is best described as a legend of the big screen having several dozen films under his belt but no stranger to TV either with episodes of iconic series like The Avengers under his belt too. A prolific screenwriter Gerry also wrote several books during his career, but never had the time to do anything with them - now that he is...

Posted by Steve Emecz on
"Huge recommendation to all, but particularly Holmes fans, of course. Revels captures Holmes and Watson absolutely perfectly." You can count 5 out of 5 reviews from The Bookbag, one of the toughest book review sites in the world, on one hand if you are publisher and it is a rare book to get this accolade from them. Shadowblood from Tracy Revels, the 2nd book in a series of Sherlock Holmes novels that started with the best-selling Shadowfall gets the magical 5 stars and glowing recommendations - and they urge even traditionalists, who would normally steer clear of a fantasy version...

Posted by Steve Emecz on
"Exciting and full of authentic military detail" That's how the Sherlock Holmes Society of London described Kieran McMullen's first novel 'Watson's Afghan Adventure' published in January and the book has received rave reviews from around the world. McMullen now turns his focus squarely on Holmes in 'Sherlock Holmes and The Irish Rebels'. It is early 1916 and the world is at war. Sherlock Holmes is well into his spy persona as Altamont following the capture of the German spy Von Bork at the opening of the Great War. Watson is called to London by Mycroft Holmes and is asked to...
