I stopped in my library to take a photo of my "The Further Adventures of #SherlockHolmes: The Debutante Detective." It was checked out! One nice thing about being traditionally published is the library bought the copy. I didnt have to donate it! #writingcommunity #writinglife

Braved the nor'easter this weekend in Delaware to speak on a writer's panel about organizing your writing life. Because of the heavy rain, attendance was slim, outnumbering us 6-5! Still, always good to get out to meet people and I did sell 2 copies! #writinglife #writingcommunity

Traveling in PA I stopped in the Barnes & Noble in Devon. Turns out my book is not under R, for my last name. It's under D, next to Doyle's original #SherlockHolmes books. The worker said they put all the homages and pastiches there because that's where Holmes fans look. Who knew? #titanbooks

"I don't like Sherlock Holmes." Who knew? I had a good book-signing event yesterday in Milford, Delaware. But I also had five people look me dead in the eye and tell me, "I don't like Sherlock Holmes." I was amazed. I thought everyone loved Holmes. #sherlockholmes #titanbooks

Odd quirk to Amazon. I got a nice review of my book on the UK site. But it doesn't show up on the U.S. site. However, the UK site does show reviews from other countries... Wonder how that affects Amazon's mysterious algorithms? #titanbooks #sherlockholmes #writingcommunity
