A nice start to the New Year! An Illinois judge has finally ruled on the issue of Sherlock Holmes in public domain, and it looks like Ill be able to put the 4 Holmes stories that Ive written up on my website in The Further Adventures Of... Since none of them deals with character developments particular to the stories in the last 1923 Holmes collection (i.e. Holmes retirement and The Second Mrs. Watson)(in fact, three of them deal pretty specifically with The First Mrs. Watson), they seem to be clearly under the public domain area of the Holmes canon. So, in addition to putting up two tales from my own serieses later this month (Antryg & Joanna: Personal Paradise, and Gil, Ingold, and the gang at the Keep: Whisper,) Ill be offering 4 Holmes stories (as soon as I get the files sorted out): The Dollmaker of Marigold Walk, The Adventure of the Sinister Chinaman, The Adventure of the Lost Boy, and the Chthlu-mythos story, The Adventure of the Antiquarians Niece. (Which turns into a fairly serious Lovecraft-wallow, for those who enjoy such things). All 4 Holmes stories appeared in earlier, small anthologies (credits for these are one of the things I need to sort out). But, Im tickled pink. Ill keep everyone posted. I should have the Antryg/Joanna, and Gil/Ingold stories up within a week or so. Watch This Space!
