You're most welcome! I hope you have a great one.

Oh wow, glad your parents (and their animals) are OK!

Totally unrelated, but I thought of you when I saw a promo on PBS for the next Miss Marple, costarring Benedict Cumberbatch! :D

[eldritchhobbit]

Thanks so much! Me, too.

Aw! Now that makes me smile. :)

Really glad your parents are okay, as well as their land and animals. I hope that other fire doesn't touch them.

[eldritchhobbit]

Thanks so much, my friend! Me, too. I do hope the weather conditions change for them out there. It looks like the firefighters are getting the upper hand on this new fire, but it's already destroyed 33 homes. The weather conditions out there are so conducive to fires right now. Here's hoping it changes this weekend! There's possible rain the forecast.

So glad your parents are okay -- hope the fires die quickly. ::hugs::

Ooooh, there are a few books I need to acquire -- thank you for the brief synposes!

And thank you for the shout-out! (And "The Book of Tobit" will be available in the next few days, in Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine 6. I'll let you know when it's available.)

[eldritchhobbit]

Thank you so much! ::hugs you back::

I'm so glad the mini-reviews are useful!

This is fantastic news about your next story. Thanks for updating us when Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine 6 is available. It shall be mine! :)

I actually happened to meet Lyndsay Faye at a NYC Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes meeting recently. I had no idea who she was. People were fawning over her--she was definitely the center of attention. Later I was told who she was and how great the book was.

So I'm glad to hear you liked it. Sometimes it's hard to gauge the accuracy of raves when the ravers know the ravee (?) personally. I am re-reading HotB right now in preparation for Series Two, but perhaps after that I'll give it a try. (Just recently finished reading the canon, too!)

[eldritchhobbit]

How interesting! I didn't know much about Faye's book going into it, but it really did impress me a great deal, between the character development (great Holmes-Watson interaction, great Lestrade, non-annoying OCs), historical detail, and mystery. I see she's the latest interviewee on the Baker Street Babes podcast, too; I'll have to check that out. I did just buy the collection Sherlock Holmes in America, seeing that she had a short story in it.

If you read it, I'd be very interested to know what you think!

I can't wait for Series Two! :)

[eveningblue]

Me either! The wait already feels interminable, and I hear it won't be on till December at the earliest.

Do you mind if I friend you on Goodreads? My real-life name is Gail, just so you know.

[eldritchhobbit]

I know! Thank heavens for DVDs, books, and fan fiction in the meantime.

Please do! :)
