1. Tuesday evening (July 7th), 6:00 p.m., I"m at Hein & Company Rare and Used Books, 204 N. Main St., Jackson, California. I'll be discussing and reading from my book (and signing) for a Sherlock Holmes Society in the foothills area called "Holmes Hounds". How cool is that? (Sherlock figures in my book.)
A word about Hein & Company: If you are in the area, you must see their second floor, which is a recreation of Holmes related Baker Street - with hidden passages for mystery performances and the like. It is way cool!
2. Saturday after noon (July 11th), 3:00 p.m., I'm at Swan's Fine Books, 1381 Locust Street, in Walnut Creek - again, reading and signing.
If you are in either area at the right time, do come and enjoy light refreshments and cool books - because both these bookstores are stores you want to walk around in and enjoy their selections.

Sounds like a full week. The Holmes Hounds is neat. I'd never heard of them, but how fun!
Sounds like you have plenty to celebrate this week. Good luck with the signings.
T., I had never heard of them, either. What's amazing to me is that there's a Sherlock Holmes society in the foothills. Apparently members number around 60 and around 40 show up each meeting.
Thanks, Kate. I have to confess I'm a teeny bit nervous meeting around 40 Sherlock fans (who may know a lot more that I do about the canon, etc.) It should be a great learning experience for me!
Congrats and good luck on your upcoming readings/signings. Hein sounds amazing with their Holmes recreation. I'd love to see that. Have a great time!
Thanks, Lexa. The Heins really are amazing. It's nice to see a husband-wife team that love what they are doing. They are so enthusiastic about everything. It's quite contagious.
Didn't know of a Sherlockian society in Jackson but do recall reading a Holmes pastiche when I was in my teens, "A Double Barreled Detective Story", by Mark Twain --set in proximity of some California mining towns. Can't remember if Jackson was among them but must have been close. All my best wishes for an enjoyable presentation and book signing.
Looks like a real busy and fun schedule. Best wishes!
Thanks for stopping by Blogoratti. Fun, yes - and a little hectic! :-)
Thanks, Geo. Actually I think this Sherlockian society was formed in relatively recent years by the Heins, because they are such Sherlock fans. If you get a chance to see their store, you and Norma would like it.
I hope you sell a bazillion books. Have fun!
Thanks, Rosi! It should certainly be interesting, talking to all those Sherlockians Tuesday. Tomorrow we're going to Walnut Creek to meet Laurelle Swan in person. So far we've just corresponded. She's the owner of the bookstore where I have the signing next Saturday.
I wish would be in the area where you're having the book signings, Elizabeth. Would be so nice to meet you in person. Best wishes.
I wish you were, too, Deanie. It's always so nice to meet online friends in person. Thanks for the good wishes.
Congratulations on the book signings, hope they are lots of fun.
Thanks, Suzanne. I do enjoy them. People are so friendly.
Congrats, Elizabeth!!! Happy 4th Weekend!
You've come quite a ways from three or four years ago. Congratulations.
Hi, Richard. I so appreciate that! It HAS been an interesting 3 or 4 years, when I think of it. I'm glad you've been there from the beginning. Your support means a lot.
This is amazing!! Hope your signings went well and congratulations. Good for you for making your dreams a reality. So inspiring!
Thanks, Saumya, I appreciate the good support.
