New Sherlock Holmes Story - Released Today!

Dear Fellow Writer,

Today sees the release of a brand new episode in our hugely successful Sherlock Holmes series!
This popular new series continues with another exciting adventure for Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, and Nurse Colleen Heneghan. 

In this thrilled-packed episode, Watson is called upon to investigate the disappearance of a young aristocrat while Holmes trails the nefarious deeds of Moriarty in his bid to overthrow the British Monarchy using a virus procured from Haitian Zombies. 

Watson discovers a sinister plot to infiltrate the English nobility and comes in direct contact with Moriarty's chief henchman, George Chapman, a man-monster with no qualms about killing Watson's true love, Colleen. 

Follow the adventure from 221b Baker Street, through the backstreets of Soho, the glamour of the Cafe Des Artistes nightclub, to the sewers beneath London town, to discover Moriarty's most heinous plot yet!
From the Foreword:

Welcome to this, the third part of the Sherlock Holmes: Zombie Slayer series. 

 We, the authors, believe you’re in for a treat.

In case you’re concerned, this is a stand-alone tale, though it does appear chronologically in Dr. John Watson’s last great unpublished manuscript. It doesn’t matter if you have not read the first two episodes in this series but we hope that this volume may inspire you to ‘catch up’, as the saying goes.

George and I were very happy to edit and present this tale as it does much to put us all inside the mind of the incomparable Watson. We found, in this section, a real man tormented by the secret he must keep from the British public: that Moriarty was, in many ways, succeeding in his plan to bring down the British Monarchy with his Haitian Zombie virus. This episode shows how far Moriarty and his inhuman helpers will go to further their despicable aims. Also how indisputably resourceful and effective the great detective, Sherlock Holmes, can be when called to fight for order and justice.

Again, this episode has been a joyful collaboration between George Hogge and I. Little did either of us expect that these stories would become so popular with the public, and for that, dear reader, we thank you.

You may be interested to know that recently we have been in touch with the Sherlock Holmes estate. We are pleased to report their initial reluctance to speak with us has diminished. Given the success of the series, the curator of the estate has suggested that there might be room for Watson’s last manuscript in the official Sherlock Holmes archive. We realize this is a great honor, and no small validation of our work.

On that positive note, we hope you thoroughly enjoy what follows.

Please feel free to visit our newly created Facebook page, and “like” it, to stay apprised of updates and more information as the series unfolds.

Thank you again.

Yours respectfully,


Rob Parnell & George Hogge

How To Create Writing Success

Image
Here's a cute lie that most people believe: Writing is more than a skill, a pastime or a way of making a living. It is a vocation - like being a nurse or missionary. In order to commit yourself, and impress those that would read your work, you have to want to do it for nothing. Indeed this is how many of us become writers - it's something we feel compelled to do, whether asked to, required to or not! Certainly I've noticed that when you first start dealing with publishers, your enthusiasm, commitment and talent are of primary concern. Any talk of money too early in the process will see you ostracized very quickly. You're supposed to want to write for yourself - for art's sake - first. I guess it's about trust. The people that would help us get our work seen - in other words, published - need to be sure that our motives are sincere. That we write for some purpose other than just to make money. Tosh! I have discussed this aspect of the writer'...

Cash Management for Writers

(Irrelevant picture but at least the copyright is mine!)  I'd be lying if I told you that being a full-time writer is all wine and roses and endless days of blissful creativity - especially at the start. It's rarely that for most. If you look at the lives of the great writers throughout history, they invariably grew familiar with the pain of rejection, the fear of failure, and often the gnawing ache of poverty. These days poverty is a relative term. If you have a computer and an Internet connection, you're by no means poor, no matter how you may feel. Recently I spent some time in Luxor, Egypt. There I met many people who thought regularly going without food for a few days was normal; people who thought you were unimaginably rich if you could afford to catch a plane; people who dreamed of one day owning a mobile phone. These people were by no means peasants, they were town dwellers with jobs and apartments who, despite living without electricity, managed to b...

The Times They Are A'Changin...

It seems the longer time goes on, the more traditional publishers are shutting their doors to new authors.  Writers I speak to are getting their manuscripts back sooner and more frequently with those customary rejections these days, even if they've had publishing deals in the past. Anyhoo, where I live, South Australia has more than its fair share of successful writers - Sean Williams, who writes Star Wars novels, for one.  DM Cornish, whose Monster Blood Tattoo trilogy has a Hollywood option.  My wife, Robyn Opie, is the author of 85 internationally published books.  Janeen Brian is the proud author of 75 picture books, the list goes on. Wannabe professional writers should find this encouraging. Of course a lot more writers find success online these days, being independent and carving a niche as an authorpreneur. My subscribers often complain about how long it takes to gain some traction as an independent author. But don't forget it's never be...
