 More Sherlock Holmes in the 21st Century (Immortal Holmes)Sherlock Holmes -- still alive and with us after all these years -- is on the case again. He’s trying to solve what appear at first to be straightforward robberies and murders. But the game afoot on this occasion is a deadly and a very strange one. There are supernatural elements in the mix … sorcerers, apparitions, and even monsters to be dealt with. From the high towers of New York City to the fog-bound hills of San Francisco, from the floating cities of Hong Kong to the neon lights of Vegas, the world’s greatest detective finds himself being confronted by the biggest challenges of his extended life. And there’s no guarantee that he will win. “I would read an entire novel of modern-day Holmes from Tony Richards” – Flames Rising. “Richards is a master” - RT Book Reviews. “A terrific author. A unique and eloquent voice” - John Pelan. “One of today’s great masters of dark fiction, a hell of a writer” - Horror World. “Man, can this guy write. He has the power to introduce you all over again to the pleasures of reading good prose” - Ed Gorman. “For the sheer pleasure of reading a story by a master of the art, he is hard to beat” - Black Static magazine. “An amazing voice” - James A. Moore. “Tony Richards always turns in a first-class story” - Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes. I have 2 novels from HarperCollins on Kindle and 2 collections from Dark Regions Press. I also have more than a dozen self-published ebooks -- fantasy, SF, mystery, supernatural, and more Sherlock Holmes -- which are all at the sample price of 99c: http://amzn.to/m4ihmeABOUT THE AUTHOR: Tony Richards is the author of 7 novels from Harpercollins, Tor, and Pan Macmillan and has seen more than one hundred short stories in print, most of them in magazines like Isaac Asimov's SF, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery, Postscripts, F&SF, and Weird Tales. He has been shortlisted for both the HWA Bram Stoker and British Fantasy awards. |

Hello again, Tony, and congratulations on your book!  Please note that KindleBoards is a Readers and Kindle Fan forum. Authors are always welcome to post anywhere but, as you browse the 'boards, please keep in mind that self-promotion, of any sort, is ONLY allowed here in the Book Bazaar. A brief recap of our rules follows: (Note that this doesn't mean you've done anything wrong; we just want you to have a ready reference, so post this note in every thread. ) -- Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it and add to it when there is more information, as we ask that authors have only one thread per book. You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice). --We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here--While you may respond to member posts to your thread at any time, you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days. Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then. --We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link. Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead. --Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows. This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles! Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post. For information on more ways to promote here on KindleBoards, be sure to check out this thread: Authors: KindleBoards Tips & FAQ. All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum. Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules. Thanks for being part of KindleBoards! Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions.

Last week, there was a 24-hour launch event on Bitten by Books for ‘Dark Arcanum: Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes.’ Many of the authors who had contributed a story took part, including myself. Here’s the link: http://www.bittenbybooks.com/49346/49346/ |

I might even ask Ed to be my next guest blogger, if he has the time.

I'm just completing a new novel to show to my agent. Should be done by Friday. And, after what is hopefully going to be a restful weekend, and can start preparing new stuff to put on Kindle come Monday morning.

All the covers in the Holmes series are my own work, btw.

The other covers are by Paul Lowe, Paul Mudie, and especially Steve Upham.
