Hello  Is it really that time again?  When I open up this computer and chat to you about some wonderfully Victorian stuff as well as talk your ear off about Sherlock Holmes? Why, IT MUST BE! Firstly thank you to all of you who have bought my book and an especially big thank you to those who have given it lovely reviews.  I was so apprehensive about writing anything to do with Holmes because, even though I love Holmes & Watson, the hard core Sherlockians can be a little bit.. shall we say..stuff?  Yes, let's go with stuffy. And they are also well known for being a little hyper critical when it comes to the detective and his biographer.  Luckily I've found some lovely, fluffy and warm hearted people within the fandom and so I've relaxed into it, slightly. On the RARE chance that you haven't bought my book yet then you can pop over to Amazon, heck, I'll even give you a link.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adventure-Wordy-Companion-Sherlockian-Phraseology/dp/...

Hello Well, things have certainly been super hectic here in Nicko HQ over the past month. Although, in the middle, I did have two weeks of pottering around the Sussex Downs, Dartmoor, Portsmouth and Cornwall. I have NO idea what would have held my interests there ;) My book “The Adventure of the Wordy Companion: An A-Z Guide to Sherlockian Phraseology has had a review, and it’s by none other than award-winning Sherlockian Alistair Duncan! He was super lovely and now I have my first official quote about my book: "To those of a more scholarly persuasion, I feel it can only be an asset to your library." You see that? Scholarly persuasion. That’s grown up talk for people who are smart ‘n’ stuff! Also, the lovely people at Waterstones in Uxbridge did this with my book on their shelf If you want to buy my book, because you’re smart in the head, then you can get it in all the usual places, but let’s go for Waterstone...
