For those readers wondering why things suddenly became so erratic here, I ought to come forth with an apology, and some personal news. It’s been quite a month or two at the homestead, involving plenty of job-hunting, shuffling across the continent, taking care of young’uns, and –last week– the birth of our new son Daniel, simultaneous with a job offer requiring the packing up of our old life to begin another up north.

As Jenny is not yet fit to do much packing or moving, my spare time is being divided between taking care of our two-year-old Conor, packing up our worldly possessions, and trying to organise the transition. I’ll soon be heading up to Yellowknife to set up our new place (and life), and sending Jenny and the kids a plane ticket when everything is ready.

Needless to say, that doesn’t leave very much time for the blogs for the next few weeks. In fact, all my books except a beat-up Holmes collection and Chris Redmond’s handbook is already packed away and ready to go.

So, I’m terribly sorry for the lack of posts recently –and in the near future– but once I have a connection in Yellowknife, my online life will be getting back to normal. I assure you, I’m very much looking forward to daily Sherlockian postings once more. There’s still a tonne of stuff in queue that needs editing and nice graphics, and I can’t wait to get this site au courant again. In the meantime, if you come across a link or some Holmes-related information you wish to share, please don’t hesitate to use my contact form (see the menu above); I’ll be checking mail often, and these are the sort of things I can post even while on the road.
