A Promo, A Picture, and Other Stuff

[eldritchhobbit]

In case you're interested, here is my five-minute audio promo for my upcoming live video lecture/Q&A session on "Sherlock and Science Fiction." At the time I'm posting this, only nine tickets remain for this event, which will be held online at 3pm GMT on 18 February, 2012. I hope some of you will be able to join me. I already have my "thematic" apparel chosen and ready. *wink*

To get everyone in the mood, StarShipSofa is running a three-part serial (on episodes #220, #221, and #222, the first of which aired this past week) of one of M.J. Trow's Inspector Lestrade stories, "Exit Center Stage." Enjoy the Holmesian love!


I love this new image of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming Hobbit films:



In other news, I'm steeling myself for tomorrow's "The Reichenbach Fall," Sherlock's adaptation of "The Final Problem." Thus my quote for the day:

“Education never ends, Watson. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last.”
- Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Adventure of the Red Circle"

Greetings Professor Sturgis,

I thought your remarks on Andrew Jackson were brilliant. You brought up a lot of information that I hadn't put the time into researching myself, and it was very informative. I was impressed, so I looked up your website, and discovered you are also a fiction writer. This was very inspiring since I'm working on my own novel and was having a hard time getting motivated. Just wanted to stop by and say thanks, you're awesome. Sometimes I need to see and acknowledge that there are people out there who've accomplished things that someday I would like to accomplish as well. It helps me stay on the right track. Thanks again.

Sincerely, Gabrial Holmes.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words, Gabrial!

First of all, I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate your watching it. (By the way, that was based on an article of mine that's now online: "Not the Same Old Hickory: The Contested Legacy of Andrew Jackson." Just FYI.) Second, thanks for your encouraging words about my writing! I really appreciate it. I'm honored if I've been inspirational somehow to you.

Best wishes with all of your pursuits! It sounds like you have a lot of exciting things ahead of you. I hope to see you around the 'Net.

My pleasure! I can't wait either. It's so exciting!
