Some Sherlock Holmes illustrations by Sydney Paget. Great old time stuff and announcements

I am beginning work on my Sherlock Holmes novel now.

Just completed the Moriarity novel and will publish to Amazon and Smashwords by weekend's end. I hope to have a tradebook copy printed shortly as well and will keep you posted on that.

Will be publishing my first novel in my Journey to the Center of the Earth series this weekend on both Amazon and Smashwords. I hope to have a tradebook copy printed shortly as well and will keep you posted on that.

New article in The Pen's Delight with illustrations

Hey!

I'm still trying to get my main site up and running. I spent hours on the phone with a young woman from India and was told it would work now and still it doesn't.

So frustrating. I'd much rather spend the time relaxing or writing, but....

Anyway, posted a rather long article on state of the world conditions now and compared it to historical events and science fiction ones.

You can read it by clicking HERE.

Best to all.

Working on an art site now. Here's some examples.

A fractal flame design.

Somewhere it would be nice to be.

Grape jello!

A nice swim would be great about now.

Some Sherlock Holmes covers I designed and three cartoon Holmes

 Two different covers I designed for my Baker Street Adventure A Strange Thing on a Strange Day.

Some cartoons

New theme for my blog.

Hope you like my new theme for my blog.

Best.

Next piece of Baker Street Snippets: The Death of Conan is posted tonight!

Just published on Amazon and Smashwords for 99cents the beginning of the next novel of the Journey to the Center of the Earth epic series: The New Team!

The story is available right now on Smashwords and will be sometime tomorrow on Amazon. When it is I'll post a link.

Don't forget and if you don't know, on Smashwords you can read the first twenty percent of all my stories for free.

I'm excited about it because I get to go deeper into the characters as people and into the earth at the same time, pardon the puns here. I've shown more of the destruction that occured during the Big One so that the impact of what happened to our world and what could happen to our world would help us understand the characters better, as well as their personal drives to success.

I've got an honest to God  hippy in the new adventure, as well as a kind of cowgirl and of course the heroes of the last expedition, still struggling to find their way..on many more levels than they realize.

I've got more monsters and more puzzles, but more than anything else I think I've got a new rip roaring adventure to excite you!

Best to all.

Journey to the Center of the Earth continues

I'm inspired by rumors of an entrance to an  underground city beneath Mount Shasta which has been spoken of for decades now.

Since the second team to attempt to reach the center of the earth needed a new theme and background, I decided to take them a different route than Tibet and India. Hence....Mount Shasta.

Look for some very different story angles this time around as I further explore the ramifications of trying to force out way of life on the entire planet, irregardless of the consequences to all life, whether walking, swimming, or flying above, below or within its body.

Here's some Wikipedia images of Mount Shasta.

The above photo is very mysterious, isn't it? Could it be that some kind of energy or light is leaking through the ancient volcano to the outside world?

Could it be some kind of warning from those who dwell below the surface of the Earth?

And if it is a warning, is it friendly or....?

Fun detective

And of course the great Mouse Detective...a reincarnated Sherlock Holmes? Or Goofy in disguise? Your call!

RocketMan is now available on Amazon too!

RocketMan is now officially available on both Amazon and Smashwords for 99cents.

Hours and hours of reading pleasure.

If you've ever seen the old time Republic Serials that ran in the movie houses and television during the forties, fifties and sixties, you're in for a huge treat.

If you just love action-packed thrillers with real heroes and villains you'll love to hiss and boo at, then you've found the right story.

Hitler is set on taking over the world. He is close to achieving it with a cache of secret super weapons that the world is unaware of.

Only one man can stop the Dictator's mad quest for world domination and annihilation of all those who oppose him....ROCKETMAN!

Next part of The Death of Conan has been posted. Enjoy!

The next part of The Death of Conan is posted and you can find it here.

RocketMan is on sale now for 99cents at Amazon late tomorrow and Smashwords right now. Buy one now. It's a high adventure science fiction thriller of what might have happened if the Nazis had won the war and not the Allies.

Have a great weekend!

The first Journey to the Center of the Earth novel is coming soon!

Rocketman Story Promo is posted tonight!

My new adventure series takes place during World War Two and goes back and forth between what our world is like now and what might have happened had the Nazis won the war. It's a fun filled adventure with heart and soul and lots of action.

I'll post when it's finally published on this blog and my personal site as well. I'm still fine tuning it. It's about the length of a novellete for the first story.

Have a great day tomorrow.

New video posted, and more Baker Street Adventures

Here is a video promo for my Journey to the Center of the Earth series.

Get the novel at Amazon. It's available in a beautiful paperback edition and Kindle as well.

First podcast coming this Friday

When I was a kid I found an old, old antiques shop that had several boxes of old Golden Age Story Magazines. While this is not one I personally purchased; it is similar.

Those old wonderful tales stimulated my imagination as a youth and though I only purchased at the ridiculous price of a dollar or two these collectibles, I learned so much and thrilled so much that they could have been worth hundreds or more!

Friday, in honor of that Golden Age of Detective stories, I am adding a podcast about how I came about to write my Baker Street Adventures series of stories. My podcast is an over simplification as it was actually a lifetime of reading, movies and TV that brought me to these stories, not to mention an extremely active imagination with me as the hero at times that brought all the elements together.

But now just click on the podcast to get a spoken version of how it all came together. The story I am referring to in the podcast is The Baker Street Adventures 1: The Death of Conan, which I have just updated and expanded and is now available for 99cents on both Smashwords and Amazon.

Look for the podcast this coming Friday!

Also, if you can tell me which of my Baker Street Adventure Stories has Stonehenge in it, I'll send you a digital version of my next new story in the series. The first five who guess it right will receive the prize. Send your guesses to: realmsword@cox.net.

Have a great day.

John

First part of "The Death of Conan" is posted tonight.

The above story is now posted in Free Stories at this link. I will be posting a new part each week on the Friday of that week.

Enjoy!

Meanwhile, I am searching for the right web host to put up my pro site on. I tried Wix, but it's too slow, so I've canceled that. If you have any ideas, please let me know and I'll send you a free story!

Once I have the right webhost I'm going to post downloadable versions of the stories I post, so you can upload them to your e-readers. Let me know what format you guys prefer and I'll try to post that one as well.

Have a great weekend!

Revised version of Seeker Promo and other news.

A revised version of my video promo for Seeker. As you can see I keep on looking for ways to upgrade my work, make it easier to read, easier to understand. So we'll call this Seeker V1.1 video promo. How's that for a laugh?

Getting ready to shoot down to California in about thirty minutes. 

Hope to put together a view Vlogs for this blog and my children's one as well while I'm down there. Not sure what the look will be yet, but you'll get to see a lot of my face for sure.LOL.

Have a great week and I'll be back for sure next Friday with some surprises I suspect.

John

Last chapter of Cartoon: Shades of Gray, the Portal's Opening is now posted!

Well,

The last chapter is up and we bid farewell to Cartoon and Johnnie, knowing that their adventures only just started. If you like this one, there's a lot more up on Amazon and Smashwords. As a matter of fact I'm posting my Sixth Cartoon story: The Clone Commando this weekend. Maybe tonight if I can get everything done in time.

Hope you got a chance to see my first story promo for "The Seeker." I created it myself. I'm hard at work now on the one for my Journey to the Earth series.

I'm going to California this next week, so I probably won't be doing any more work on videos during that time, but I might post a Vlog. I'm still checking to see if I can get that format decent enough for viewing.

Once I figure out the Vlog format, I'll be posting videos of me every week in addition to my stories to let everyone know what's going on.

Also, if you have any questions to ask, or suggestions to make to me, I'll address those during the Vlog. So while I'm hammering away at making this a more fun experience for you, you can  type or text away to me with what you'd like to ask or suggest.

Have a great weekend and if I don't get back  here sooner, next Friday's when I return and I'll be posting a new story that night.

Best to everyone.

John
