The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes: Post Index #2

The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes: Post Index #2

VAlley_wilesCipherBack on September 29th of last year, I created a linked index of all The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes posts up to that date, plus a few extras that I’d written here at Black Gate. Well, since this column debuted on March 10, 2014 (yep, a year ago tomorrow!), I figured I’d create an index of all the posts written since that first index.

As the past year has shown, I’m not just about Holmes. I’ve looked at other mystery topics, including my love of hard boiled private eyes. And I’ve touched on fantasy, science fiction, true crime and gaming.

There’s lots more to come (Robert E. Howard’s Steve Harrison is currently in the research stage). Hopefully you’ll keep checking in on Monday mornings. Thanks!

Might perhaps be a good idea to use more categories to make it easier to find related content.
Really wish there was a way to get all Sword & Sorcery articles listed instead of just all “Conan” or all “Pulp”.

They exist, but there isn’t actually any “Sherlock Holmes” tag. There is “Books” and “Movies and TV”, but these are so broad that they are not really helpful to get a list for any specific series of posts or genre.
