No, really. He was.

A preview from Brimstone
Clever Amazon gives us a chance to link to a preview of our book. Go ahead. Bet you can’t stop reading!
Fabulous review, with a star!
Read it here at Pacific Book Review. We even got a star!
An excerpt: “Allen has created a provocative mystery laced with secrets, scandal, and even bits of humor. With memorable characters and an eye for detail (including a well-placed nod to a familiar magnifying glass), this series debut showcasing a viable alternative to the original Doyle/Sherlock Holmes contention, should appeal to any classic mystery lover, and especially those who can appreciate a smart and savvy woman, ahead of her time.”
Was Sherlock Holmes a Jew?
I’ve added a lengthy essay entitled Was Sherlock Holmes a Jew? You can click on the link just provided, or you can access it through the Louise or Authorship page.
Brief Biography of Louise Conan Doyle
You now have direct and immediate access to a 17 page biography of Louise Conan Doyle. I’ve placed it on the Louise page of this website. You can go there to view it, or you can simply click here.
Brimstone Now Available in Kindle
That was fast. Lynn uploaded Brimstone to Amazon’s Kindle processor just this morning, and already the Kindle version is appearing on Amazon, with a cover, and with the ability to peek inside.
Though the interior layout of the Kindle version is not as beautifully done as the interior layout of the print version, it looks really good. We again thank and congratulate redbat design for her exterior and interior layout and design of our book.
We also thank Dean Williams for his astounding cover art, both for Shadow Woman and Brimstone. He has already completed the cover art for Gambit, which will be Book 2 in the Louise Conan Doyle Mystery Series, and he is now working on the cover art for Ember, which will be Book 3. We hope to have each of those books up by the end of the year.
Dean paints the old fashion way, with a real brush, and a real palette. Yet somehow he can draw individual hairs, translucent lace, and curling smoke. I hope to soon put up a photo gallery of his Dean’s amazing art. For now, I’ll simply show the one painting that first caught my attention and prompted us to contact him.
That’s a painting, not a photograph.
So it’s a great day for us here at the Louise Conan Doyle Cyclopedia. Thank you for dropping by.
