Author, Novelist & Creator, Mary Russell – Sherlock Holmes seriesSherlock Holmes the Science Pioneer30 minutes, 13.7mb, recorded 2011-09-06Dr. Moira Gunn talks with author Laurie R King about how Sherlock Holmes stories engaged the 19th century science community.
Author mentions how Telegraph messaging in Sherlock's "day" placed similar demands for clarity on the writer as Twitter does today.
Emory Holmes II wasn't able to make the call for this week's podcast, but very fortunately, another writer friend, Mary Burns serendipitously skyped in from British Columbia with questions directly related to what I expected to be talking with Emory about. So, with her permission, I recorded our conversation for this week's podcast. Emory and I will record a call on another day.
Do to my nervous clumsiness, I didn't get the first part of our conversation recorded. With apologies, we start in the middle. We lost most of what we covered about eBook publishing, we'll pick that up next time, but what we have here covers a few points about using social media for building audience. There's enough here to move the conversation along in this effort to inform and inspire traditional artists and writers wanting to publish in digital media and use social media to find their supportive community. I had sent Mary the links below which I recommend for gaining both an overview of eBook publishing and specific resources for deciding how to enter that activity: http://www.gutenberg.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_S._Hart
