Rereading an earlier draft of Book 1 I just realized that I contradicted myself in Book 2, so how about we use this space to keep track of some basic data on Portia Adams, eh?

Didn’t you say she’s got some relation to Sherlock Holmes?
I don’t want to give too much away, but Portia Adams does indeed live at 221 Baker street.
i’m asking because i’m reading a manga where the main character is the niece of Sherlock Holmes…and has all his brains and love of puzzles. It’s quite interesting.
Ooh a manga? Cool. I haven’t read that one – what is it called?
“Young Miss Holmes”. The author is Kaoru Shintani and it’s available from Seven Seas Entertainment.
I will chase it down – thanks Rami!
you are most certainly welcome.
by the way, i think i should mention that during one of the mysteries in “Young Miss Holmes”, the story crosses over with a manga by another author employed by the same company, “Dance in the Vampire Bund”. Thought you’d like to know in case a vampire suddenly shows up in your graphic novel.
Who writes this stuff? It’s freaking outstanding! I could possibly use a writer on my own web sites if the quality is this excellent. Care to share the name and contact details of the writer? If not, no big deal. I comprehend the necessity to keep your freelancers hidden.
