Champagne Celebration for Art in the Blood

Champagne! Music! Reading! And an appearance by Dr. Sherlock Holmes AND Dr. John Watson.

A true Sherlockian celebration. Free but your RSVP is required.

Come to a party to celebrate the publication by HarperCollins of ART IN THE BLOOD, a new full length Sherlock Holmes adventure written in traditional style by your host, Bonnie MacBird. Set in 1888, when our duo is in their mid thirties, the story features a kidnapping, art theft and murder, as well as a rival French detective. It explores the Janus-faced gift of the artistic temperament, and challenges Holmes' talents and his friendship with Watson to the limits.

Says Les Klinger: ""Bonnie MacBird's ART IN THE BLOOD has the three key ingredients for a delicious pastiche: Meticulous research, plausibility, and grand fun!"

And....“A thoroughly entertaining Sherlock Holmes adventure worthy of Doyle himself. … vivid period detail, a superb, labyrinthine plot, snappy pacing and, most importantly, a deep respect for the classic characters.”
---Bryan Cogman, Producer/Writer, HBO's Game of Thrones.

You will have a chance to purchase a signed copy (or get your already purchased book signed) and there will be music, prizes and surprises.

Your advance RSVP gets you a raffle ticket to win a set of matted prints of the original illustrations in Paget style, or other prizes including a special edition of the book.

Additional raffle tickets will be on sale, proceeds to benefit The Beacon Society which brings Sherlock Holmes to schools.

A Sherlockian celebration not to be missed. Victorian or other Sherlockian themed attire encouraged but definitely not required. The game is afoot!
