Just got back from an extremely inspiring holiday in Whitby! This place really has it all, the sea, the cliffs, the winding cobbled streets, the abbey ruins, the precious jet mines, dinosaur fossils, historic ships and of course it's own famous literary appearance in Dracula! Really enjoyed @whitbymuseum @clarencethecrocodile @humblepienmash and Dr Crank's ghost walk along the way! Can't wait to get writing this weekend 📚 . . . . . #whitby #whitbyabbey #whitbyjet #whitbymuseum #ghostwalk #hauntedplaces #gothic #dracula #bramstoker #writer #writing #writerly #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writerslife #writerlife #author #authorlife #inspiration #inspirational #writinginspo #writinginspiration #travel #journey #travelling #travelphotography #photography #travelphoto #photo #photooftheday (at Whitby) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcYMCNLMBF2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another rather inspiring resource for Sherlock Holmes readers and writers! I picked up this copy in Meiringen, Switzerland, when I went to visit the Reichenbach Falls 🕵️ Absolutely stunning exhibition there at @sherlockholmesmeiringen museum there with the best life size 221B living room outside of London 💕 . . . . . #writer #writing #writes #writers #writerly #writings #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writerscorner #writerscommunity #writerslife #writerlife #author #inspiration #sherlock #sherlockholmes #holmes #johnwatson #221bbakerstreet #crimefiction #mystery #mysterythriller #travel #travelling #meiringen #reichenbachfall #reichenbach #reichenbachfalls #thefinalproblem #arthurconandoyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CaFL4aCsBM7/?utm_medium=tumblr

At the rate at which it's going, I doubt there will ever really be a complete film and TV history of Sherlock Holmes, but this book is an absolute wealth of knowledge on the most portrayed human literary character of all time. I wrote my BA dissertation on Sherlock Holmes on the Screen, so I couldn't have done without this, but years later it's still an inspiration to me when I write 🕵️ . . . . . #sherlockholmes #sherlockian #sherlockholmesstories #sherlockholmesfilm #sherlockholmesmovie #sherlock #sherlockholmesbooks #amwriting #amreading #inspo #inspiration #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #tvhistory #adaptation #holmesian #detective #consultingdetective #crimefiction #writer #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #writerscommunity #writingtimes #writingtime #writerlife #authorlife #authorlifestyle #stories #storytime #read https://www.instagram.com/p/CZeeQdzM7e5/?utm_medium=tumblr

I have recently been reunited with my collection of Sherlock Holmes related books (for the first time since the pandemic started), so will be sharing some of them for your reading pleasure 🔍 This one in particular has been so helpful in looking up minor characters and places, but also items of Victorian nature, such as the hansom cab. My first novel is set in modern day London, but there is a very exciting reason I have been researching Victorian props... . . . . . #writers #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #writings #writingtime #readingtime #read #reading #reader #readersofinstagram #readingcommunity #researching #author #authors #authorlife #writerslife #writerly #sherlockholmes #sherlockian #holmes #holmesian #sherlockholmesstories #sherlock #sherlockholmesbooks #basilrathbone #crimefiction #victorian #encyclopedia #johnwatson #doctorwatson https://www.instagram.com/author_janina_arndt/p/CY9qL-kMbB2/?utm_medium=tumblr

We've done it again! The Fantasy Writers' Toolshed were kind enough to invite our Fey Fellows Podcast back for their next episode and we had a great time chatting about folklore and how it has been and can be used to inspire fantasy writing.

Perhaps it's not a coincidence that our favourite consulting detective has his birthday on Epiphany day... Here's to you, Sherlock - may you continue to plague many more authors with your genius! 🕵🎊 . . . . . #writer #author #writerslife #otd #onthisday #birthday #sherlockholmes #sherlockian #sherlockholmesstories #sherlockholmesmuseum #sherlock #storytime #holmes #holmesian #consultingdetective #conandoyle #drwatson #drjohnwatson #crimefiction #221bbakerstreet #fiction #fictionalcharacters #fictionalbirthday https://www.instagram.com/p/CYZbAW8sEj4/?utm_medium=tumblr

As a lover of both fantasy and Sherlock Holmes, I wouldn't have thought it possible to bring the two together as masterfully as @gsdenning has done. The key is the immaculate parody that is Warlock Holmes. With Watson making Holmes' deductions for him & the great detective relying on demons to help him out, this is the fresh take 221B needs when so much has been tried out already. Thoroughly enjoying this! . . . . . #sherlock #sherlockholmes #holmes #johnwatson #drwatson #doctorwatson #221bbakerstreet #crimefiction #mystery #metafiction #thriller #mysterythriller #writer #writing #writes #writers #writerscorner #writerscommunity #writerslife #authors #authorlife #book #books #novels #read #reading #reader #readers #readersofinstergram #readingtime https://www.instagram.com/p/CXOcpO6MVyI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Aaand on to the next in the series! While I'm preparing for submission, I've started diving back into my research for the third novel, so I will probably be sharing some of these quote gems from now as I dig them up under dusty old piles of files. 🕵️‍♀️ . . . . . #sherlock #sherlockholmes #holmes #johnwatson #drwatson #doctorwatson #221bbakerstreet #crimefiction #mystery #metafiction #thriller #mysterythriller #writer #writing #writes #writers #writerly #writings #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writerscorner #writerscommunity #writerslife #writerlife #author #authors #authorlife #authorslife https://www.instagram.com/author_janina_arndt/p/CXMYbm9Mdx7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Anyone else struggling to decide? 😆 As a writer you have to love all your characters, right? . . . . . #sherlockholmes #jamesmoriarty #sherlock #bbcsherlock #characters #fiction #crimefiction #mystery #mysterythriller #arthurconandoyle #conandoyle #writing #writingcommunity #fictionalcharacters #dinner #sherlockholmesstories #writinginspo #writers #writingcommunity #reader #readersofinstagram #readingtime #reading #literature #books #amreading #amwriting #inspiration #writinginspiration #writingspace #detective https://www.instagram.com/p/CW-zLWvM4yy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Well done to everyone taking part in #nanowrimo2021 ! It's been a wild journey, even just for me, who only edited her second novel the n-th time, but we made it through!

Would anyone like to venture a guess what that hat might be? 😆 As I'm editing the sequel to Spiral Mind, I am sometimes drawn to where it all began.
