The case of the closed case
Fans of the great detective will be pleased to learn the U.S. Supreme Court, by declining to hear a case, has made Sherlock Holmes fair game for new interpretation. I love the original stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, but I also love some of the newer tales. Laurie King’s stories of Mary Russell are among my favorite.

Day 2
First, let me say my plan for November is not to write a NaNo-related post every day. They do that sort of thing on the NaNo site.
