Welcome to our new writer, P.C. Martin!

I'm very excited to introduce our new adaptation author, P.C.  Martin.  Like Daniel Cortes, P.C. Martin is from Argentina - Daniel Cortes recommended P.C. when I told him I was looking for a new adaptation author.

P.C. presented me with some sample writing specific to Steampunk Holmes and I was very, very impressed. P.C. adds humor, drama, and action to the story and has plans to make some changes from the original "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans", which is fine with me since I don't think that story was working out so well. We'll keep many of the elements from the original, but we are going to re-arange things and basically modernize the short story.  This may not sit well with traditional Sherlock Holmes fans, but the point is not to stick to cannon but to introduce a new interpretation of a classic set of characters in a steampunk universe.  Anyway, P.C. is an excellent writer and will produce a story that is as engaging as Daniel art work. Welcome aboard P.C.!

The above scene is an unfinished illustration by Daniel Cortes of a meeting between Holmes, Watson, Mycroft and Lestrade in Mycroft's government office.  It's not done and Daniel may not like me posting it, but its too cool and I just had to share it.
