"It is with a heavy heart" [FINA]  The worlds of Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle enthusiasts have lost a giant. Jon Lellenberg, invested in the Baker Street Irregulars as "Rodger Prescott of Evil Memory" in 1974, passed away on April 24, 2021 after a short illness.   Jon's contribution to our hobby was almost too immense for words. He was a confidant and representative of the Conan Doyle Estate for many years, extending back to a close relationship with Dame Jean Conan Doyle. As an author and editor, he contributed to a number of books on Conan Doyle's life, including A Life in Letters and Dangerous Work, both co-edited with Dan Stashower, BSI ("Thurston").    Jon's knowledge of early Irregularity and the times in which those Irregulars lived and worked was unrivaled, which made him the perfect person to tackle the BSI Archival History Series. During that time, he was known as the Thucydides of the Baker Street Irregulars.   With four appearances on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere, Jon gave us so much material with which to work, so we pulled some clips from previous episodes to pepper our memories of him. If you have memories, please share them in a comment below and see the links for more information.   Plus, we have an announcement about a very rare piece of Sherlockian/Irregular history related to Jon Lellenberg that is available for auction.  The Canonical Couplet quiz winner this time will win a copy of Jon Lellenberg's The Quest for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: Thirteen Biographers in Search of a Life. Answers are due by May 29, 2021 at 11:59 a.m. Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below.

Writer Meredith Finch, best known for work her on Wonder Woman, Rose, and Xena catches up with Creator Talks to enlighten us about her Kickstarter for The Book of Ruth. The classic biblical story is refreshed for a more contemporary audiences set in Texas during The Great Depression.  Kickstarter has designated it as a “Project We Love”. Nevada local and graduate of SCAD Colin Dyer provides the art for this beautifully illustrated black and white graphic novel. And there are also several additional cover options to choose from contributed by comic pros such as Jason Fabok, David Finch, Billy Tucci and Lee Weeks. Why did Meredith decide to have her book crowd funded rather than published through Cave Pictures, which published her last mini-series The Light Princess? Meredith also discusses writing her other series now on sale The Age of Conan: Valeria mini-series for Marvel Comics. Valeria first appeared in Robert E. Howard’s final serialized Conan story Red Nails published posthumously in Weird Tales July through October of 1936.  What does Valeria’s share in common with Meredith’s other characters she has written? How does Meredith's approach add more nuance to Valeria's character and reveal the reason behind her expertise with the sword? As I bring the interview to a close, Kick Back With The Creator as ask Meredith what grinds her gears, does she have regrets about “the one that got away” and what does she wish she knew when she was younger that she knows now?   Please rate and review Creator Talks on iTunes   About the Book of Ruth Kickstarter   About the Age of Conan: Valeria

Do you ever catch yourself watching, wishing and waiting to press play on a dream or idea that’s been brewing in your heart? What I’ve noticed with many of my clients is they already have success in business, but they have this secret heart project that they want to bring to the world.   In this episode, I get cozy with Lynnette Abbott where we talk about trust, taking steps blindly and making decisions from love, not fear.  Lynnette Abbott is the founder and designer of Craft My Occasion, a company that creates party supplies celebrating children of color. What started as a party planning company, turned into a purpose-driven company when Lynnette discovered that there was a huge disparity in the amount and variety of party supplies that feature characters of colors. As a creative, Lynnette was compelled to create more diversity for the party planning industry. Craft My Occasion’s party supplies raised more than $21,000 and was named a “Project We Love” by Kickstarter. The party supplies have also been featured in The Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, Parents, Black Enterprise, and POPSUGAR. What you'll hear (and don't want to miss!): :: The pivotal moment Lynnette realized she needed to change directions in her career and still be creative, but with less stress :: What challenges Lynnette overcame to pursue her passion project :: What the journey to start her own business looked like, including the way she successfully used a Kickstarter campaign to make it all happen :: Where Lynnette’s passion for celebrating parties comes from :: What lessons healing from cancer has taught Lynnette and the way she’s applied them to her business :: The amazing story about how she stopped wishing and waiting, and made her dream of living on Hawaii a reality You can find the full show notes from this episode over at https://jadahsellner.com/celebrating-life-now-lynnettee-abbott-155  In this episode, we mentioned the Build Your Challenge course that Lynnette joined before launching her $21,000 Kickstarter campaign. You can get the 5-step roadmap for free at buildyourchallenge.com And to learn more about the Love Over Metrics Incubator that Lynnette has been a part of, make sure you’re on the waitlist at loveovermetrics.com One thing that I love is hearing from you.
