Type of Event: Author Visit

Date: Tuesday, December 29, 2009 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Come meet Steve Hockensmith, author of the Holmes on the Range hit book series.  Mr. Hockensmith will talk about the books, writing and afterward he will sign books.  Local bookstore Fireside Books will have books available for purchase.

As noted in Library Journal of the first book in the series: 

"Cross-genre fiction can be a lot of fun when it works. This first novel will keep both mystery fans and afficionados of Westerns grinning from the first page to the last. Two German cowboy brothers, Gustav ("Old Red") and Otto ("Big Red") Amlingmeyer, have been reading the adventures of Sherlock Holmes in magazines and take on the roles of the master detective and his sidekick, Watson...the result is highly recommended for all mystery and Western collections. Hockensmith, whose short stories featuring Big Red and Old Red appear in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, lives in Petaluma, CA."
