The Sexton Blake Blog. Saturday, 15 November 2014. The Mark Hodder Interview Part Four. For some time now I`ve been posting my recent interview with Sexton Blake author Mark Hodder on this blog in instalments. Parts 1 - 3 apppeared on 8, 15 and 19 October respectively so now it must be time for Part Four! Q) From comments you`ve posted online* I would think you have a very different worldview to that of Blake, yet you clearly have an enduring fascination with his world. Why do you think that is? So for m...

The Sexton Blake Blog. Monday, 23 September 2013. Jack` Confesses - "I Wrote a Sexton Blake! I wrote a Sexton Blake. I was paid half the going rate because the story had to be "cleaned up and cut down by half", although when it appeared in the bookshops, under a house-name that seemed more suited to an undertaker or a bent solicitor, not a word had been changed, not a comma snipped. Jack Adrian, from his introduction to Sexton Blake Wins. Http:/ ukcomics.wikia.com/wiki/Chris Lowder. W A Ballinger was one...

The Sexton Blake Blog. Sunday, 9 June 2013. W J Passingham - The Case of the Ace Acomplice - Sexton Blake Library - 3rd Series, Number 298. The moon came up as twilight closed in over the River Thames. Shadows deepened along the banks on each side of the broad ribbon of water, so that wharves and warehouses, familiar enough in daylight, became shrouded in mystery.". He has less luck elsewhere. First we are introduced to a sharp-shooting expert on precious stones known as Diamond Willie (I`m not makin...

http://thesextonblakeblog.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
The Sexton Blake Blog. Thursday, 29 May 2014. Walter Tyrer - A Writers` Life. Regular visitors to this blog can hardly be unaware of my fondness (some would say fascination) with the works of Walter Tyrer. Whether it`s The Strange Affair of the Shotgun Sniper, The Crime at Fenton Towers or one of his many other SBL titles, Walt`s the man for me. I`ve since been fortunate to hear from one of his daughters, retired journalist Jennifer de Fries, who was able to correct the impression I had formed ;. He was ...

The Sexton Blake Blog. Friday, 17 May 2013. Obverse Books Acquires License to Sexton Blake From IPC Media.

For more information contact Stuart Douglas at Obverse Books via their website. Anyway, it`s a worthy venture which I hope all Blake fans will support. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Sexton Blake Blog: Voices from America - Daniel Stashower and Lora Roberts
http://thesextonblakeblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/voices-from-america-daniel-stashower.html
The Sexton Blake Blog. Saturday, 15 November 2014. Voices from America - Daniel Stashower and Lora Roberts. I abandoned the practise of occasionally looking at the wider world of crime fiction some time ago, largely because I didn`t feel I had the time to do it justice. Having said that, visitors to this blog may be interested in two books I read not so long ago, The Dime Museum Murders by Daniel Stashower and The Affair of the Incognito Tenant by Lora Roberts.
