Retro Con Event 9/25-26/2021

For those that know this Blogger, you’ll remember my mentioning a Retro Convention, that I organize with my husband. That’s my reason for these delays in posting of late and of course work on top of that! I’ll continue to try and post when I can, and if you’re local please do check out our Retro Convention! -Rose aka Blogger 

RETRO CON is happen NEXT weekend: https://retrocons.com/

Steven and Mark do it again!

Another masterpiece by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss!

Dracula portrayed by Claes Bang.

Although waiting for another Sherlock season can seem tedious at times, I think this new series does make up for the delay in Sherlock! I binge-watched the first two episodes before I took pause to write this, with a 123-year jump!

The setting was perfect…

What’s happened so far? I won’t give away to much… But I will say, I loved the victorian time period! I also loved seeing Jonathan Aris as Captain Sokolov, a part he played very well. He’s a captain ready to go down with his ship! (Oops… That Might have been a spoiler.)

Jonathan Aris as Captain Sokolov, in the second episode of Dracula.

I also love (Dolly Wells) as Sister Agatha! Dracula portrayed by Claes Bang has a suitable adversary Sister Agatha, and I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds!

Dolly Wells as Sister Agatha.

Now onto the next episode! Sherlock Fans… Keep Watching!
You can find Dracula on Netflix!
Again lots of love to Steven, Mark, Sue, and the entire crew at Hartswood Films! Thanks for bringing us so much joy!

HOURS LATER…

Dracula and Lucy listening to the undead.

The Dark Compass…
After a crazy day of running, I finally finished the last episode of Dracula, and like the previous episodes, I was very impressed! I’m trying to restrain myself when it comes to spoilers, but I will say there’s a hint of Sherlock in the last episode, especially when it comes to cell phones. Mark Gatiss also has an interesting role as Frank, the attorney of Dracula.

Times are changing, Frank with his client.

BEING DIFFERENT…MAKES YOU SUPER!

I’m shifting from my Sherlock goodies, to spotlight a special book today. It’s about a Little Owl Autism… The book shows us that it’s okay to be different, rather it’s a child that suffers from a hearing loss, needs a wheelchair, or is blind, everyone has a special ability that makes us Super! I for one was picked on as a kid, for having thick glasses. What you look like shouldn’t matter, and this amazing book proves it! It’s a must own!

Age wise… I’d say this book’s geared more towards kids 7 and up, you adults might enjoy it too though, as I have!

Lil Bro, the owl who has Autism becomes a Super Hero and saves the day! Follow the book on Facebook, for more details and to buy the book, go to www.superowl.org!

The story and art for the book is by Lester Jones.

The Collaborator of the book is my friend Steven Dodd!

A Harry Potter Weekend in NY City!

IMG_5597

I’m taking it beyond Baker Street today, to brag a bit about my adventures in NY City this past weekend, and how I met Daniel Radcliffe! My friend Denise and I mainly went to New York City, to see Radcliffe in The Lifespan of a Fact. The Play was brilliant and very entertaining, and I can’t say one actor was better than another because all three were fabulous, Cherry Jones and Bobby Cannavale were also a part of this amazing cast! [Above is a photo of my friend Denise and I, about to enter Studio 54, for The Lifespan of a Fact!]

It was beautiful inside the theater too!

I got Daniel’s autograph and so did Denise, but it was difficult to get any photos with the talent, with all the fangirls… I heard someone actually ask Daniel if he’d date them, he was very polite as he said no, ‘I’m seeing someone’. I did get a few photos of the actor, as he was heading in, and I’ll forever cherish my signed pop figure!

So I posed with the Grinch instead, with my signed Pop Figure!

And there was a ton of Grinch to see in Time Square, most of these photos and videos are from Forever 21 in Time Square!

Light Years Away..

CWB copy

Light Years Away, and Beyond Baker Street, I spotlight a fellow Sherlock fan and her fun books! My friend Christine White has written a few books, that are sure to please Sci-Fi fans and Johnlock fans alike! Her first book is titled Light Years Away, her second Gravitational Forces!

Here’s a bit more on these two wonderful books and a way to purchase these books!

Mated to the Captain Book 1: Light Years Away

[Gay Sci-Fi romance featuring a sassy human, an irascible alien captain, and adventure beyond both their dreams.]

Unemployment is stressful enough—but throw in the threat of being tossed out the space station’s airlock as a vagrant, and human Del is in desperate need of employment. No job, no place to stay, Del wants nothing more than to be back out amongst the stars, preferably as a bridge crew member. Trouble is, his dreams are bigger than his starship experience and years, and Del finally heads to a bar to drown his frustrations.

Getting drunk might not have been the smartest thing to do—as he wakes in a strange, handsome alien’s bed, with no memory of the night before. When that strange alien calls him mate, Del thinks that maybe all his problems are over. He finally has a job. Or does he?

Quinn wants love and a family, but his duty as captain to a Xolian space cruiser leaves little time for forging relationships. When drunk and adorable human Del propositions him in a space bar, begging to be his first mate, Quinn hopes that maybe he can have both duty and love. Until the next morning, when the alcohol wears off and cultural barriers and misunderstandings set off a chain reaction of mayhem, mischief, and trouble that follows Del wherever he goes.

A relationship that began as a mistake may become something more—bound by love and desire, and all they must do now is survive the journey.

Mated to the Captain Book 2: Gravitational Forces

[Gay sci-fi romance featuring a sassy human, an irascible alien captain, and adventure beyond both their dreams.]

Just when he thought he was safe…

Trouble seemed to find Del no matter what he did. He got caged as a pet to a fly, caught in a trap as food, chased by a crazy, saw-wielding doctor and found himself mated to an alien Captain. One year after the consummation of their relationship Del thought that trouble was far behind him. Little did he know that life was going to get far more challenging and dangerous than ever before.

Quinn too was ready to get some rest and relaxation. But something strange followed them aboard the Narada Marant, something with tentacles and a unique appetite for Xolians. If that wasn’t bad enough, a cunning, evil warlord had his sights on kidnapping and selling Del. Looked like another rescue mission was going to be needed.

Getting pregnant would be the least of Del’s worries.

Again Kudos to a talented fan and friend!!
