Two new articles have been added to the "NPLH in the Media" page. 
The A-Z of Sherlock Holmes Performers - A Special Tribute & Contribution.  
A blog piece by Ray Wilcockson (co-author and frequent contributor with Howard Ostrom on many essays in The Diogenes Club Library)
​
"In this case, the horse's mouth is Sherlockian media expert, Howard Ostrom of Florida, whose alphabetical index of the world's Sherlock Holmes performers since 1893 recently passed a milestone: 3000 entries. The A-Z may be viewed HERE on the "No Place Like Holmes" website hosted by Ross K. Foad and this special post is by way of tribute to an admirable endeavour. 

I am delighted to see both these gentlemen in the record. Ross has the distinction of being the first to play Sherlock Holmes in a web series and he has just returned from a self-imposed hiatus to trail NPLH series 6. In the stories, Holmes is, to my mind, revealed as more than a detective in his love of music and Ross comes across as a man of more (creative) parts too in the personal statement that introduces his trailer. I think this a salutary lesson for all Sherlockians.

Our 2nd article is from The Den of Geek, originally posted in Aug 2016, but obviously I was not around to input this one in. And is entitled "The Portrayals of Culverton Smith:" and has a large section of it on "The Mary Morstan Mysteries"

"The Mary Morstan Mysteries is a spin-off of the dramedy web series No Place Like Holmes. While the latter take Sherlock Holmes and Watson and, with the in-universe assistance of a demonic ritual, place them in modern times, The Mary Morstan Mysteries tell the story of Watson's wife and her Victorian solo adventures.

The Mary Morstan Mysteries play faster and looser with canon than any of the aforementioned Sherlock incarnations, but the result is a funny, unpredictable, and endlessly creative story with his roots in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories, but its execution thoroughly in the Internet Age."
