TO: [log in to unmask] SUBJECT: RUSS-L -- Request for Host ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a request for a sponsor for a mailing list. Please do not respond in this discussion group, but forward all replies to my private address at [log in to unmask] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCING RUSS-L -- the Sherlock Holmes/Mary Russell Mailing List RUSS-L is a mailing list dedicated to in-depth analysis of Laurie R. King's widely acclaimed series of mystery novels featuring Oxford student Mary Russell and her mentor, the retired detective Sherlock Holmes-- THE BEEKEEPER'S APPRENTICE, A MONSTROUS REGIMENT OF WOMEN, and A LETTER OF MARY. Besides having an opportunity to dissect and discuss the books, members can count on receiving the latest information about Ms. King's publishing and tour schedules, plus some exclusive sneak previews of what lies ahead for Holmes and Russell. At present this list is being sent out in a weekly digest format to over 150 enthusiastic, literate and friendly subscribers, with five to eight new subscriptions coming in weekly. Our members include a NASA astrophysicist, a TV/film producer, several mystery bookstore owners, and occasionally, the author herself. Up until now I've been maintaining the list personally, using nothing more than a text editor and Internet Mail. However, the members are eager for more frequent doses of discussion, and the list, while still small by listserver standards, is getting a little too large for me to continue this manual compilation and distribution. But alas, my ISP doesn't offer a listserver program to its members. So I'm appealing to any beneficent individuals out there who might be willing to give RUSS-L a home. If you would like to have a look at some of our digests and find out more about Laurie R. King, Mary Russell and RUSS-L, visit "The Beekeeper's Holmes Page" at http://www.golden.net/~rebeccaj/beekeepr.html . If you would like to sponsor RUSS-L, please contact me at [log in to unmask] . Thank you for your time and consideration, and I hope to hear from you soon. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Rebecca J.
