This story is off to a start. We meet the central character for this story, but we don't know much about him at this point. I know we'll learn more in future chapters. Already, I've meet one character I'm not fond of, Senshen.

 

I'm also think, as these stories remind me of some other unfinished stories, that these tales will come together eventually and bring all the characters together for the final battle.

The next chapter has been posted here, and I hope to have another up early next week.

[Dolores Esteban]

Excellent chapter. I want to read on and find out about these coins. Very will written, in my opinion.

Chapter 3, Midnight Raid, was posted a few minutes ago. Please let me know what you think.

Hmmmmm, the plot thickens.

[David McLeod]

And the villain is back: Chapter 4, Life-Stealer, has been posted to

 

eFiction at Knight Templar in Training.

 

Hope you enjoy it, and look forward to hearing from you all.

I get the feeling that somehow, Senshen may be directly, or indirectly involved somehow. Or is trying to discredit Alten. Only time will tell.

[TalonRider]

How cruel can a person get than ending a chapter with a cliffhanger?

[David McLeod]

What cliffhanger? They're on a plateau, on top of a mountain.

You've learned your lessons well. You're denying using a cliffhanger. Sounds like someone else I know.

I like how the story is going. The plot is interesting, with some sorta internal power struggle going on the background of the Temple.

 

I would still like to see more personality in your characters Maybe it's a bit too early in the story, hopefully they'll be developed more soon

As you have, before, you find and point out my weaknesses. I do appreciate that. I know James and Kenneth; they're both very vivid, three-dimensional people. Alten and Senshen less so, but still they're real. The challenge is to make them real to the reader, and I'm beginning to realize that is a problem for me. Thanks for the honorable feedback.

Chapter 6 has been posted: Knight Templar in Training. Hmm, perhaps they were on a cliff.

 

Look forward to hearing from you all.

Just want to let you know that I'm still reading your stories. I have difficulties to keep up, since I am busy at work. But so far I have read all the chapters and all the stories. I'm still fascinated. I love this new world. It's a beautiful tale.

 

[TalonRider]

Things turned out better than I thought they would with the lightening. Even tho Martin faltered for a bit, it all was good. I'm guessing that the silver hammer was only meant to break the sword, thus releasing it of its evil, but the lightening helped destroy it completely.

 

If I didn't know any better, I would have sworn the bonding ceremony was more like a wedding ceremony.

Thank you so very much. I like your new logo. Things may slow down for the holidays.

It had not escaped me that the bonding ceremony between James and Kenneth, and the oath of fealty between David and George were as formal, meaningful, loving, and binding as any marriage on this Earth-analogue. We'll see more of this, and some less than subtle discussion of the issue in stories and chapters to come.

 

As usual, you see more deeply into the symbolism than I do; I'd not considered the role of the lightning.

 

Thanks for your post.

[David McLeod]

The final chapter of Knight Templar in Training has been posted to eFiction. However, we will see more of James, Kenneth, Alten, and (hiss) Senshen, in the continuation of In the Prince's Secret Service, the next chapter of which will be posted within a few days. Thanks to all for your support and feedback.

I'm guessing that the inn was hidden somehow by magic and can only be seen at certain times.

 

It will be interesting to see how the two stories, Knight Templar and the Princes Secret Service blend together.

I started reading "Barrett the Beggar" and actually loved the first bit of that and I was pretty disappointed when I found that I picked a story that wasn't complete *pouts* Anyway, I was going to go off and read another but I found that a lot of the stories are in the same universe. So, just a quick question; where do I start? Is there any particular order to read these in or can I just pick one at random and run with it? Thanks in advance and apologies if this question is answered somewhere very obviously in bold letters and I missed it anyway *waves*

I relly enjoy your stories especially Knight Templar in Training, but what you said at the the end of the last chapter that it would be continued another story. Are all of your stories interconnected like one happened before the other or just different spin off one of your stories?

Thanks for saying you loved "Barrett..." and apologies for an incomplete story. The next and final chapter should be posted on the 25th. I say final, knowing that while one door closes, another opens, to coin an expression.

 

Where to start? The only story that is complete is "Knight Templar in Training," but it's complete only because it's going to be merged (Tuesday 23rd) with "In the Prince's Secret Service." That story has several chapters, already, and about 20+ to go. I plan to post about a chapter a week. There's a little interaction with the story, below, but it's not important, yet.

 

Book of Heroes: George of Sedona (BOH:GOS) , has about 8 of 30+ chapters up. it will be updated about the same rate: a chapter a week. Oh, yes. James (the Knight Templar in Training) has a small role in BOH:GOS. But it's not important, yet. BOH:GOS can be read stand-alone for the present, but it's incomplete and will be that way for a while.

 

The Translator is about half-way through, and will have about a chapter a week posted. It does not link with any of the other stories for a long, long time.

 

The Paladin. Hmmm. Two of 13 chapters are up; it, too, will be updated about a chapter a week. It is a standalone story that does not interact with the others.

 

You've put me on the horns of a bull: I don't want to disappoint you with too many "to be continueds," but I can't crank the chapters out any faster. Please be patient.

 

Thanks again for your post.

Your post came in as I was replying to the one you. Part of what you asked are in the post above this one. (If I weren't a Luddite, I probably could figure out how to merge these two posts. I am, however, a Luddite.) As far as a timeline:

 

Book of Heroes: George of Sedona begins about 15 B.A. (Before Auric's coronation) and runs through about 3 A.A. (After Auric's coronation). It has a brief link with "In the Prince's Secret Service/Knight Templar in Training," but the link isn't critical.

 

In the Prince's Secret Service begins about 1 A.A. and will continue for at least 3--4 years.

 

Knight Templar in Training starts about 1 A.A., and merges within a year with In the Prince's Secret Service.

 

Barrett the Beggar, The Paladin, and The Translator are stand-alone for all practical purposes.

 

Hope this helps.
