My apologies for not posting in the last two weeks. Heart issues cropped up and I am on a 24/7 monitor now and resting. Even though I haven't been sitting down with my laptop, I have been in the formulary stage with characters, delving in deeper to see what makes them tick, noting plot lines and reading stories on my not-so-smartpad. =o) I'm hoping to get a better idea of what is wrong, heartwise, by the 25th and find the energy to stay awake.

I saw you mention on @jechang 's profile that you have a similar academic background, and since I also have a similar one, I thought I'd follow you :)

"Whisper of the Silent Hand - Chapter Five - Knowledge is Power" is up now. Feel free to read it and make comment.
          
          This chapter started off at about 1700 words. Today I added another 4100 to it. It took a turn I was not expecting, but felt natural. It drives the plot forward. 
          
          In this chapter I introduce the reader to two new characters who have had a direct impact on Thayne Trelesta's life. Be prepared for some strong language from one them. He a humorous lunk, but not lovable.
          
          "Chapter Six - Apprentices of Shadow" is in the starting gates
          
          Enjoy!

A draft of "Chapter Five - Knowledge is Power" has been uploaded. I'm working on the end scene getting the timing from Chapter One set from a different point of view within the Port City of Cor-Armagh. 
          
          Passage of time is a strange thing when you are in the center of a maelstrom, compared to that of an outsider that is watching from a distance.. This will take some work. =o)

There was an error with the uploading of Chapter Four. It's been resolved. If you are using a mobile device, you may need to clear your cache before you are able to view Chapter Four in its entirety

Chapter Four of Whisper of the Silent Hand is up now for your enjoyment!
          
          The "Battle Dance" has finished in my mind and it is down on paper now. =o)
          
          So far, I've written little over 14,000 words in the four chapters posted. In traditional 12 point format with Courier font. That translates to about 57 pages of story so far. 
          
          Please place a vote and leave a note. =o) Enjoy the weekend!

The first part of Chapter 4 is up. I've had to do a lot of reworking the material in this section. Bear with me (pardon the pun, but you'll understand once you read the chapter lol) as I leave Chapter Four here for the moment. My mind is in the process of doing the dreaded "battle dance" and putting it down to paper as it were.  I hope you are enjoying the book so far.
          
          Please, leave a note and place a vote. Thank you! =o)

"Whisper of the Silent Hand - Chapter Three - Gluttony is not a Secret Vice" is now available... This chapter introduces one of the more insidious characters I've created.
