Sir Edwin Dunfrees - excerpt from the novel
Yes this is a bit out of the ordinary, so please bear with for a brief explanation.
What I have done here is actually in honor of
Wertyda456 Werty has been a friend and member of our Thursday Prompt for some time now. I have watched his progress with interest and a smile. He specifically loves martial arts. The other day, I remembered a chapter in my very first novel, 'The Adventures of Sir Edwin Dunfrees by Sir Edwin Dunfrees' which contains a story about boxing, so over the last five days I gave it a once over, edit wise.
(Werty, you should run this through a translator first, and please know that I wish I could speak more than one language.)
For everyone else - this excerpt is 50 pages. If you choose to read it, you will find that it is a very quick read; meaning you will be pulled in and held until your happy eyes grow tired.
The book is on Kindle, and free for the read, should you feel inclined to see the whole story.

Of note, the title is such, because Sir Edwin actually told me the story. (Yes I am smiling.) This novel began as an article about fencing, which I have taught for many years. At the end of that article, since it was written in story form (my preferred method of teaching on paper), Sir Edwin looked at me and said, "I've got this." So, on we went. It turned out he was a Lancer in WWI.
This is also where I re-established my connection with something that has been in my family for a long time, and shows up every now and again. Yes, I have had encounters with what we call the supernatural. In this case, when I mention that Sir Edwin told me this story, that is a truth which is a tad hard to explain... that said, during the writing process, I found myself knowing things I had no right to know.
Characters:
Sir Edwin is a very old man. During the story, he passed at 105 years old, and I cried. In this chapter he is telling a story from his youth.
Maestro Buford (retired cavalry) adopted Edwin when he was young.
Lord Bottomly, Buford's old and closest friend, takes care of Edwin from the time of the Maestro's passing.
Wallace is a journalist who, after having met Sir Edwin, and deciding to record his story, transcribes the tales.
Maestro Worley is His Lordship's personal bodyguard.
Privy is Edwin' closest friend.
I think that about sums things up.
As a post note to all of my writing friends, I began writing this around 2002. During the writing, (thank you internet) I met some wonderful people who were very informative and helpful.
And so, being that I must now prepare for my grandson's birthday dinner, I wish you much happiness... eh?... very well.
This just in - Sir Edwin wishes me to remind everyone that your own life is actually a grand adventure no matter what you might think of it. Relish that fact, because it's where all the stories you might tell come from.
Enjoy...
