Bio of M.Caldwell Hunter author of The Forgotten Templars and upcoming Vol.2 The Shield and The Lost Ship.
I am a recently retired Paramedic,Scottish Ambulance Service, and have a BSc in Health Studies.
The Forgotten Templars Volume 1 The Manuscript is my first full length novel and I wrote the novel over a period of almost 2 years. This sounds a long time but most writing was done in the small town of Barga, Italy during visits there. I would reckon that the actual writing took less than 3 months, about 4 weeks more than the editing took.

The idea for this book, first in series, has been in my head and written on scraps of paper for over 10 years, suddenly during one stay in Barga I decide do to try putting my thoughts down. I realised quickly that I needed a lot more research to make the novel realistic both historically and in the present.
The areas and settings are historically correct as are some of the characters, both Templar and similar orders. I used "artistic licence " with some historical facts along with inventing some characters.
In the present day section I tried to be as accurate as possible, I wanted as much realism in the storyline as possible therefore the settings are mostly real places, sometimes with name changes, as with Barga which became San Cristoforo slightly disguised.
It is a simple adventure story which becomes more involved as you read and is to be followed shortly by Volume 2 The Shield and the Lost Ship which carries on the adventure.
An update to The Forgotten Templar's has been put on Amazon Kindle which confirms that it is part of a series and gives a short taster of The Shield and the Lost Ship.
I have found I really enjoy writing and to be honest the research needed before I can start the storytelling.

The Forgotten Templars
|
In 1314 Jaques de Molay was burnt at the stake, there ended the story of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon, usually spoken of as Knights Templar. But what made the King of France and The Pope want to destroy them. Was it just greed for their land and monies? Or was there a more sinister reason?
Tales of a lost Templar fleet abound to this day, but these are all just myths, are they not?
De Molay had organised the removal of all the Templar artefacts in Europe, treasure included, and had left this task in the hands of the very capable De Courcy. His fleet sailed out of the Mediterranean and into legend never to be seen or heard from again.
No trace has ever been found. Until now!
Drew DeBleek received an e-mail from his old Professor. What he saw transformed his life and led to him being hunted by powers that wanted what he was now looking for.
They were more powerful than anyone realised and had been looking far longer than Drew, for they knew the legends were true. These people were now his adversaries.
Where could he find the help he needed?
The answer was a complete shock to him
He found people who he could trust with his life.
Willing to die to keep him alive.
What fate awaited Drew and his loyal friends?
Many years after De Molay's execution, after travelling with their families, three aged Knights presented themselves to Teutonic Knights telling of their long lives in Outreamer but when they or their families were asked about De Courcy or any Templar treasure, always they would answer "It is hidden God help the Church of Rome if the truth is told.
