The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo by Holy Ghost Writer @SultanOfSalem #Excerpt

After the much-needed bath, Dantes puts on his dressing gown and lies down on his old bed, which he finds deeply comforting. He has played and traveled hard over the past few busy years, and he knows it has worn on him; there is more silver in his hair than before. He hopes to slow down soon, for he loves his new home with his family close by and misses them terribly.

The sweet, baby faces of his daughters loom in the darkness of his closed eyes. How blessed he is! He resolves to enjoy Paris while he is here, though. He wants to go to the opera while he is in town and also visit a few of his favorite haunts. Finally, he falls fast asleep, only to awaken to a servant telling him the meal is nearly ready.

The servant helps Dantes dress and leads him to the dining room.

“The table looks divine,” Dantes says, thinking how nice it is to be out of his traveling clothes and into something more refined. He looks at the spread before him—fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as two huge pheasants with mint jelly. The yeasty smell of homemade bread fills the air and makes his mouth water.

“I hope this pleases you, sir,” Valentine tells him. “I know the food in America is quite different. Perhaps you have become too accustomed to their fare to appreciate ours.”

“Oh, nothing can compare to a good French meal, although American food has its own charms. When the baby is old enough to travel, you will all have to visit my estate in Georgia. It’s a different world, but one I believe you will enjoy,” Dantes tells them.

Just then, he hears the creak of a wheelchair. In comes M. Noirtier. Dantes rushes over to him and bids him hello.

“My old friend!” he says. “My heart fills with joy to see you—let us enjoy this magnificent feast as well as one another’s company.”

The next morning, Dantes plans to visit more of his old friends, at least those who still reside in Paris. A carriage awaits him in the hazy light of dawn, and he is flooded with memories as he drives through the streets. He wishes Mercedes and Haydee could be at his side, but knows his daughters are far too young for such travel; it would exhaust them.

Getting to Know Holy Ghost Writer @SultanOfSalem #Action #tbr

Tell us a bit about your family. I am blessed with a wonderful family.

How do you work through self-doubts and fear? Always striving to do whatever I do better than the last effort, knowing that there is always room for improvement.

What scares you the most? Health issues

What makes you happiest? Making other people happy

What’s your greatest character strength? Patience

What’s your weakest character trait? Those rare times when I lose patience

Why do you write? To entertain and inspire and to fulfil my creativity
It is vital to get exposure and target the right readers for your writing, tell us about your marketing campaign? I use a lot of social media, Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram etc. and I use the shotgun approach. I think that the titles of my books are designed to bring in the readers that will most enjoy these mysterious, adventurous books.

Tell us about your new book? What’s it about and why did you write it? My newest book soon to be released is the sequel to That Girl Started Her Own Country called The Anonymous Girl which is about 300 pages and shows how she becomes the world’s first trillionare and finally starts her own country.

If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone dead or alive, who would you ask? Certainly all of the history’s greatest authors. What a night that would be.

When you are not writing, how do you like to relax? Watching a good movie, hiking with family or going out to dinner.

Do you have any tips on how writers can relax? Take a nap, otherwise keep reading and writing or go on an adventure of your own for inspiration. I find that reading books helps to get me into the flow of writing, but that may not work for others and can just be a waste of time if you want to write a book, but if it is non fiction reading you can get good ideas, even if so slightly used from reading nonfiction stuff.

The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo is a continuation of The Count of Monte Cristo (Book I), related through the voice of Sherlock Holmes and The Sultan of Monte Cristo (Book II). It includes exhilarating new adventures, characters, and ideas, carrying the reader past book I and II and into book III of an ever-expanding new series based on the classic.

Those who have already had the pleasure of reading The Sultan of Monte Cristo will certainly appreciate the unique way in which the Holy Ghost Writer has expanded the original story without the help of anyone (except perhaps from the ghosts of Dumas and Doyle).

In addition to comprising a 3rd sequel to The Count of Monte Cristo, The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo serves as a prequel to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
