The
adventures of Monsieur de La Donaree the Musketeer is a fictional,
swashbuckling, romantic tale which is set in seventeenth century
Europe. Monsieur Donaree is a relatively new member of King Louis
XIV.’s personal bodyguard who is alarmed to find out that the love of
his life, the beautiful Madame Charlotte de La Rose, has been
mysteriously abducted and carried off to England. Donaree’s adventures
to find her take him, not only into England, but also to the open sea
to face Pirates, and even on toward the coast of Spain. The story is
paced with adventurous sword-play, high-drama, un-guessable mystery,
occasional comedy, and even romance! The adventures of Donaree
recaptures the exciting novels of the greatest swashbuckling writers of
the past, mixed with the lavish swashbuckling movies of the first part
of the twentieth century, and it spins them all together with modern
experimental ideas.
Even though the Introduction gives
necessary historical information which properly places the Musketeers
into their relatively unknown place in history, the first chapter
starts off with an intense duel – which causes the victor, who does not
kill his opponent, to wonder what had caused the painstaking battle to
be fought in the first place. He was insulted, it is true, but he
cannot figure the reason of the bout. However, as Monsieur Donaree will
find out, his mysterious challenger will haunt him for the rest of his
adventure; and it will take him a while to put the pieces of the puzzle
together of how this mysterious duel was actually an attempt to stop
him from pursuing his advancements to find his lady.
But why is this?
His
clues lead him from Paris to London, where he faces more foes and more
danger once he arrives. But to his relief, he also finds that there is
a friend to be had in England as well. And this new friend, whose name
is Sir Roland, will be the key character who is needed for the much
anticipated rescue of Madame Rose. But once she is safe and sound,
Monsieur Donaree is horrified to find that Sir Roland’s long-time
Spanish Sea Captain friend, the infamous captain John Marlando, of whom
Roland innocently entrusts with the safe passage for his new friends
back to France, is also involved somehow with the mysterious abduction
of the lady! Once they had been safe, but now they are back into the
grips of harm’s way, and are set at sea with no more than an hundred
unfriendly, rough sailors. And as if this is not enough, they are also
boarded en-route (not to France as they had thought, but to Marlando’s
castle in Spain) with a band of Pirates.
Don't miss the exciting conclusion!

"Nicely done. I really enjoyed the history in the introduction and the duel is well written. Best of luck with the novel!" ~ Author David Lee Summers, author of five books: Vampires of the Scarlet Order, The Solar Sea, and the "Old Star" science fiction series: The Pirates of Sufiro, Children of the Old Stars, and Heirs of the New Earth. www.davidleesummers.com
"Very exciting read! Felt like I was there witnessing the action!" ~ Candle Artist Jfay, www.studio3bonline.com
"I really enjoyed the humour and really laughed, not at Monsieur de la Donaree but with Monsieur de la Donaree! I dont know if you wrote it in this spirit but if you had a bit of Molière in you, I would not be surprised! He knew how to study people and would turn situations into a comic play! I laughed out loud, this is a gem! Not only de la Donaree is a fine sword, he has also a fine nose when it comes to pinpoint personalities, I'm talking about the Inkeeper and his situation with the wife here!! The second part is indeed in pure swashbuckling spirit, in rhythm and enthusiasm! And the end is a cliff-hanger! The beginning is "cocasse" (funny) as they might have said then in Gascony, and witty! Indeed Alexandre Dumas had a sense of humour too and satirically created at least one of his character ( in another book) to a character made up by Molière in one of his comic play. And Molière also took his inspiration from Dumas' s Musketeers and "The Man in the Iron Mask." I liked it! I had fun while reading this chapter about Monsieur de la Donaree, as while following the spirit of the Musketeers you gave a contemporary touch to the text!" ~ Artist Nicole Marques, www.myspace.com/nicolemarques
"Hurrah, Ted! I gleefully await the next installment! LOVE the romantic stuff! Bring it on! There are few things in this world I like better than a hot Viscount. Keep going, Ted! Bravo! Keep writing! I can't wait to read more! But it is par for the course as I am also a writer. Keep in touch!" ~ Author Genella de Grey, author of "Remember Me." www.genelladegrey.com
"Wow - What a wonderful beginning. As a whole, you have a unique way of writing & you captivated me by a few sentences peaking my interest to continue. For instance: ...hazed by the early morning mist...I love it! I look forward to reading the next chapter. You've gained my interest. That was impresive & informative. You've still got the hook in & I'm dangling to hear more. Thanks for the sneak peak." ~ Aspiring Author R.F.Taylor: Rianna
"Well done. Chapter One entices the reader craving more. I will look for The Adventures of Monsieur de La Donaree the Musketeer on the web. Keep up the excellent writing..." ~ Ferf
