A Letter from the Warrior-In-Hero-Training School

February 12, 2014 by Gillian Bronte Adams 12 Comments

Every now and then I find something odd sitting on my make-believe desk in my amazing fictitious writing office secreted away in an imaginary attic. It started with a letter from the Spy at the Academy of Ultimate Villainy. From letters it progressed to recordings and transcripts.

Since then, it’s been fairly quiet.

But when I tramped through the door this evening after work, dripping wet and shivering with the cold, I found this propped up on my desk … and no sign of any intruder.

In short, it seems this blog is soon to be graced with posts submitted by the Headmaster of the WIHT School of the Round Table. And no, that’s not a typo, I discovered. It stands for Warrior-In-Hero-Training. Though if it is the most prestigious hero school in the world, I can’t help wondering why I haven’t heard of it before.

One hears about that sort of thing in my line of work.

It’s been a while since we’ve received any news from our Spy, so I am rather intrigued to see what we can glean from Sir Galgadin’s posts on the knightly-heroic side of things. Though to be honest, I’m not quite sure what to expect.

Thoughts?

    Ooh, exciting! I loved the villain series, and I'm sure this hero series will be awesome too!

    I actually double-majored from there in heroic drama and escapology (a handy skill with all those villains), with a minor in swordplay and archery. It's a great school. Of course, I couldn't let them figure out I was a girl. : )

      A double-major! Goodness gracious me! What fun. I imagine you'll enjoy revisiting lectures from your alma mater. Any hints you can give on who this Sir Galgadin character is?

      Well, he wore a disguise when I knew him, so I can't tell you what he looks like. There are rumors that he was once a villain… but then, that information is confidential to graduates. Sorry. ; )

    EEEEEEEK! How exciting! I can't wait to hear more from Sir Galgadin! This will be so cool.

    Gillian, you stun me with your cleverness. I can't wait to read any of your books. This looks great. :D

    Oh happy day! We are going back to school!
    I wonder if we will soon be hearing from the Anti-hero University and the Side-kick College as well.

      I shouldn't be at all surprised! Apparently there are more of these institutions scattered about the world than I would have thought.

    Ooh! A Hero Training School? I've very much enjoyed the transcripts and recordings from the Villain's Academy, and definitely look forward to this series.

    (Look, Sir Galgadin! Everyone's excited!)

    I think it sounds exciting. Knights and adventures and heroes and danger. You might need a sword though. Villains have been known to get out of hand, which, I suppose is only to be expected.
