For those of you who’s wondering, Quest for Knighthood will be published in five parts, unless I deem that I need to chop it up a bit more while editing the last two parts. The core text is finished, I’m brushing it up and editing it as I go along. In other words, we’re more than half way there in this first short story here on OrnTales.com.

The next story will also feature Stiel, by the way.

I’d like to send a big thank you to my readers so far. Thanks for reading, and thanks for sending me comments via e-mail, on Pownce, through my blog, and whatnot. Your numbers will grow with time I’m sure.

Yesterday I published the second part in the short story Quest for Knighthood. Part three and four are due next week, so enjoy your weekend. When you come back for more here at OrnTales.com, I’ll hopefully be done with the planned updates to the site. That’s my goal at least, that and writing some more.

Just a quick blog post before I leave for the weekend.

I just published the World of Orn page. It’ll be a constant work in progress, but now at least there’s something.

I also updated the bio page, which will give you a little insight in what I’ve done so far, but it’s not much of an author bio yet. That’ll come with time, when it’s warranted, I’m sure.

Finally, I’d like to pipe in a push for my blog posts on writing over at rethord.com - that’s my blog. Take a look if you’re interested, they’re not directly related to Orn or OrnTales.com, but naturally they reflect my writing philosophy and whatnot.

Enjoy the weekend, and read a great book, as well as part two in the Quest for Knighthood story!

I decided to start a little project this week. As you might know I’m also writing fiction, both for online projects (like OrnTales.com) and, well, offline things.

To further push myself to the fiction breathing monster of ten years ago, I’m willing to try any technique. My most recent one is very analog indeed. I decided to buy a Moleskine notebook, and a high quality ball pen that felt good in my hand. More

Yesterday I wrote about me getting back to fiction. Today I’m launching OrnTales.com, my fantasy fiction project. Be sure to check it out if you’re into these kind of things. There will be an on-going short story all the time, with two new parts published each week. The first one is called Quest for Knighthood, and the first part is up, with the next one due on Wednesday.

To me, this is an exciting project. It’ll be very interesting to see how I can use the blogging format, as well as the blogosphere - although it’ll be in parts of it that I’m not well-versed at all - for promoting my fiction.

For now, I’m happy to have launched it. This week have not started well, so I’ll settle for that.

Enjoy OrnTales.com, and be sure to tell me what you think!

Welcome to OrnTales.com. This is where I, Thord Daniel Hedengren, will tell you adventurous stories from the fantasy world of Orn - my creation. I’ll start us off with a short story titled Quest for Knighthood, and we’ll go from there.

You might want to subscribe to updates so that you won’t miss out on neither the action, nor this blog. Perhaps you’d like to learn a little bit about Orn itself, and maybe even of me - the author?

Enjoy your stay!

PS. I know, I know - comments aren’t enabled. I’ll add it later on, just need to hammer out some things first. If you want to shout, do it over at rethord.com - I’ll listen for sure. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ladies and gentlemen, with this post I’m pleased to announce that I’m writing fiction again.

That is largely to the credit of none other than author Stephen King, I’m sure you’ve heard of him. I don’t know the man nor belong to his horror loving fanbase. In fact, from what I’ve read by him I prefer his short stories. That makes his importance in this matter pretty fascinating, if you ask me. More

This one’s for an upcoming project. I’m not the one behind it for once, although I did manage my favorite illustrator, Reine Rosenberg, on it. He’s usually very attuned to my wishes, and I think he got it just right.

What do you think?

Expect more on the Orn project during the coming days. It’s coming along nicely, and will an ongoing topic on this blog.
