From the bestselling author of “Away From Here” comes an exciting new series! The Wordsmith Chronicles follows the trials and triumphs of a group of young, aspiring writers as they try to navigate the worlds of indie publishing, their personal lives, and staying relevant in an ever changing field. REVIEW BLURBS:“Knight’s story is about forgiveness, reflection and pursuing your dreams even if you … dreams even if you have lost all hope and feel like giving up.”
“I was hooked from page 1 till the end. I read it in one sitting.”
“My favorite thing about Knight by Christopher Harlan was the Wordsmiths. In the midst of the bro era, it was refreshing to see men that were so…. real. They are grown up & mature with serious goals, ambition & accomplishments but still manage to keep an air of playfulness to them. They aren’t your stereotypical nerds, nor your stereotypical tough guys.”
SUMMARY:
A Wordsmith.
That’s what she called me. Why? Because I could make her feel things with my books that no one else ever could. My name is Michael, but everyone knows me as Knight.
I write the books that you don’t want your family to know you’re reading. The ones whose spines you hold down so that passers by can’t see the cover, the ones you enjoy only in the privacy of your home.
My last book brought two women into my life—the one who broke my heart into a thousand pieces, and the one who may have the power to mend it. Everleigh.
My lingering blank pages needed inspiration, and that’s exactly what she was.
I know two things for certain—that my heart beats only for her, and that my best book is still inside me, if only she can help me pull the words from my wounded heart. I can be the writer that makes her heart pound in her chest. And soon, everyone will read my masterpiece.
I’m a Wordsmith.
Let me tell you my story.

“In this room, she’s not just my lover – she’s my redemption.”
Wow!! What a great start to this series!! I was so sad to read the last installment of Christopher Harlan’s last series, New York City’s Finest, but I was absolutely thrilled to hear that he was starting something new!! This book is an amazing start to his new endeavor!!
Michael Knight is an “Indie” author. Trying to get his name and his books more exposure, he and 2 fellow authors and his best friends, embark on a joint effort to combine their fan bases and hopefully increase all of their reader counts. Joining forces, they form “The Wordsmiths” and arrange for their first signing, where his world was irrevocably changed. Having spent the last year in a self-imposed funk, throwing himself a epic-sized pity party, Knight finds himself both blocked and detached from his writing. Until her. She sparks new life in to both his heart, and his writer’s soul. Is she the key that will unlock not only his creative mind, but his heart as well? Is she his lifeline with which he can pull himself out of the abyss in which he’s been in for the past year?
Everleigh is a fan of Knight’s work. Not just because he’s an amazing author, but because his words touched her. His book spoke to her and gave her the courage to finally change her life and set herself free from the toxic relationship in which she found herself. And now she gets to meet him in person!! Beyond excited to finally be able to speak to him and tell him how much he affected her life, she expected to be nervous. What she didn’t expect were the sparks between them. He’s told her she’s his muse, but she wants to be so much more. Could it be possible?
I love the characters in this book. The way they interact with one another is so realistic, and the dialogue is just what you would think a group of guys would say to one another. Nothing is forced – it’s just…..life. If you’ve read anything else of Christopher’s you know he has a way of bringing his books to life. You feel like you might just run in to Knight, Colton and Grayson on the street or in the supermarket. You feel what they feel, see what they see, and their hopes and fears are your own.
I would highly recommend this one to everyone!!
Knight is the kind of book boyfriend all women fantasize about. Tall, dark and handsome with a sexy body, who is sinfully romantic and always thoughtful. His sexy words create an image of seduction where a woman can feel as if she is the one he is talking about. Where she can experience the passion that she secretly desires in her own life, but has to do without.
Knight’s story is about forgiveness, reflection and pursuing your dreams even if you have lost all hope and feel like giving up. Knight can always rely on his best friends Colton and Grayson to be there for him and their strong friendship is the foundation of their successful writing partnership. He was overwhelmed when Everleigh confided in him that his words helped her gain the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship, because no one had ever told him that before.
Everleigh is Knight’s biggest fan and his words mean more to her than just letters on a page. His book, “Into Your Eyes” is her favorite and she has a dog-eared copy to prove it. His words, which leapt from the pages into her soul, allowed her to grow into the strong woman she was meant to be, and she hopes that someday she can meet him and thank him for changing her life.
“Knight” deserves as many stars as there are in the sky because it is an ingenious storyline, is written from the heart and with every word you read, and page you turn, you want the story to keep going and never end. Christopher Harlan is a passionate and imaginative writer whose story takes us out of our seats and into the lives of the characters, so we too, can share in the magic of his words.
I loved this story. It’s a great start to a series, with lots of good characters. Great storyline… amazing storytelling. Can’t wait to read more.
