Knights Templar. Blog-Post Oriented Approach

I intend to make my book a genuinely comprehensive story of Knights Templar – because no other book is, not even close (and anything other than comprehensive has a very limited value). Hence, I have to provide my reader with a lot of information. A lot. Consequently, my book will be inevitably quite long.

250 facts at 2,000 words per fact – my rough estimate for the size of this book equals 500,000 words. Roughly the size of War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy – or Les Miserables by Victor Hugo.

Obviously, a non-fiction book that size (fiction is a different story entirely) can sooner or later become… well, boring. Which I can not afford – this book is popular history, not an “academic” one.

Another important consideration is that readers worldwide years ago got accustomed to reading blog posts and social media posts with each post being no more than 2500 words long and telling a complete story.

Consequently, to prevent this book from being boring, I decided to break it down into 250 “blog posts” with each “post” telling a complete story (a separate fact about Knights Templar) and all stories together making a coherent, comprehensive narrative – the highly dramatic story of Knights Templar.

Due to its “blog post” structure, you can start reading the book pretty much anywhere and still obtain valuable knowledge. However, if you want to get a comprehensive picture of Knights Templar and their story – and I hope you do – I strongly suggest that you read it cover to cover – from the beginning to the end.
