The fantasy novel series has already made Jeff Gunhus an Amazon Bestselling author in the Young Adult category. First written to demonstrate to his 11 year old son the joys of reading, Jeff Gunhus has created a memorable world in the Templar Chronicles fantasy novel series. The character of Jack Templar is a 14 year old boy who in a single day before his fourteenth birthday, between leaving for school one morning and returning home, discovers his true identity as a monster hunter. As monsters appear everywhere on his way home from school, Jack meets up with Eva, an experienced monster hunter who informs him of his true identity, and who initiates his training.

The Templar Chronicles has already been recognized by Foreword Reviews as a Book of the Year Finalist, as well as being picked as a finalist for the Next Generation Indie Book Awards and the National Indie Book Award.

Jeff Gunhus is a life-long avid reader. So when his 11 year-old son was found to be strongly opposed to reading any book, Jeff went about creating a method to get his son interested in reading. This method included writing the first book of the Templar Chronicles series. Along with a few other tactics, the methods and success Jeff Gunhus has had making a reader out of his son are chronicled in his book, "Reaching Your Reluctant Reader: How One Dad Helped His Reluctant Reader Son Become An Unstoppable, Avid Reader".
