The Lost Crown of Colonnade
The Lost Crown of Colonnade is about overcoming almost impossible odds and limitations. It’s about the importance of friendships, love and faith in helping us deal with the struggles of life. The battle between good and evil comes into clear view in the conflict of the land of Colonnade and the desolate land of Necrus.
At the beginning of the story we meet Davey Johnsen, who is almost fifteen-years-old. Unfortunately, he has lived the past 8 years of his life unable to walk without the support of braces. In his parent’s “mini-mansion” in Southeastern Connecticut, he spends time creating and living out fantasies on his giant computer screen and deep within his thoughts.
With the push of one purple button he finds himself transported to a very different world. His arrival is viewed by the residents of Colonnade as a fulfillment of a centuries-old prophecy. If he accepts that message, then he is faced with a daunting task, one he feels very poorly prepared to attempt.
An aging Inn-Keeper, a middle-aged Army sergeant, a Captain of the Guard, a young cook, a talking, 700 pound bear and the beautiful princess of the land become his close friends. Together they form the band of seven who accept the challenge to regain the lost crown.
While they travel under great secrecy into the land of Necrus, the Regent of Colonnade and his vastly outnumbered army create a diversion by attacking the evil land’s outer defenses. All hope lies with the little band finding its way through the desolate land ruled over by the King of Necrus, himself merely an under-lord in the service of Dagron, the Lord of All Evil.

About the Author

Kenneth G. Winters
I was born in Elmhurst, Queens, NY in 1950; graduated from Farmingdale High School, Farmingdale, NY, in 1968; from Houghton College, Houghton NY, in 1972, and I received a Master of Divinity Degree in 1976 from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in S. Hamilton, MA. I met my wife, Connie, during my sophomore year of college and we were joined in marriage on August 19, 1972. We have two grown daughters, Laura and Emily. Emily is engaged to Matt Gibeault and they live in Norwich, CT. Laura is married to Bernie Salvaggio. They have a five-year-old son, our only grandchild, a red-headed, blue-eyed bundle of energy.
After seminary, I served at the Trinitarian Congregational Church in Troy, NH, working with my mentor, Pastor Christian. In October, 1976 I accepted a full-time call as Youth Pastor at the First Congregational Church of N. Brookfield, MA. While serving there I founded a teen Christian music group called “True Direction.” We sang throughout the country and recorded an Album in 1981.
I served there until 1984, when I received a commission from the US Navy Chaplain Corps. In the 20 years that followed, I served with Seabees, Marines, Surface and Submarine Fleets. Thanks to the Navy, I had the privilege of “seeing the world.”
At my Navy retirement ceremony in 2004 the pastor of our former church, invited me to return as Associate Pastor. So, after 20 years in the Navy, we returned to our “homeport” in Massachusetts. Since then I have served in that capacity, leading a variety of ministries.
I keep busy with my denomination, the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference (CCCC), the Military Officers Association and the American Legion.
For years I ran for fun and competition. As I’ve grown a little older, I’ve pretty much replaced running with hiking, kayaking and biking. They are a lot easier on my knees and they rhyme too! Other interests include Christian music, collecting old books and, obviously, writing.
