The Clockmaker's Son is Now Available on Amazon

Just published and released by Inklings, a division of Dark Ink Press. The Clockmaker's Son, a cross genre horror/romance novel (a Beauty & the Beast take on werewolves/lycanthropes), is available on Amazon beginning today! This is the novel inspired a year ago by Westfield, MA's controversial, but still awesome since what other local city or town has one even remotely similar?, mechanical clock tower. I started several different versions of the book over the summer and into the fall, but scrapped them and started fresh on November first during NaNoWriMo in 2017. The manuscript then sat idle on the dining room table until early March 2018 when I finally decided to proofread it. I hadn't read the novel from beginning to end up to that point and was surprised that it was nearly ready to publish. With Kelly's invaluable help edits and revisions, and the usual cleanup of grammar and punctuation, began and moved along quickly. A meeting with Kate Anderson and Melissa Volker set the wheels in motion to have it published under Dark Ink Press' new imprint, Inklings. It was available in a limited, self-published supply during Articulture2018 as an ARC...and now it's been published and is available to the public!! Advance readers are telling me that they began reading the book and could not stop reading until they were finished. One reader (from a local button club I belong to) devoured the book in one three-hour read-a-thon! Her comment- "Whew! I feel like I just got off a rollercoaster! What a ride! When's your next book coming out?" That's what  makes my heart happy!
