The Clockwork Heart

It starts at the detailers, with a client who isn’t quite what she seems. But then neither is the guy the other side of the counter. The two of them form an unlikely alliance in pursuit of an item that has been lost for a century… if it ever existed in the first place.

It’s a clash of creatures with a long history of distrust and very different personalities. On one side is a vampire using modern technology and a long-established network of contacts to uncover a dangerous secret. On the other is a short-tempered werewolf. He's old-school, which she finds testing, but he can work in the daylight.

At the heart of the tale is a remarkable automaton and a gothic mansion owned by a girl who has spent a lifetime looking for revenge.

The Clockwork Heart is a short story. A 90-minute read that’s a whole different take on 'bite'-size. It's the perfect length for a train or plane trip or any time you want a quick jolt of entertainment and can't wait for the drama to unfold.
