Jeffrey Cook and Katherine Perkins have released a new YA Fantasy, Unchosen, available on Amazon in both e-book and paperback formats.
Unchosen, by Jeffrey Cook and Katherine Perkins, will be officially released on Amazon on October 13, 2017.
Clockwork Dragon is pleased and proud to support Writerpunk Press as they release their fourth anthology of ‘punked classic works today (May 23, 2017). You’ve seen Sound & Fury, Once More Unto the Breach, and Merely This and Nothing More. The newest addition is What We’ve Unlearned: English Class Goes Punk.
As with the previous three anthologies, all profits go to the PAWS animal rescue in Lynnwood, WA. The book includes stories from Jeffrey and Lee. We’ll have it with us at Miscon this weekend!
We’re excited to announce the next installment in Lee’s young adult urban fantasy series, Spirit Knights.
If you’re new to the series, this book has massive spoilers. So massive we can’t offer an excerpt without spoiling something. It all begins in book 1, Girls Can’t Be Knights, an action/adventure story about ghost hunting in Portland and a mentor/apprentice relationship that becomes a father/daughter dynamic.
The series is available in print, ebook, and audiobook. The audiobook for Ghost Is the New Normal releases on March 28th.
If you like books and live anywhere near Olympia, WA, Clockwork Dragon formally invites you to join us for a day celebrating indie authors and their books. July 16, 2016, we’ll bring a mountain of books to the Longhouse at Evergreen State College from 11am – 7pm. Admission is free.
Capital = Olympia is the state capital of Washington
Indie = Indie authors! Some are also traditionally published, but everyone will have at least one indie title
Book = All kinds of books! Not one genre, all the genres we could get our grubby paws on.
Con = A convergence. Of all things indie, book, and awesome.
Bus routes 41 and 48 both go to Evergreen State. Parking is free across the entire campus.
Even if you’re not in Olympia, please share this information so your online friends who are can find it.
The authors of Clockwork Dragon–Jeff, Lee, Lindsay, and Sechin–present our first group anthology. This collection of four stories was constructed around the them of “dragon.” But that alone isn’t enough. And because we can’t do anything the easy way, each story had to be a science fiction tale.
The result? Aliens, genetic modification, superheroes, the past, the future…
…and hope.
Includes a new Maze Beset story and a new Mad Science Institute story.
Available exclusively on Amazon.
Westercon runs July 1-4 this year, in Portland, OR, and it’s swallowed up one of our favorite events, GEARCon. Four of our dragons will be at Westercon this year: Jeffrey, Lee, and Lindsay all have panel appearances.
The team is excited to have three different new releases with us: All’s Fair, Ethereal Entanglements, and Illusive Echoes, all of which were released in the last few weeks and are making their convention debut at Westercon.
Ethereal Entanglements is the third book in Lee’s Spirit Knights series. All’s Fair completes Jeff’s Fair Folk Chronicles with four books. Illusive Echoes is the fourth book in Lee’s The Greatest Sin series, written with Erik Kort. Look us up on the programming grid! Stop by and say hello! We’re looking forward to meeting you.
Ethereal Entanglements is the third installment of Lee’s Spirit Knights young adult series. Now a full Knight, with her dagger and dragon, Claire plunges head-first into doing everything she thinks needs to be done while Justin scrambles to clean up the messes left behind in Backyard Dragons, and some new messes he didn’t expect.
Together with Drew, Claire’s possessed best friend, the trio faces lies and confusion, and steps into a millennia-old feud. The stakes are high with the fate of the world in the balance.
Excerpt:
Claire wanted to memorize every line, but not that angry mouth. The worst she’d ever done as a child had only made him sigh with disappointment. Once, he’d let his features flicker with true anger. That time, he left the house and went for a ride on his horse rather than shout or punish her and her little brother.
She swallowed past the lump in her throat. “It’s not him,” she whispered. But she wanted it to be him as much as she wanted it not to be him. For one more chance to hug him, she would sacrifice anything. Seeing him like this scraped at the scab she’d built inside since his death, letting the hollow, empty feeling bleed out again.
Her father relaxed his stance and lowered his blade. “You have to prove yourself, Pumpkin, or you’ll never really be a Knight.”
Claire squeezed her eyes shut. Everything else faded away and she was ten years old again, holding his hand. “I don’t know how, Daddy. Every time I try–” Hot tears burned her cheeks. “All the Knights say I’m not good enough. Nothing I do here will ever be good enough.”
“You’re not trying, Pumpkin. Never trying always fails.”
She swiped her sleeve across her face, smearing streaks of damp gray dirt across it. Opening her eyes, she stood before her father, ready to let him stab her through the heart. She saw the loose dirt beneath her feet and the green light. Behind her father, Enion moved in slow motion, taking his time to position himself for a stealthy charge from behind.
This thing was not her father. Claire hung her head, ashamed of herself for letting it torture her. She knew better and Caius still got to her. “The Palace is the worst place ever. It’s supposed to be a sanctuary.”
Ethereal Entanglements is now available as a pre-order on Amazon. It releases on June 21. The series begins with Girls Can’t Be Knights.
