Brief Author Bio:

Devon is a quiet but lovely young woman, with a head full of stories and characters clamoring to get out. Without the outlet of writing she would likely be permanently insane.

Synopsis: The Wondrous Misadventures of Felix Fay: Unexpected Tales from a Purveyor of Fine Timepieces

Felix Fay works in the clock shop that has been in his family since before the 1000 year war. He and the shop are to be found in Neo Thames, capital of England, and subjects under Lady Aleksandria's Plutocratic council. Born to a lower class family, Felix has recently been taken on as the heir to his uncle, Lord Tasse, a wealthy aristocrat who never remarried after the death of his wife.

His cousin, Stieber Kysely, is to inherit the clock shop, but, a problem gambler, he comes to his young cousin for help, having built up a debt he can't repay. Felix agrees to do what he can to help, not knowing Stieber has offered up the clock shop as a means of payment.

Through a series of misadventures and ill advised schemes, the young men find themselves privy to secrets they were never meant to discover. Now they must fight for their lives as they struggle to unravel the secret of the 1000 year war, clear Stieber's debts, and regain possession of the clock shop before it's too late.
