As Victoria and Romney prepare for a tranquil Christmas in the village of Little Cookham, they remain blissfully unaware of the extraordinary journey that lies ahead. Viktor is certain that an enigmatic presence lurks around the local orphanage, setting off a chain of events that will draw them all into a perilous escapade once more. Amidst the backdrop of a Victorian steampunk world, infused with a delightful touch of wit, "A Very Clockwork Christmas" emerges as the newest instalment in the thrilling steampunk chronicles of Victoria and Romney. This festive steampunk tale also now includes the introduction and the first two chapters of "Welcome to the Rook: Book One", a brand-new series.
Autorentext
Ex-drummer, Ex-software author and Ex-flares wearer Michael White was born and lives in the northwest of England. In a previous life he was the author of many text adventure games that were popular in the early 1980's. Realising that the creation of these games was in itself a form of writing he has since made the move into self-publishing, resulting in many short stories and novellas. Covering an eclectic range of subjects, the stories fall increasingly into that "difficult to categorise" genre, causing on-going headaches for the marketing department of his one man publishing company, Eighth Day Publishing. Having accidentally sacked his marketing director (himself) three times in the last two years, he has now retired to a nice comfortable room where, if he behaves himself, they leave him to write in peace. In his spare time (!) Michael likes to listen to all kinds of music, and is a big fan of Steven Moffat, whether he likes it or not. Michael is currently working on several new projects and can be contacted on my own website at http://mikewhiteauthor.wordpress.com or via twitter on @mikewhiteauthor
