But a rivalry between two tinkers threatens to destroy the world they're trying to free. Cadmus Errol is the greatest inventor that Tellurak has ever known. His clockwork graces the spires of cities across the world. Yet in another, darker world, he lives the life of a slave. There, humanity is held underfoot, bound in service to the victors of a war fought untold generations ago. It will take all the wits and resources of the best that humanity can muster to break that hold. Can Cadmus Errol, the Mad Tinker, be the one to free them all? Or will his daughter take a shortcut through dangerous science to wipe out humanities oppressors? Interview with the Author Q – So, what made you decide to write the Mad Tinker Chronicles? A – My background is mechanical engineering. That was my day job before I switched to writing full time. A lot of fictional technology has always rubbed me the wrong way. I’m willing to buy into magic and lost scientific knowledge, but beyond that many still trample over basic physics and engineering. I wanted to write a series filled with technological marvels that used magic, but which didn’t simply ignore physics and engineering otherwise. I wrote the Mad Tinker Chronicles as a fantasy engineer. Magic does what magic does, and physics takes care of the rest. From artificial limbs to electromagnetic guns, the basic principles underlying the inventions are sound. Q – Just what genre is this, anyway? A – The Mad Tinker Chronicles is straight-up epic fantasy set in a steampunk-friendly world. The inventions and technological sophistication are reminiscent of the early 20th century, but the world is entirely fantastical. Q – So, why should readers give these books a try? A – The Mad Tinker Chronicles is a fast-paced, far-flung, multi-point-of-view epic fantasy, and it’s not for the faint of heart. These books will force the reader to think along with the characters as they try to outwit, out-plan, and out-invent each other. less
