Enter the Clockpunk Wizard World of Old Bony Blue Eyes
Award-winning author Lita Burke talks about fantasy worlds.

What is Steampunk?
Hello, I am Lita Burke, a fantasy and Clockpunk author. The popular Steampunk genre takes place in the late 1800s where electricity never evolved beyond a curiosity in a circus act. Mechanical gizmos are powered by steam in a gritty dystopia where the fashion is corsets, top hats, and tailcoats. Steampunk’s most popular visual icon is welder goggles.

Corsets
Top Hats
Welder Goggles

What is Clockpunk?
Clockpunk is the gentler cousin of Steampunk. These stories are set much earlier in the 1600s, where renaissance thinking is in full bloom. The technology is Leonardo da Vinci, and mechanisms are powered by clockworks instead of steam. Clockpunk’s most popular visual icon is the mechanical man.

What is Clockpunk Wizard?
The Clockpunk Wizard world is my own creation. It mixes Clockpunk with the traditional fantasy elements of spell-casting magic, fairies, and dragons. They live in plate-shaped ocean world where islands float above the sea. Our hero is Kadmeion, a young wizard recently graduated from the university. He runs a wizard-for-hire business from his airship.

Floating Islands
Fairies

What Happens in Old Bony Blue Eyes?
In my Clockpunk Wizard story Old Bony Blue Eyes, a dragon named Lady Betrayal commissions Kadmeion to fetch the book Dragonlore. Getting onto Old Bony’s island is easy. The problem is returning alive. Wizards have two options: winning a game of dice against Death, or fighting their way off the island using magic. Even with Luck and War helping, Kadmeion might not succeed. Old Bony’s blue eyes might be the last thing our wizard ever sees.

Back cover blurb for Tredan's Bane:
A magician's ghost warns Lanith about fire and kisses. Fire for endings. Kisses for magical power like she's never tasted before.

Lanith and her husband Tredan, magical curio merchants in the seaside town of Isor, have a quiet life—until the day Lanith meets the ghost. She rushes home to find their store on fire and Tredan gone. Keeping a promise to Tredan to seek help if he ever went missing, Lanith teams up with Enchanter Nyle. The reclusive Enchanters are so attractive, the Church declares them a danger to a person's soul. The warnings are valid—before Nyle will help her, she must taste his magical essence with a kiss. It is a revelation shattering everything she knows about magic.

They discover Tredan is not what he seems. For years a Church spell compelled him to write a secret journal with magic that will ruin the Enchanters. Enchanter essence powers everything in their world. Without it, many will die from lack of magic to nourish their bodies, fuel their machines, and even make the water flow.

Now a Church magician has come to Isor and he will stop at nothing to acquire Tredan's journal. Lanith has to keep him from getting the journal and enslaving the Enchanters. In addition, she must conquer her desire for Nyle and his delectable magic before it sullies her marriage vows and damns her soul.

A retired Enchanter battles a powerful magician to keep a dangerous spell book from falling in to the wrong hands.

Back cover blurb for Wrath:
A charm hidden in a shipping box brings Tredan's disgraceful past to his door.

Retired Enchanter Tredan and his wife Lanith, magical curio merchants in the seaside town of Isor, have been model citizens for years. But Tredan has harbored a terrible secret. As the victim of a Church-induced spell, he created a journal with spells to enslave the Enchanters' magical essence to the Church.

Enchanters generate the essence powering everything in Tredan's world. The Church has long resented the Enchanters' exclusive control over essence. The head Church magician, His Divine, is determined to acquire Tredan's journal and take the Enchanters' power for his own.

With Lanith out on an errand for the morning, Tredan opens the box containing an Enforcer's compulsion charm. This Church magician will stop at nothing to collect Tredan's journal for His Divine. The ensnared Tredan must battle the Enforcer's superior magic and keep the journal safe. Tredan must also find a way, even if he must enlist the help of the dead, to warn an unsuspecting Lanith before she returns home and falls prey to His Divine's wrath.
