The Door Is Open

The Inn That Arrived at Dusk is here.

Bram Alderidge has been waiting a long time for someone to walk through that door—three weeks since his predecessor’s death, forty-two years since his last ordinary day, and if you ask Tilda, considerably longer than that. She has opinions about promptness. She has opinions about most things.

The first book in The Clockwork Inn at the Edge of the Map is now available in both ebook and paperback. If you’d rather read on your own schedule with no waiting list, the ebook is free with Kindle Unlimited. If you’re the sort of person who likes a book you can hold, set on a nightstand, and press into a friend’s hands later, the paperback is ready for that, too.

A quick word about what you’ll find inside: this is not a book about grand battles or ancient prophecies. It is a book about a tired man, a judgmental clockwork mule, a ghost who insists she is only supervising, and the particular kind of courage it takes to let someone else’s trouble become your problem for a night. If that sounds like your kind of story, I think you’ll feel at home here.

Copper chose this door. I hope you’ll walk through it too.
