    About this ebook

    The third fantasy adventure story in the chronicles of Anthony Delleroe and the magical world of NeverEarth, "The Clockwork Changeling" follows Anthony back to his home at the end of another collegiate year. But this time, he's not alone. His childhood friend, the satyr: Wiste, is joining him on the interstate trip. Just in time for his twentieth birthday, he is reminded of something missing from his childhood; something magical he was given as a gift that never quite returned to NeverEarth.

    All people, all children, have adventures in fantastic, magical worlds of talking animals, living legends, and myth. But all children, eventually, grow up and forget.

    Anthony remembered. Anthony remembered and returned. For the first time, though, a native of NeverEarth has come to have an adventure in his world: a quest to find something that was forgotten and lost long, long ago.

    NeverEarth has come to Earth.

    Sylvan Scott

    I wrote about robots. When I was a kid, my first story was about robots that looked like people: the only survivors of a world-wide nuclear war. What can I say? I grew up in the 70's. Since then I've sculpted all manner of stories about all sorts of topics. Science Fiction and Fantasy still remain favorites of mine and, usually, what I can express in speculative fiction I'd rather not express in other formats. I love short stories and am working on making this writing bug that I've harbored for so many years finally work for me. Here goes nothing.
