    About this series

    Ondinium stands on the brink of war...

    Love and duty collide when Taya is appointed attaché to Ondinium's first exalted ambassador and is soon plunged into a sinister world of secrets and lies.

    After the diplomatic contingent's hasty withdrawal from Mareaux to avoid an international incident, Taya's faith is shaken by a disastrous crash and a tragic murder, which reveals just how much she has to lose. Now, if she's going to fulfill her duty to her nation, she must risk everything she cares about. As the winds of war whip around Ondinium's borders, Taya's metal wings must bear her through storms, gunfire, and explosions as she fights to save them not only from their enemies, but also from their own government—a government that regards them as nothing more than clockwork cogs in a ruthless political machine.

    Books in the Trilogy:

    - Clockwork Heart
    - Clockwork Lies: Iron Wind
    - Clockwork Secrets: Heavy Fire

      Flight is freedom, but death hangs in the skies... Taya soars over Ondinium on metal wings. She is an icarus, a courier privileged to travel freely across the city's sectors and mingle indiscriminately amongst its castes. But even she cannot outfly the web of terrorism, loyalty, murder, and intrigue that snares her after a daring mid-air rescue. Taya finds herself entangled with the Forlore brothers, scions of an upperclass family: handsome, brilliant Alister, who sits on Ondinium's governing council and writes programs for the Great Engine; and awkward, sharptongued Cristof, who has exiled himself from his caste and repairs clocks in the lowest sector of the city. Both hide dangerous secrets, in the city that beats to the ticking of a clockwork heart.

      The Debate Stage Reveals Character, Preparation and the Candidate Who Is Still a Child

      Oct 1, 2016

      I PREPARED FOR THE FIRST CLINTON-TRUMP DEBATE BY watching Citizen Soldier, a riveting documentary about the Oklahoma Army National Guard in combat in Afghanistan—and by not watching any of the pregame commentary by the talking heads. I wanted to see the debate with those young men in my mind: mechanics, oil-field technicians, cops and even a marketing executive, who chose to serve their country in a combat hellhole. I did it because the most important quality of a Commander in Chief is the sobriety to make life-and-death decisions, rather than the ability to bluster and zing. I had doubts abo
