Wineriver's Clock
H.L. Chandler
| |
King Rupert of Rovatha would not know Del Hobin, the tower clock keeper in Wineriver, if he stumbled over him.
Del is one of Rupert’s faceless subjects in a village starving because of Rupert’s demands to support his war against a rival king. Del and his wife lost a son to the senseless war. Now their daughter, Myla, is joining a rebel band in an effort to overthrow both kings.
The forest Elves usually avoids contact with the less advanced humans, but the war is destroying their homes, too. It forces the fairy folk to take part in defense of the land. Their methods are different from those of the humans, but Del Hobin holds a secret that rivals even Elfin magic.
The tower clock has a strange ability that could put an end to the war, but Del is reluctant to use it for fear of the unknown consequences. Until now Del’s responsibility was to keep the clock’s secret.
The war and the appearance of Mick, an arrogant Elf, make it impossible. Leaving him to choose between accepting advice from a being he never knew existed or risk using Wineriver’s Clock on his own.

I brainstormed what-if questions and developed this idea: Forensic knowledge puts one pathologist (Ridge Warner) high on sought-after expert lists, with a twist—a special ops leader recruits and trains him (before the story opens) for a specific mission.
The ability his fiancé Angel Meade possesses, kept secret from most who know her, lifts her status beyond the norm. Her genetic makeup triggers magnetism in proximity to electronics. A federal agency retains her services to locate explosives equipped with electronic devices.
This provides a perfect façade and personifies the life she wants in pursuit of a second Olympic gold medal and upcoming marriage to Ridge.
The story expanded beyond one book and led to me writing a sequel.

This story started when I repaired a mantel clock. The clock is about sixty years old and had long since lost its ability to chime. The springs were broken, but it could still keep time. Until the day the winding spring for that function broke!
I investigated clock repair services and found they are expensive. I saw ads for mechanical clock parts. Ah ha, I thought. Maybe I can do this. I read repair manuals and finally felt ready to remove the back of the clock. When the clockwork was exposed, I was amazed. It was beautiful. The metal structure was a pale copper color, the gears meshed with precision, and the balanced little hammers that struck the bars were a work of art.
I was in awe of this mechanism. However, and perhaps disappointing, I found replacing it more of a challenge than I could handle. Therefore, I opted for a battery system. From the front clock face, you’d not know because the battery-powered works keep time just fine, and the chime sounds all right. I kept the mechanical works because they are fascinating and look like a metal sculpture. Clocks and time struck a chord in my imagination and before long, a clock became the mainspring to a story.
If a clock can chime and keep time—what else might it do? Perhaps something like the tower clock in Wineriver’s Clock.
