The Gutterhaven Gambit

William thought he was just chasing scruffy fairies out of the potato patch. How was he supposed to know it would trigger divine crises, political conspiracies, and possibly even the collapse of democracy itself?

Penelope, a clocksmith's apprentice, and her friend Quizzik Ticktocksmith certainly didn't anticipate their fates getting tangled with eccentric wizards obsessed with ice cream, forgotten gods desperate for attention, or ambitious Presidents stumbling into mysteries beyond their imagination.

As Middlewinter Fest approaches, heroes rise-or at least stumble awkwardly-into action. Will Gutterhaven survive the chaos, or is everyone just worried about the Tooth-Fairy's peace of mind?

Dive in. Laugh. Worry slightly. This might just be the humorous fantasy you've been waiting for.

Barry Blitzworth writes fantasy-with a humorous twist. His storytelling reveals a clear fondness for the literary traditions of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and perhaps even P.G. Wodehouse. While Blitzworth wouldn't dare suggest he dips his pen in the same inkwell as these greats, readers familiar with their works may recognize a comforting spark.

Originally published as Frosted Cogs of Fall (Book I) and Winter's Fold (Book II), The Gutterhaven Gambit is now seamlessly united in a single volume, filled with comic misadventures and unexpected heroics.

Beneath Blitzworth's playful narrative lie deeper existential questions familiar to us all: Why are we here? Did I have toast or eggs and bacon for breakfast yesterday? Should I actually read the user manual for that new gadget? And indeed, why am I still reading this introduction instead of diving straight into the story itself?
