The Clock Chronicle is prompted by a love of history, religion, stories, interest in ancient religious order such as the Knight Templars, and the magic found in folktales. This novel is a three-century journey which begins in the Enlightenment Era and extends to European, Middle East, and American history through the early twenty-first century. This novel is about the first pendulum clock on the planet. It is more than that, and here you will find the magic of The Clock Chronicle. "Clock," as he is known, is sentient and can see, hear, listen, learn, and remember so long as his pendulum remains uninterrupted. Clock, in effect, narrates those parts of the novel where he is particularly involved. In short order, you will overlook the incongruity of a sentient clock as this naive little fellow matures, learns, forms opinions, and finds it can dare to hope, care, and love. The Clock Chronicle touches on the Medieval Period and two ancient Catholic Orders whose histories have a connection and a bearing on Clock's journey which would not begin until nearly six centuries later. Clock arrived in the Enlightenment Era and a time when the Catholic Church was locked in a debate with science and scientists who discovered truths which conflicted with the Church's views. This global Enlightenment Period was both exciting and fearful. If scientific truth conflicted with the Church, the scientists involved in the discovery were subject to a visit from Spanish Inquisitors and representatives of the Church. Clock saw the birth of America. He learned about the kidnapping, sale, and enslaving of Africans. He witnessed piracy at sea. Being owned by a host of "Masters," Clock meets many historical characters leading to extraordinary experiences which only three centuries of existence make possible. The final chapters of this novel will knit together questions that both the reader and a naïve sentient clock could not answer earlier.
