Watch “The Curious Cogs of Nil” Book trailer on YouTube!
Eleven-year-old Trevor Tate doesn’t want to follow in his jailbird, jerk of a dad’s footsteps, but it’s looking more and more like he has no choice. Everyone already thinks he’s a bully because of his dad. And even worse, no matter how hard he tries, he can’t control his temper so he just keeps proving them right. Trevor’s mom is the only person in the world who believes in him, so when she’s suddenly stolen away by a pair of freaky cybernetic men-in-black, he decides that he has to rescue her no matter what.
But when he follows the momnappers through a portal in the bathtub to the post-apocalyptic city of Nil, Trevor realizes that being a hero is hard work! Especially when you’re used to being a villain. Now he’s caught up in a wicked war between kids and teenagers in a place where the bugs are big enough to ride, adults are a myth, and both sides think he’s some legendary hero named Guts. Trevor just wants to find Mom, not deal with a crazy war in another world. But when the teens mess with his sisters, it all gets way more personal than he ever dreamed.

Thank you.
It’s always so nice to hear from a fan! Book 2 will hopefully be out soon. I’ll make sure and keep you updated.

I’m only half way through “The Crow’s Nest” and I’m hooked!! I need the second book now! I keep getting into trouble at school because I keep reading it instead of doing my lessons
So far my favorite character is Tabitha/Glory. Thanks for the book.

Hi Rachel! Thank you very much for letting me know that you like my book.
Tabitha is an interesting character; Book 2 centers a lot more on her and less on Trevor. I hope to have it ready soon, though I don’t want to rush it. But you’ll be one of the first to know when it’s ready!
