You may remember a few years ago when I wrote this novel about a gnome who solves a murder mystery and then I shopped it around to agents and editors. Yes? No? The feedback was mostly "I like it but don't think I can sell it." Fast forward to now. I've self published 3 kid's books, and the self-publishing ebook market is much stronger than back in 2008. So I've decided to dust off the old book and publish it. Please take a look, buy it, read it, share it, write and Amazon review, and all that good stuff. I would greatly appreciate it.

If you like my writing and rp style, you'll probably like it. It is a murder mystery set in a fantasy world, so it is sorta like an urban fantasy, but not set in the real world. Also, no vampires. Here is the blurb:
Zook Terpin, gnome alchemist, spent years crawling through dungeons, battling hordes of goblins, and slaying dragons, but that was a long time ago. Since then, he sold his loot and started an alchemy business. All he wanted was to enjoy the comfortable city life that consisted of tutoring his apprentice and drinking ale with his friends. But in a city where steam-driven machines give power to the common people, and technologists are despised by everyone from the arcane magi to the Labor Guild to the Spiritual Collective, settling down isn't as relaxing as Zook expected.
Zook's peaceful retirement ends when his former lover, Nerni Hodgewinkle, asks him to look into the death of her husband, a famous clockwork inventor. How can Zook refuse to help a friend in need? And having an excuse to relive his glory days--well, that makes the decision all the easier. But before he can find the killer and then celebrate his success, Nerni disappears. Zook learns that discovering the identity of the killer will only make life more complicated and dangerous.
Thanks!
