Final Edits Clockwork Constellation: Crocodile Cult

I am going through the edits for Clockwork Constellation: Crocodile Cult. It’s been two months since looking at a single page. Often I find myself wondering “who wrote that? It’s pretty good.” Other times the editors red marks remind me, “oh yes, that was me who made that mess.”

Here are two passages I thought were pretty good, and I hope you will enjoy finding them when you read this book arriving March 8, 2026.

---

"Power without purpose is destruction. And destruction without control is death, for yourself and for those around you."

Compelling? Or this…

"She'd spent her life building things to keep time, to measure it, to control it. But some things, some people, couldn't be measured in distance or seconds. They could only be felt, in the emptiness of the space they left behind, the warmth they offered to dispel loneliness, or the unspoken knowing of exchanged glances."

This passage has a lovely lyrical quality and explores a profound contrast between the mechanical precision of timekeeping and the immeasurable nature of human connection and loss. Worth the read. I hope you purchase the book and tell me in your review.
