Clocking Out

by Craig P. Kelly

Jack and Joe, Scunchester's third best private detectives, accidentally stole a time machine and since then business has been booming. Well, alright, perhaps not booming but they've at least been able to make ends meet. To be honest, the bottom had fallen out of the detecting business so they'd branched out as amateur archaeologists. Hired by Scunchester's premier dirt-scraper Xavier Hunt, the brothers use their time machine to get hold of the pick of historical artefacts direct from the source without having to do any of that messy digging. So when Hunt challenges them to recover the fabled sword Excalibur from the mythical King Arthur, what could go wrong? The just about everything. Follow our heroes as they steal, lie and cheat their way through history. In the meantime, Alyssa's life is in grave danger, two old men really want their time machine back and a robot with a headache is having an identity crisis. It'll all make sense by book three... Clocking Out is the much delayed sequel to Craig P. Kelly's first book Time Gentlemen. He may have ignored some loose ends and imagines he'll be getting letters about this.

About the author

Craig P. Kelly has written three comedy time travel novels but lives in the hope that his future self will send him some more. He has also strayed into the realms of space opera - his latest book is Darkness of the Void, an epic space adventure.

Craig is currently employed as a 'man of leisure'. This is more time consuming than you might imagine, but he tries to find the opportunity to 'do some writing' in and amongst the many spurious activities that sap away the day.

Craig can be coaxed out of the house with the promise of a geocache and will, when pressed, dabble in amateur theatre. He also occasionally chases a spherical piece of leather around in the name of keep-fit. Sometimes he isn't injured. But not often.

Craig is from the north of England but is currently living in Abu Dhabi.

You can support Craig by reviewing his books (please), liking him on Facebook (www.facebook.com/craigpkelly) or following him on Twitter (@CraigPKelly). Ideally you can do all three - that'd really make his day. You can visit his website at www.craigpkelly.co.uk which he may or may not have updated recently.
