But, as anyone who lives in the Gnome town of Hubintegler can tell you, things have a way of exploding when least expected. In a flash, Gappy's life flips upside down, leaving him to make the decision to either strike out on his own or become a 42-year-old foster child. Gappy leaves Hubintegler's rules and regulations behind as he seeks to make his mark in the seedy town of Planoontik. His plan is to set up a shop that will fund his ability to build a flying machine he's calling a "Whirligig," but Planoontik is turning out to be a harsh mistress (not that kind) and Gappy has a limited budget to literally get things off the ground. Along with his assistant, an Orc by the name of Shrit, Gappy fights through the red tape of starting and running a business, deals with the local Halfia (the Halfling Mafia), and battles the only competition in town. The worst part is that his only competitor is a fellow Gnome. And she's not only conniving, cold, and ruthless... she's also dreamy.

INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR: Q: What makes the Tales From the Land of Ononokin series special? A: I had just finished watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy and was thinking how much fun it would be to create a fantasy world of my own that brought in a very strange mix of our present-day cultures and those of the Middle Ages. I also wanted to alter the myths regarding standard fantasy races around a bit. I essentially turn normal fantasy on its head wherever possible, and it makes each book a laugh-out-loud blast. Q: What order should the books be read in?
