Tinkering with the Heart

Tinkering with the Heart

Written by H. Hastohmuff

Before his voyage to Hardholme, Gnord never thought anything could fill his heart more than his inventions. But when a glamourous local walks into his life, he finds himself on a mine-cart of unexpected emotions the likes of which he’s never been prepared for. Will Gnord find a way to follow through in his feelings for the intelligent, mysterious Anea, or will his inexperience with affairs of the heart throw a wrench into the works?

Excerpt:

“Gnord gathered his wits about him, going over the words in his head for the hundredth time. This time she would know of his love. As he turned the corner, with a dashing smile and the confidence of a racing Strider in the lead, he caught sight of her. He stopped dead in his tracks. There she was, the beautiful Anea, holding hands with another man and laughing. His heart sank. The pit of his stomach dropped with it, both of them seemingly hitting the ground at once. He ran then, before the sound of his oncoming sobs could be heard by either of the merry couple’s ears.”
