Times were turbulent in the town of Sagecup. The gnome's magical net of invisibility snagged, and punctured a hole in the fabric of their once simple society.

The blue moon was due to pass on its 300-year round trip, offering the only window through which the ceremony of Mystical Invisibilitation may be performed.

Arch-wise gnome Sometimes Eatalot chose a fine time to get kidnapped. As a result, semi-wise gnome and second in command Fatticat Largeone had to be physically thrust into the position of T.B.G.A.T (The Big Guy Around Town).

'There's nothing to it,' they said - moments before the ceremony took a nauseous twist.

What are the odds that the survival of the gnome species would balance precariously on a knife-edge due to this simple twist of fate?

The gnomes were frightened.

The Gods were frustrated.

The witches of Cradles Edge were furious.

The King of terds was hungry. He licked his lips in anticipation of a long overdue feast of gnome.

It's all about to go horribly wrong for someone. But when 1000 gnomes put their heads together, something big is always going to happen. Apart from the usual lumps, and bruises, something did…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Norm Gillam resides in a quiet suburb of Perth, Western Australia. He lives with a wonderful lady, 2 bloody cats, and incessant squeaky floorboards.
Early in his working life he discovered that fiction writing was by far a more satisfying career than digging ditches. Unfortunately, he also discovered that being an unknown fiction writer paid the bills somewhat less efficiently than a ditch digger.

He began as a technical report writer, then found poking himself in the eye with a blunt stick a somewhat more satisfying undertaking. He fell face first into writing humorous adult fantasy. It was to become his passion, as it provided the perfect platform to take a shot at the absurdities of life. He also writes along a similar theme for young children, and obviously minus the naughty bits.

The dream is that his brand of humor might help to spread around a few sorely needed chuckles, in light of the current disturbing world situation.
