The Author
Dr Penny Clauss known as P.Clauss in the writing fraternity, is a veterinary surgeon from Dallas, Texas. As a child she loved reading books, so much so she would create stories in her head but keep them there, thinking that no one would be interested in her tales. How wrong she was. It wasn’t until years later that with encouragement from her husband David, a clockwork master, that she finally plucked up the courage to publish her writings. Let’s just say thank goodness she did, for her books are beautifully manuscripted with intriguing and at times spine-tingling thoughts and storylines. Penny has dipped her toe into various genres from illustrated children’s books to Christian Devotionals and lately Sci-Fi and dark fantasy.

The Books
Cat Hunters
This stunning exhilarating book I found gripping from start to finish, the forty-four chapters all pack powerful punches as the story reveals itself. The plot is set in bygone times with the fall of mankind when a great technological civilization folded, those that remain turn to non-human predators led by Cat-kind in order to survive. Humans no longer hunts cats, but hunts with them instead just to exist. Five unequivocal tribes co-exist, but to ensure peace is maintained between the tribes and that lands and resources are fairly apportioned the Hunter Tribe system is configured. Each of the five tribes has a spiritual leader elected to the Council of Spirits, for the Cat Hunters this is Kilala a young woman whose past has shown a deep bond with all cat-kind coupled with a strong ability to command the Sentinels. Despite her strong credentials for the role ahead of her Kilala still needs the support of a strong mentor to ensure she delivers due diligence with the powers she has acquired, as those powers are unknown and untested. Kilala has friends but equally she has treacherous enemies to contend with, enemies who are eager to see the Hunter Tribe system destroyed with the sole purpose of keeping autonomous ruling power for themselves. Can Kilala save the tribes from the reign of chaos and upheaval so that all who live in the Land of Ritigabid can do so peacefully. The other Hunter tribes are Dog, Bear, Eagle and Snake.
What a riveting book.
The Cloud Rider series
These books exist in a world far into the galaxy among ancient barriers of toxic clouds.
The Underlands Revealed- Book 1
In a world far into the galaxy, are two lands divided by an ancient barrier of toxic clouds, the Overlands and the Underlands. Centuries have passed since the genesis of the toxic cloud layer. The overlanders have no concept or knowledge of those beneath the clouds as the Underlanders struggle to live in a land of shadow and poison. An ancient prophecy told of a Reunitor that would be given the means and comprehension to free the lands of the toxic barrier and reunite the people would be gratified. Ka’star is a reckless narcissist young prince from one of the Overland Mountain top Kingdoms. Faced with an unexpected change to his life Ka’star finds himself in the Underlands with no way back to his kingdom. After struggling to adjust to his new life he realises he has a destiny beyond anything he had ever dreamed. Ailyean, the prophetess of the Underlands believes that the Reunitor has come, but when Ka’star is revealed as the Reunitor she’s baffled as to the creator’s choice, nevertheless she’s determined to see the prophecy of the reunification of the people and the lands fulfilled as had previously been foretold.
The Overlands Visited – Book 2
From the Overlands Mountain top Kingdoms to the clans of the Underlands, the pieces for an ancient power scattered throughout the Lands are brought together to fulfil the centuries old prophecy. Ka’star and Ailyean, along with their companions, are poised to complete their destiny. But a shadow hovers over their impending victory as both Ka’star and Ailyean find that their places of birth have been betrayed and their people oppressed. They come to realize that powers are in motion to threaten the anticipated joy of the removal of an ancient barrier and the freedom of the newly reunited land.
Mysteries Revealed – Book 3
The toxic cloud barrier has gone, the people of the Overlands and the Underlands are free to reunite. But not if the destroyer has his way. Determined to prevent reunification, he unleashes an evil arsenal…
War is on the Horizon, confusion intensifies, some of the Overlander Kingdoms are ready to invade the Underlander’s lands who are ill-prepared, doubts swirl around Ka ’star’s authenticity as the Reunitor as fresh Overlander claims immerge re the legitimacy of another Reunitor being the bona fide Reunitor. Old mysteries are answered but fresh ones appear, will the two lands reunite in this epic concluding finale of the Cloud Riders series, or has Dr Penny allowed herself enough wriggle room to write book 4 of this breath-taking and perplexing series.
