Chronically Unpunctual

Chronically Unpunctual
A Casper Jolly Novella

Penelope Clarke has always been late-late to school, late to work, late to everything. But when she discovers her chronic unpunctuality is actually a temporal anomaly, she's thrust into the bewildering halls of the Bureau of Temporal Consistency... where her disorder isn't just inconvenient.

It's dangerous.

Suddenly Penny is navigating misplaced time-stamps, stubborn cosmic paperwork, and a glowing orb that speaks only in poetic haiku. With her new companions-Tick, the nervous time clerk; Chronos, the Bureau's overly literal supervisor; and a centurion who really shouldn't be here-Penny must figure out why her life is always running seven minutes behind.

And more importantly:

What happens when the universe finally decides it's had enough?

Heartfelt, hilarious, and filled with bureaucratic absurdity, Chronically Unpunctual is a cozy fantasy-comedy about embracing imperfection, rewriting expectations, and discovering that sometimes being out of sync is exactly what makes you extraordinary.

Fans of Travis Baldree, T. Kingfisher, and Jasper Fforde will feel right at home.
