D13. My boss dislikes my attitude and won't promote me, my girlfriend berates me for shagging around, though she's doing the same thing, and my partner thinks I'm a lunatic. Life is great! Love and kisses, Eddie. XXX

When an intelligence agent is framed for the UK's role in a temporal disaster, he must clear his name and seal a lethal time rift - before a Russian spy from the future gets everyone killed.

I'm somewhat surprised to report that my entry was drawn for #RevPit #10Queries, since I usually have zero luck with anything involving chance. I'm well chuffed though, and can't wait to see the feedback. Big thanks to the RevPit crew for giving us this amazing opportunity. You guys rock!

D9. I'm Amy Hobbs. There's a new bloke at work called Eddie and he's dead sexy. Plenty of other girls feel the same, though the fellers don't like him much. I got in first so tough luck ladies. First come first served.

The MCs come to the village to exploit the "interesting" things they've read about for clicks/online profit. Of course when everything goes to shit it becomes personal - about self preservation, each other, and surviving a hostile environment.

D7. Eddie here. Where do I start? A two week old book that looks 50 years old, a campsite nobody but me can see, and don't even get me started on those weird sounds and smells. Am I losing my bloody marbles or what?

In a village full of secrets, two of my MCs can see their friend/colleague, someone they don't particularly care for, being drawn into something creepy and sinister. They must decide how to rescue her, if indeed they want to rescue her at all...

D5. I'm Alan Dent, quantum physicist and the best scientific mind of my generation. I've been sent from 1997 to 1972 to complete a very important mission. I daren't tell you what it is though, my masters would kill me.

I'm planning three MCs, all friends but with underlying resentments. I like the '3' dynamic as alliances will always be unbalanced. I'm thinking probably two POV MCs, each with a differering take on what's going on with the third character.

By showing fear in real time, and the debilitating effect it has on people, especially the MC who suffers from undiagnosed PTSD. He's a tough guy on the outside, but inside he's often a terrified mess.

The story was inspired by a real place - Branscombe Bay in Devon. We drove in one year and every house had a scarecrow figure outside. Scarecrow festivals are a thing, but have no basis in pagan traditions. I thought, "but what if they do...?"
