Here's some recent feedback on Time's Signature from an actual editor. Reposting it now, during #questpit, in the hope it catches the eyes of a few #litagents.

D29. I've been seriously querying this since October. My thoughts: time travel stories sell, but most seem to have some kind of romantic subplot, where mine is about as unromantic as they come. Trends do change though. 🤞

My WIP. What Leys Below

Strike X Pagans

When a celebrity author builds a Stonehenge replica as a publicity stunt, it activates powerful ley lines, unleashing pagan chaos in uptight, middle-class English towns.

I've spent November querying, though I'm pausing now due to the US seasonal shutdown. I've also made progress on plotting out my WIP using The Snowflake Method (highly recommended), and hope to start writing it soon.

D27. “Corona Virus?” he said, alarmed. “Has someone poisoned the fizzy pop?”

For context, this is 1972 and readers get a sense that time travel shenanigans are in play. The characters, of course, are oblivious.

D25. There’s not much shopping since the story is set at a hotel, so everything is laid on. The MC does go out shopping for a newly published novel though, which is key to a perplexing time mystery in the first act.

Mika and Dominik aren't looking for a connection.
It's Prague. The early 90s. Nothing is permanent. There are no rules.
They're each trying so hard to lose themself - can they find each other?

Aelyn knew better than to try entering that cursed castle, than to risk failing her mother's test. Now she has to face her worst nightmare: Being sent to the only academy where vampires, witches and shifters are taught together.

It can't get worse than that, right?
