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.
D11. In a sense. There are a couple of short-duration jaunts through time where the start time in the 'real' world is substantially different to the end time. Essentially, the effected characters lose minutes/hours.

This is early 1970s Britain, so burgers aren't yet in the national cuisine. A good old fry up certainly is though.

Battle Bonfire Parade is spectacular. It's great to see so many people celebrating the wild, primeval, pagan, elemental side of British history. There's also a huge bonfire and effigy burning - something sadly absent from most modern Guy Fawkes celebrations.

D9. I wouldn't call any of it strange, but anybody checking the browsing history might wonder about weapon ordnances and methods of torture, mixed up with time travel paradoxes and physics.

D8. I'm no villain - I'm just following orders. If I don't, the bastards who blackmailed me into doing this will kill my partner. I have no choice in any of it.

My last book was very much chapter by chapter, rather than working towards specific word counts. The vomit draft took about seven months. Hopefully the next effort will be quicker as I won't be editing as I write.

The Cold War X time travel
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.

What if The Cold War was really about time travel?

I'm not a fan of this approach as I think it might force the wrong words out of me in an effort to hit target. I'm not good with targets generally, they just make me procrastinate. I'd rather write on the fly.

D7. There's no actual sport, in terms of playing it, but there's a golf course (closed to the public), next to the hotel where the story takes place, and one of the characters is a keen rugby player (scrum half).

My work motivates me, of course! What's the point of being the best scientific mind of my generation if I don't apply that talent? Nobody in the British government appreciates my efforts, but the Russians do.
