overview
a tiny synopsis
Jason is surprised to find a holographic pharaoh in his living room. Grace, a deceased woman time-folded from the 1930s to the present, is beside him. In crisis yet intrigued, Jason puts the kettle on. Through his visitors, he learns timelines are breaking down, creating cataclysmic anomalies, with he being both the cause and solution to them. Jason didn’t believe a word of it.Rim of Time : (working title)
It's set concurrently within three centuries : Rim of Time is yet to be finished, with around 7 chapters left to complete the story. And despite several rounds of thorough edits, it's still a First Draft with loads more polishing and revisions to do. I have several fellow writer friends who are kind enough to read my novel as it steadily unfolds. They have great advice and are good at pointing out where improvements lay. Here is some positive feedback that has greatly encouraged me to keep going with this journey : The writing has a fast pace, you have managed to successfully generate the coveted narrative tension. . . I also liked the dialogue, you have an ear for the natural flow of banter, and the erotic tension between some of the characters adds spark. The story is clever, and informed. The character of Crowley is believable and actually all your characters seem like real people, finely observed.
The novel is a lighthearted romp through a series of mishaps in time, with a supernatural twist and its fair share of high drama.
• Rim of Time begins in 21st century Sydney, Australia
• splinters off to 1930s London (my personal fave)
• while also forward to 22nd century Australia
It's an enjoyable puzzle for me to keep track of the time threads and to link all three centuries and main characters together.
A work in progress . . .

Thanks so much for letting me read what you've written - I love it. I'm held in suspense and can't wait to see what happens next. Now l'll be pestering you to finish it so l can find out what happens.
