Touching Time

Jennifer Farlam

An unbelievable phone call, a warning from the future, a threat on your life. What if your only choice was to believe it or die?

 

Could you believe the unbelievable if your life depended on it? Could you kill a stranger to save your own life on someone else’s say so? Belle must do exactly that if what her caller is telling her is true. Could the woman on the other end of the line really know that in seven days Belle will become the fourth victim of a killer named Jonathon Krait? Could Belle’s gift have made this possible or has the caller stumbled on Belle’s past and is using it for her own ends? Three women with an alarming likeness to Belle are already dead and now Belle must decide what to do. Could the future and the present collide in such a way? Reality has shifted. Logic is useless. The abyss has opened. Would you believe the voice on the other end of the line? Could you kill a stranger to save your own life on someone else’s say so? What if that someone was you?

Hello ,
I am not an author myself and am here purely as a fan of literature but I fully endorse David James Pickering's books, especialy 'convergence' which I think you will find a thrilling and compelling read.
If you would give his a look then I shall be happy to read yours and of course back you if I enjoy the story.
Thank you and good luck,
Karen.

ARISE, AUTHONOMY GHOST!

Ease those weary, withered limbs from your coffin. Push away the stone from the mouth of the tomb.

You have one last task to perform. One last, sacred shelf to confer.

Whether you were plugger, spammer, gusher or troll, whether you flirted or fought in the forum or beavered away in the shadows, now is the time for your resurrection.

One last time. Marshall your strength, muster the last vestiges of your power and carry out your final Authonomy act:

Back my book, MIRROR IN THE SKY.

Then, only then, you may rest easy in your Authonomy grave.

Hey Jennifer

A great hook and an intriguing premise. You layer in enough clues that the reader wants to know more, and your writing is sharp. I can tell you're an avid reader/writer and, judging from my own experiences, the more you write, the better you'll get. Your work reads like a 'journeyman' novel - your future writing will shine.

In places, though, your use of passive voice detracts from the writing. Starting sentences with 'ing' words takes the emphasis away from the character, and you do it a bit at the beginning of the first chapter. As well, I would suggest you put the focus squarely on the phone calls, possibly even starting the entire novel with one. Your descriptions of the storm are good, but they do detract from the initially set up conflict of the phone calls, which are your hook and what will keep the reader reading.

But, all in all, strong writing full of promise. Write on.

Cheers,
Luke Keioskie
