Really happy with the responses from a beta reader (daughters friend) and alpha reader (established author).

Done all I can for now. Time to query!!

In 2026, you’d think a table for a laptop would be standard! 😵‍💫😬 @TLRailUK

Meanings of “sorry, are you in the queue?”

1. This shop has a terrible layout, making it impossible to tell who’s in the queue.

2. I know you’re not in the queue but you’re standing in an odd place and causing everyone tension. I want you to realise this and move away from the queue.

3. I know you’re in the queue, it’s just that you’ve decided to not move forward enough, leaving a large gap, and I don’t like it at all.

4. I just accidentally pushed in and I want to show you that I honestly didn’t mean it. I am respectful of the queue, please believe me.

5. I’m flabbergasted that the queue is so ridiculously long and I’d like it known.

@LydiaRSilver Ooo…I’ve got an action/adventure:

14yr old Alex studies at a top secret Time Academy. When the timeline suddenly changes, Alex must defeat a sinister empress or his world will be lost

You saw an earlier draft 12mths+ ago, would you be happy to consider a revised query please?
