About The Dining and Social Club For Time Travellers
The Dining and Social Club for Time Travellers series, Book One: Divine Intervention, and Book Two: The Sky Watchers, are well-crafted, original and thrilling stories with great appeal and marketability on multiple levels.
To date, The Dining and Social Club For Time Travellers website has had over 20,000 visitors, with numbers growing daily. Additionally, the novel has consistently achieved a volume of sales in major retailers across North America. In recent correspondence from Manager, Sean Ayres, at Chapters Indigo, he highlighted our recent and ongoing success at their outlets and their willingness to work with us.
"With the coming of the New Year, it brings with it an end to another quarter at Chapters… Sales are key, and the performance of a book is directly tied to promotion the author does in informing the public where and how to get their book. Taking into account all of these factors it has been decided that we are offering to renew your title."
Elyse is currently working with Fitzhenry and Whiteside Ltd., on the North American distribution of the title, with plans to expand U.K. markets. Our softcover edition retails at $12.95 CAD and the hardcover retails at $21.95 CAD.

Divine Intervention can be described as Harry Potter meets Doctor Who. The fast-paced, humorous, and suspenseful story takes place in modern-day Paris, where the protagonist, Louisa Sparks, is thrown into a world of adventure when she finds an unusual timepiece in the pocket of her grandfather's old coat. With the press of a button, she is suddenly transported through time. Soon after, she receives an invitation to join the strange fraternity of The Dining and Social Club for Time Travellers. But her adventures have only just begun! Time travellers are going missing, and Louisa may be the only one who can save them.
Sky Watchers, (book two of The Dining and Social club for Time Travellers series), is due to be completed spring of 2017. In Sky Watchers, a mysterious island has appeared off the coast of Morocco, baffling scientists. Strange sightings, both wondrous and terrifying are cropping up worldwide. To the astute observer, things that once were, seem different. Louisa Sparks thought that her problems were behind her, but it seems her troubles have only just begun. Her first weeks at school have been a disaster, and the time travellers are getting along worse than ever. To top it off, the very fabric of the universe is unravelling, but who is responsible? To save the future, Louisa and Gendun must time travel 10,000 years into the past to find the lost city of Atlantis, where an evil and ingenious adversary plans to re-write history
