rej 1/7/2021 after 66 days. Nice letter - suggested that I approach someone else in Writers House. No one else is looking for mysteries, though.

His Twitter on 21 Nov;

I have now responded to all queries through 8/31, not including partial/full requests. I hope to be caught up through October by the end of the year.

And now, time to enjoy my favorite Christmas present to myself: no more Twitter until January.

It was clearly a form rejection. I wonder why that would take four months.

Really nice rejection, very professional and encouraging. I plan to query Alec again with my next book. Best of luck everyone, don't give up!

I had written him off as a no response means no, but after looking at recent comments he made about being very behind on twitter, and looking at the data here, I'm thinking that he may have not even seen my query yet.
