What a thoughtful phone call we just received … a local fan (who calls herself our ‘biggest fan’) holidaying in Ontario, just had to phone to tell us she had finished reading ‘Whispers Across Time’ and had to immediately tell us her reaction. Rather more amazing, instead of emailing us, she felt it deserved a personal conversation. Cindy said she didn’t normally like mystery novels (which was one word Robert had used to describe it to her), but loving his other books, she allowed him to persuade her to buy our latest novel last summer at the Bastion Square Market in Victoria.

To quote Cindy, “This is a book you desperately want to know how it’s going to end, but yet you don’t want it to be finished!” Such an interesting statement and one that almost takes our breath away in its startling appraisal. She couldn’t say enough about it and says that even thought she has read all but one of our earlier books, this one was very special. When we told her it had won a Gold IPPY Award, she said, “And so it should have!” Thank you Cindy
