Family Novels by J. Robert Whittle
ByI seem to have been forgetting that my focus here is to sell books, so this post is for you if you haven’t discovered our fabulous books, which are amazingly read by all ages. Now, you might say that is a rather unique idea … novels that can be read by old and young alike, when did that last happen
? Well, there once were the classics which are making a comeback due to ebooks. I think our series will be classics one day, especially Lizzie.
A few years ago the idea caught on again and someone came up with the unique slogan “family-friendly” books and movies. We were ahead of our time we found, but we made a success of it beginning in 1998. We have 3 Canadian Bestsellers and 2 Gold-Medal IPPY winners and many thousands of copies/per book (paper) sales to show for it.
Our novels keep almost everyone entranced save for a few people who require blood to be running in the street and children being molested to keep their interest. The oldies (parents/teachers and older) are extremely happy with our stories as they have NO sex, NO gratuitous violence and NO swearing (in Victoria Chronicles); only 1800′s-style sailors’ cursing in Lizzie Series, and certainly no horrid ‘modern’ cursing in any of them.
My husband has a remarkable imagination but he doesn’t swear so why should he add it to his books? (My first husband only cursed when he watched hockey on TV but this husband doesn’t watch much hockey, thank goodness! I warned him I would divorce him if he did!!) He comes from a family of 10 kids and he was the oldest guy. So, for the record, Robert also hates hearing news of terrible things happening to kids, hence he doesn’t write in that style either.
You just have to experience one of his books to see how great they are (that’s what our fans say in their reviews) … and they are now available as ebooks, so no excuse not to be able to find them or afford them anymore!!
