The Story:
Oliver Ryan, a mild-mannered Seattle court reporter working in 1916 Victoria, BC, gets drunk one stormy night and is mysteriously drawn toward the local cemetery. Standing in the darkness of the cemetery, he suddenly realizes he is flying and beside him is a top-hatted man who says he’s his Guardian Angel. What follows is a delightful romp utilizing time travel, historical fiction, real ‘ghostly’ characters, and the inevitable but very complicated romance with Mary, a school teacher from Everett, WA with whom he shares his story.
Whittle and Sandilands have put a bit of everything into this book …
mystery, angels, ‘real’ ghosts, time-travel, romance and history. What more could you want!

Midwest Book Review …”J. Robert Whittle, bestselling author, is back once more with his eighth novel alongside his wife, support, and co-author Joyce Sandilands. Whispers Across Time follows Oliver Ryan, a reporter who strangely finds himself thrown through time – the past, future, present, anywhere in this excellently written time-travel tale, with a good deal of romance stirred in for good measure just to throw Ryan’s life further out of whack. ‘Whispers Across Time’ is highly recommended for community library romance shelves with a possible side interest to sci-fi and historical fiction readers.”
