A few years ago I had the idea of creating a genre-hopping trilogy of books that could be read individually but were also linked by a larger narrative. The first of those was Whisper Wood, which as well as taking an embellished walk through some parts of my own childhood, was a murder mystery/thriller with supernatural elements. The second is Whisper War, which is about to be released for Amazon Kindle. As the title suggests, it’s a war story, or rather, a collection of war stories and one man’s journey through them.
So what’s the link? Well, anyone who has read Whisper Wood may remember a minor character Rose, an elderly lady in a residential home with a seemingly dementia-driven obsession with the fate of her oldest brother Eddie. Whisper War tells Eddie’s story and though it’s written as a standalone story, those of you who have read Whisper Wood will be re-introduced to some familiar characters along the way.
And if you haven’t yet read Whisper Wood, now’s the perfect time to get caught up!
