Whisper War is here!

Whisper War is here!

If you read my last post, you’ll remember that Whisper War, the second part of my genre-hopping trilogy of novellas, was soon to be released. Well, now that it’s out and available on Amazon kindle I thought I’d tell you a little more about a man called Eddie Bleakledge.

He’s the protagonist of Whisper War, and if you’ve read Whisper Wood, you’ll have heard a certain Rose Constantine speak his name. He’s her older brother, and as we found out while following the life of that book’s main protagonist Frank, she spent most of her troubled days in Sunnyvale either wondering about his whereabouts or believing that one of her fellow residents was Eddie.

Well, it turns out that maybe Rose did know something we didn’t. We learned in Whisper Wood that Eddie went to war, but what exactly happened to him? And how does all this link up with those mysterious voices that we also heard from in Whisper Wood?

The story of the voices continues to unfold, and this latest chapter is filled with wartime drama and action as well as a generous helping of paranormal mystery. We join Eddie as he lives through devastating conflict, both on the battlefield and in his mind, and learns more about his purpose.

Whisper War is almost upon us!

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!
