Whispering
Tower
The
Story Behind The Story
Whispering Tower is book 2 in the Beguiled Series, but each
book is a standalone that doesn’t have to be read in order. When I was
brainstorming this book, it didn’t come easy! Getting it into shape took years.
The book begins in current times, but Skye and Philip fall
through time and end up in Old Testament Biblical times—though they don’t know
that’s where they are! I based the plausibility of time travel off the story of
Hezekiah, when God turns back the sun by fifteen degrees.
The hardest part of pulling the book together was the
elements that took place in the past. Whispering Tower is a time travel story—I
did a lot of research to make it accurate, but I did take creative liberties
because after all, it’s fantasy!
The story is about forgiveness, and finding purpose in the
place where God has put you. Finding these themes and bringing them out also
took lots of revisions! Book 1 in the series is Shadowed Eden. It released in
2016, and readers have been asking for quite some time when the sequel would
release. I’m happy to finally have a date to share! May 2019!
NOW
IT’S YOUR TURN! What would you do if you found yourself falling through time?
I’d like to think I could stay calm and collected…but who am I fooling? Leave
me your answer below to enter for a chance to win a digital copy of Shadowed
Eden, book 1 in the Beguiled Series!
Blurb:
Stuck
in London for one of her mom’s work trips, Skye Humphries can’t help holding a
grudge when she ends up roped into a summer tour group with
Philip-who-crushed-her-heart. But when Skye and Philip find themselves
barreling through time after unsuspectingly opening the veil between the past
and present, they’re thrust into a world where Skye’s very life is in danger.
If she’d known her choices were between summering with Philip or being
sacrificed to the god of the skies, Skye might have changed her attitude. Now
she must figure out what’s most important to her—getting even for the past or
having a future.

I'm not sure I would stay calm traveling backwards in time. There are certain periods of the past I enjoy visiting the historical landmarks that keep history alive.
Agreed on both accounts! Thanks for entering! :)
Thanks for having me here!
I think I'd be calling out to God like I never have before, and I've done some calling in my time. Thanks for sharing your book with us. Cheers
Absolutely! And there's definitely some of that in this book ;) .
I'd be out of my element and in trouble.
I love time travel stories. If I found myself in that situation I'd hope I'd land in a time period I was familiar with. :) Good luck with book 2. They both sound great! Linda
I love the premise to this book, good job, Katie. Can't wait to read. It's funny you ask that question about falling back in time, because when I read scripture, I often wonder what it would be like to go back to biblical times. Once when I was studying the Old Testament, I went to bed that night and had a dream that I was back in the days of Moses. It was scary and fascinating all at the same time. God bless.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Linda, Heidi, and Marie! I'm thrilled to talk with you :).
