It was coming across my grandparent’s story that led me to writing the Sisters Time Trilogy. Pretty weird for a math science teacher to write a historical fiction novel but we get weirder as we age. Once started on this imaginative adventure of creative writing and I was hooked. Whispers Through Time (2019) was my debut novel but I rewrote this and self-published the story as The Piano Tuner’s Daughters in 2025. So this is the one to read now. It’s set in the early 1900s and is the story of two sisters, Winifred and Francesca who travel from London to the other side of the world a few months after the sinking of the Titanic. It’s Winifred, my grandmother’s story embellished with the magic brush of fiction. But it is also my great-aunt Francesca’s story.

The sequel to The Piano Tuner’s Daughters.

This novel continues the story of the two sisters as The Great War of 1914-1918 erupts shortly after their marriages. Like millions worldwide, their lives are disrupted. For Winifred, her life will change forever.

Now I think you will enjoy this historical sequel. There’s a lot on offer; romance, war, loss, mystery and tragedy and even a couple of war orphans. You will travel from Sydney to London to France and the battlefields of the Somme in Picardy plus enjoy the mysterious abbey of Mont Saint Michel. It’s a story that will pull on your heart strings especially as it is true.

I nearly titled this book ‘Time Across the Oceans’ but this title is already taken along with all the good ones. You have to be very inventive these days with titles and even your name. I didn’t realize there was another author with my name until after I published my first book. By then it was too late. So, beware there are two of us. Joni Scott in America writes devotional and biblical books so that’s not me. I am happier it is this genre not horror or erotic porn books. That would be an incompatible mix up. Since my books are mostly sweet romances and historical, readers of her books can come my way and vice versa. My website is joniscottauthor.com. Follow my blog there as well as read about my books. There are five now. Three historical ones forming The Sisters Time Trilogy and two contemporary romances.

Take time to read. It’s a great escape from the reality of life. It enriches your experience and knowledge. It’s relaxing, nourishing and once you have the book, free!

Stay tuned if you enjoy the historical books the conclusion of the story of sisters, Francesca and Winifred., Last Time Forever is your next stop.

Paperback is out soon. Meanwhile enjoy free on Kindle Unlimited. Please leave me a review!
