It is always a delight to have the
wonderful Melanie Robertson-King visit PB HQ and, today, Melanie brings news of
her latest book. If you enjoy haunted stories and secrets from the past, then
you will love, Echoes Through Time.
PAST AND PRESENT COLLIDE WHEN ECHOES OF
THE HAUNTED EMERGE, AND SECRETS REFUSE TO REMAIN BURIED.
A chain of chilling events occurs when
Nicole Holbrook discovers an antique china doll under the seat of her car. This
isn’t just any doll. This is one that she has seen in her visions of the past.
Hidden love letters from a WWI soldier lie beneath the keepsake.
She and her brothers uncover more than
just dust and decay when they explore a crumbling Gothic revival mansion.
Long-buried truths come to light, as Nicole dives deeper into the mansion’s
mysteries, intertwining with her family’s fractured relationships. She finds
some echoes from the past refuse to remain silent, and the haunted remnants of
the house seem to stir with a life of their own.
With the shadow of a tragic love story
hovering over her discoveries, will Nicole piece together the fragments of
history before the haunting memories consume her?

Everything you wanted (or maybe not) to
know about Melanie but were afraid to ask ...
A native of
eastern Ontario, Melanie Robertson-King lived in a winterized cottage on the
shore of the St Lawrence River during her pre-school years. Before starting
school, her family moved to Brockville, where she received her education,
including a post-secondary degree in Computer Programming.
As an only child,
Melanie was an avid reader and remains so. She knew then that one day, she
would be a writer. When she wasn’t talking about her dream of becoming an
author, she wrote stories and began honing her skills at an early age.
Melanie’s father
was a Scottish national. He came to Canada as a ‘Home Child’ through the
auspices of The Orphan Homes of Scotland. She promised herself that one day,
her feet would touch the soil in her father’s homeland. That first trip was in
1993, and she’s not looked back since, having returned to the Auld
country many more times. Her last trip abroad was in 2018. On one of
her many trips to Scotland, Melanie had the honour of meeting Princess Anne
(The Princess Royal) at the orphanage where her father was raised.
Encouraged to
study Highland Dancing, she competed locally. Her final competition took place
during the summer of 1969, a few short months after her father’s death, at the
1000 Islands Highland Games. She won the Silver Medal in the Sword Dance in
that last event.
Melanie began her
professional writing career in non-fiction. One of her articles graced the
cover of an international publication. At the same time, she continued to
develop her writing voice: short stories (both fiction and non-fiction) as well
as novel-length work.
Since her debut
novel was published in the summer of 2012, Melanie has written eleven more
books (including two for children) and released the second edition of her
first.
WHISPERS
THROUGH TIME is
Melanie’s twelfth book.
Her short
story, Cole’s Notes, has been re-edited and is available
as a free read through her website and blog.
You’ll find her
out and about when not sequestered in her cave writing, plotting or editing.
Her favourite haunts (pardon the pun) are cemeteries (the older, the better)
since they have more character, and perhaps a few more characters. She also
loves travel and photography.
Melanie and fellow
authors Wendy H. Jones and Chris Longmuir make up the infamous trio – the
Princesses of Pandemonium.
