I met
author Tim McWhorter a couple of months ago at a book signing sponsored by the
Mid-Ohio Indie Author’s Book Festival. The two of us shared a table at the
event, and between interactions with readers who approached us and purchased
our books, Tim and I chatted. I was impressed with the overall look of his
books—his book covers are eye-catching, done mainly in hues of black and white,
appropriate for his usual genre, which is horror. His horror/thriller BONE
WHITE is a best-seller.
I am so pleased to present to my readers Tim’s latest novel WINDING DOWN HOURS, his
first book of general fiction, and a huge departure from his usual genre. Judging
by the reviews it has received, it has hit the mark. It is notable, as well,
that the cover of the book is also quite different—it is colorful, and again,
eye-catching. Following is a description of the novel, as well as a couple of
reviews posted on Amazon. Links to it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google,
and Kobo are also included below:
“The
Taylors haven’t spent this much time together in years. But with their mother
gone and the tendrils of dementia slowly entwining their father, the three
siblings have one last chance to relive their idyllic youth while packing up
the family home. Life isn’t as simple as when they were children, however, and
missteps of the past have driven them irreconcilably apart. Only Mason, the
middle Taylor, is determined to mend the fractures before the weekend ends and
their time on the Cape is done.A story of the common hopes, trials and disappointments of family life – and just how difficult acceptance can be.”
Customer reviews:
"What a lovely gentle read. Tim McWhorter really has a handle on
family dynamics. I was intrigued by the premise of The Winding Down Hours, and
I wasn't disappointed by the story. I think what I appreciated most was the
complexity of the characters, even the Father suffering with dementia. I loved
the beautiful detail of the setting, and the cover is exquisite. The secrets
and memories of the family were uncovered layer by layer, and I found the novel
enchanting. I would definitely read more from this author."
"McWhorter exhibits his
multifaceted talent with this one. A heartwarming tale of complex family
matters that are right for today's times. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know
this family and working through their complicated relationships. Life can be
challenging, especially for families. Mr. McWhorter has great insight into
family matters that we may all face, in some form or another, one day. I highly
recommend this read!"
