Meet Captain Pierre Garneau, an Air Canada Pilot on the new Boeing 777 on his way to Paris. Capt. Garneau is one of 100+ Air Canada crew members whose families are reading the Victoria Chronicles thanks to Don, their Victoria BC taxi driver, a big fan of our books. Thanks to you all.

"Have a cup of coffee at the Balmoral Hotel and meet the locals ... a tale of cunning and intrigue in Edwardian Victoria; this delightful blend of fact and fiction will lead you on a fascinating tour of 1900s Victoria, BC." C.J. Pallister, City of Victoria Archives
"These books were like a step back in time for me. I am very familiar with the buildings so this book brings them alive. I was 'with' the characters as they made their way around my town." Helen Edwards, Hallmark Society, Victoria, BC
"In the beginning it was as if I was an outsider looking in on the situations that were slowly developing. However, soon I actually felt as if I had become a part of Nancy Wilson's extreme life! I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the book and would like to congratulate you on a phenomenal piece of work. I can hardly wait to read part two!" S. Meshen, 14 years, Alberta

Book 3 of Victoria Chronicles - Winner of Gold Indep. Publisher Award 2007
"Loyalty's Haven is even more riveting than the first two installments ... followers of the lifelong romance between Dan and Nancy will love Loyalty's Haven .... Once again, he has written a magnificent and compelling epic within the historical backdrop of post-World War I Victoria, BC and the US Pacific Northwest. (This episode) will delight even the most discriminating of readers." Review by Dana Blozis, Read the complete review at VirtuallyYourz.com
"Mr. Whittle's unique style was spot on ... captured the essence of the Spanish Flu Epidemic so well, I really learned a lot from a time in history that has never been written about. I highly look forward to reading more of his books." Adrianna, Library Tech.
I am a big fan of both Joyce and Robert and eagerly await all new books and, as usual, they deliver in spades. Loyalty's Haven does not dissapoint Dan and Nancy fans. Althought it's the last of this series, it leaves you with good feelings and hope for their future (Dan & Nancy). I can hardly wait to read whatever comes next. I know it will deliver. I will miss Dan and Nancy but will also enjoy re-reading the series. Wendy, Kincardine Ontario
