“A fascinating story of love and loss set against the colorful background of barnstorming 1920s America. Every detail sings, and every character will touch your heart in this rip-roaring tale of three daredevils on the run, each with something to hide, drawn together by a desire to conquer the skies as well as their own demons. Romance, suspense, aerial thrills and spills—what more is there to ask for?” Melanie Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of THE AVIATOR’S WIFE.

“A spirited, big-hearted tale.” —Beth Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author of Looking for Me

“An exhilarating, memorable flight into the world of barnstorming in the 1920’s, with all the twists and turns of an aerial acrobat.  Compelling characters and a fascinating setting make this journey a sheer joyride. Satisfying and delightful!”—Lynn Cullen, author of TWAIN’S END

“Deeply moving. A richly drawn story of love, loss and redemption with characters as fily tunes as the planes they fly.” —Wendy Wax, USA Today bestselling author of A WEEK AT THE LAKE

 

“THE FLYING CIRCUS is Susan Crandall at her best– a colorful, rich and historical tale of the early years of flight…I loved this book!” —Karen White, Bestselling author of The Sound of Glass

“An engaging road saga” —Kirkus Reviews

July 7, 2014 By Susan Crandall 1 Comment

SIBA no stripes180x180xba_logo__wclear180x180_gif_pagespeed_ic_fNA-CaE5m3With great excitement and gratitude I announce that Whistling Past the Graveyard was awarded the 2014 SIBA Award for Fiction.  I can’t thank the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance enough for this honor, and for all of the support they’ve collectively given this book.  When I learned that WPTG had been selected as a finalist, I was over the moon.  The other five finalists were truly amazing books, written by wonderfully talented authors.  I didn’t dare hope.  But dreams apparently do come true!
