Tomah, Wisconsin Mar 4, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - From the Mists of Time is a richly layered historical novel spanning from the late 1930s through World War II and into the late 1960s, blending military history, family legacy, aviation, and a subtle supernatural thread that unites past and present.
Set against the turbulent backdrop of wartime Britain and its aftermath, the novel follows a fictional family shaped by duty to country, the heartbreak of loss, and the enduring bonds of kinship. Central to the story is a particular aircraft preserved by chance in a forgotten wartime hangar in an English field that becomes a powerful symbol linking generations. As history and memory intertwine, the narrative introduces a supernatural dimension in which time folds in on itself, allowing a son and his deceased father to reunite across the veil of years.

A Message to Readers
I hope readers will feel the excitement and tension that aviators experience when facing flying challenges, as well as the deep sense of family continuity that unfolds across generations in this story. Above all, my aim is to entertain while opening minds to a side of history that is often overlooked in mainstream military writing.
