Idyll Dreams & Nonsensical Things

The random thoughts and whimsical writings of Cari Lyn Jones

Something old and powerful walks the gas-lit streets of Ashwood town

For decades the Ascher family cemetery had been left to rot and ruin. Still, getting the position as caretaker there had been a boon for Devon Amaris. The job suited him, and it paid well enough that he could bring his younger sister, Sara, to Ashwood to continue her education. And if the spirits did not rest as quietly as they should in their weed-shrouded crypts… well that was of no nevermind to him. He could not say the same of the woman who waited for him every night in his dreams.

Sara had worried that making friends in a new town would prove difficult. As it had happened, a little white cat with rust-colored ears had adopted them nearly from the first day that she and her brother had arrived in Ashwood. And she had made more friends since. The fact that most of her new friends happen to be dead, she supposed was only to be expected.

Unbeknownst to Devon and Sara, a darkness is growing in Ashwood. The devil is in the air, and not everyone is as they appear to be. Certainly not a little white cat with rust-colored ears. 

Set in a time when electric lights and telephones are signs of the well-to-do and spiritualism is all the rage, Where the Angels Dream follows the story of Devon and Sara Amaris. Two siblings with an affinity for the dead and the unfortunate luck to have drawn the interest of powers far older than themselves.

Ghosts, cemeteries, hauntings, secrets, magick… I can’t wait until this book is out in the world!

I’ll be sharing the inspirations and interesting little tidbits that went into Where the Angels Dream over the next few months, so keep an eye out for upcoming posts!
