Clouds Over Carousels (ePub)

Blown on the strange winds of a supernatural storm some thirty years into the future, Owen Turner and his five-year-old daughter Emily are literally lost in time.

To make matters worse, Owen soon gets an ominous glimpse of his wife's horrifying fate. Shocked and confused, he and Emily must race against time to figure out how to get back home before the otherwise inevitable nightmare truly unfolds. Armed only with a peculiar children's storybook given to Emily by a mysterious blind stranger at the Harper's Bluff County Fair, they just may have the roadmap they need to locate each odd piece in their time-bending puzzle. If so, can they somehow tweak fate enough to prevent the unthinkable?

With the help of a sanguine waitress and an aloof ex-marine, the pair are led down a frightening path of hidden clues and recurring nightmares, all of which seem to be linked together in a cosmic chain that could plot a course back through another tear in the very fabric of space and time. With a suspicious small town sheriff and other unseemly burlesque characters providing unnerving obstacles at every turn, Owen and Emily must somehow find a way to evade their would-be captors and successfully transport themselves back to present day.

In doing so, they not only hope to alter their grim family destiny, but perhaps also finally discover the true identity of the lurking, ever-present blind man.

Clouds over Carousels is a creepy, spine-tingling thrill ride which unfolds in an out of the way little hamlet carefully painted into the rolling hills of western New Hampshire. Hard to find on a map, Harper's Bluff is a place that even time itself seems to have forgotten. Unfortunately for Owen and Emily, time will soon become their most important commodity, as they breathlessly race to escape the temporal boundaries of an unimaginable future and return home in time to forever preserve the very life they know and love.
