Weathering Old Souls
by James J. Cudney & Didi Oviatt
Genre: Metaphysical, Spiritual Historical Fiction
Abigail has always struggled with the voices. From the relentless tyranny a woman faces on an antebellum plantation to the unknown prison camps in America during World War II, our heroine discovers the past in a way that changes her future.
Moments from the past serve as guiding posts for the country’s growth, and also mark the transitions for Abigail’s own personal history. Her best friend, Margaret, partners with Abigail to discover the identity of the mysterious voices, while focusing on her passion and quest to become a United States senator.
Through it all, a serial killer torments the country, romance blossoms between people they meet during the journey, and long-buried secrets come to light in devastating ways. As elements twist, numbers align and spiritual powers connect, no one will be the same again.

Book Trailer:
Weathering Old Souls is definitely different from anything I’ve read before. It begins with a murder ( there is a serial killer, called the Fashionista.) An undercurrent of uncertainty and fear continues – there is a murderer on the loose but Abigail’s behaviour is so odd too, driving her father to distraction. I was particularly drawn to how Abigail could connect to her past lives in such a striking way.
The relationship she has with her father is not an easy one and she relies heavily on neighbours for emotional support. She becomes especially close to Margaret and the two women are both strong, interesting characters.
I liked the spiritual/metaphysical aspect of this novel and it is not something I have come across before. Perhaps I should read more books like this!
A detailed novel, written by two authors James Cudney and Didi Oviatt and yet the writing is seamless as if it were just one person writing.
I’d recommend this novel if you enjoy stories that combine more than one genre – in a way that is different from the norm.
Highly recommended. My rating 5 stars.
Didi Oviatt is an intuitive soul. She’s a wife and mother first, with one son and one daughter. Her thirst to write was developed at an early age, and she never looked back. After digging down deep and getting in touch with her literary self, she’s writing mystery/thrillers like Search for Maylee, Justice for Belle, Aggravated Momentum, and Sketch, along with multiple short story collections. She’s collaborated with Kim Knight in an ongoing interactive short story anthology, The Suspenseful Collection. Most recently, she published her first romance novella titled Skinny Dippin’ which was originally released as a part of the highly appraised Anthology, Sinners and Saints. When Didi doesn’t have her nose buried in a book, she can be found enjoying a laid-back outdoorsy lifestyle. Time spent sleeping under the stars, hiking, fishing, and ATVing the back roads of beautiful mountain trails, and sun-bathing in the desert heat play an important part of her day to day lifestyle.

James J. Cudney
James is my given name, but most folks call me Jay. I live in New York City, grew up on Long Island, and graduated from Moravian College, an historic but small liberal arts school in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with a degree in English literature and minors in Education, Business and Spanish. After college, I accepted a technical writing position for a telecommunications company during Y2K and spent the last ~20 years building a career in technology & business operations in the retail, sports, media, hospitality, and entertainment industries. Throughout those years, I wrote short stories, poems, and various beginnings to the “Great American Novel,” but I was so focused on my career that writing became a hobby. In 2016, I committed to focusing my energies toward reinvigorating a second career in reading, writing, and publishing.

Great review, Marje, it makes me eager to read this:)
Thank you Denise. I’d really recommend. Great novel. 🙂 x
Thank you so much for the review! It really is different, something I wouldn’t have dreamt I’d be able to write, but with Jay as a co-writer it all came so naturally!! I’m glad you felt it was seamless 😊
Thank you!
Awesome. Such a fascinating topic and one that intrigued me greatly. My youngest daughter has always felt she has been here in a past life before! And when she was born she could hold her head up which was so strange for a new born baby!
Wise beyond her years! 🙂
Yes, lol.
Hey me too! I love old souls, sometimes when you know you know ❤
Yes I tend to be a bit intuitive myself!
Terrific review, Marje! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Thank you Miriam. A great book and loved the themes within. Cleverly done.
Thanks Miriam!
Thank you Miriam ❤
Hi!
Thank you so much for this stellar review and post. I tried to comment last night but it had so many issues connecting / was slow. The internet must’ve been having a meltdown! LOL
But it worked today. Thank you for such great feedback. We appreciate you so much. Sharing everywhere now!!!
You are so so welcome Jay. Sorry to hear you had trouble connecting.
It happens. All
Better today!
Great. <3
Thanks for that post, Marje. I started this book on the bus today – missed my stop . . .
Yes! It’s that good. Hope it didn’t take you too far out of your way Elizabeth.
This is such a different book as you have mentioned here, Marje. I really enjoyed it.
Yes, thoroughly enjoyed it too. Reading some awesome books. 🙂
