Asa Sidney first appeared in the 1933 novel The Sign of the Twisted Candles. Asa Sidney is a 100-year old inventor. He is uncle of Louise Fayne and Anna Marvin.[4] Asa was born in Liverpool-on-Tyne,[a] England, and as a young boy he was sent to work for a chandler. [5] For the first year, he carried wood and stoked fires to melt tallow. He was promoted to stirring and skimming hot grease. Under an agreement with his parents, Asa was to live with his employer until he turned 18-years old. At that time, he was to receive a new suit of clothes, money and a certificate as a candle maker. When he was 15-years old, he developed his first invention. It was a candle pierced lengthwise with four-holes, so the melted tallow would run down, instead of spilling over the candlestick. His employer took credit for the invention, and Asa ran away determined to get to America. He offered to work his way across the ocean, and the captain of a freightor took him up on the offer. In exchange, Asa worked as a helper in the galley. He found steady work in America, making candles.
Carol Sidney was introduced in The Sign of the Twisted Candles as the deceased daughter of Asa and Jenny.[6]
