Sooner than I dared hope, JT recovered enough to finish The Unlived Lives: Reckoning narration, all 265 pages of it.

I listened to every bit of it. As usual, he did a tremendous job! Over 60,000 words, with only three small corrections.

After he makes the corrections, which should be today, I will let ACX know I have approved the project and paid him. It will then be in their hands for final processing. I expect the audiobook version will be available in the next two to three weeks.

This may not seem like much progress to you, but getting to this point of the trilogy is a very good feeling.

I didn't start what became Raymond's story a little over 10 years ago, thinking I was writing a book, not to mention three books. The Unlived Lives of Shelly Bennett came out of that, and along with both of them, The Unlived Lives: Reckoning. 

Thanks to you who have or will have paid for, read, and enjoyed all three of them. No book is for everyone, mine included, and I am grateful for your support.

First, the good news.

All three Unlived Lives books are available in print and digital formats on various sites, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and elsewhere outside the US.

The Unlived Lives of Raymond Quinn, and the sequel, The Unlived Lives of Shelly Bennett, are available as audiobooks. The Unlived Lives Reckoning soon will be, albeit later than I had hoped, and in increasing distribution. Check back later if you want more options.

The bad news.

JT, the narrator, has a medical issue he's dealing with and will be late finishing narration. How late, I don't know. I told him to take all the time he needs to recover.

Once he is done, I need to listen to the remaining chapters (he completed 36, I have approved) before turning it over to ACX, which handles publication. That will take another ten days to two weeks.

When it comes to completing the last audiobook in the trilogy, JT and I are forced to live a life we hoped we never would. 

Where are they going?

Away from the life they chose to live, or to one of the infinite lives they could have lived?

Raymond, Asian, Shelly, and all the other characters in the Unlived Lives Trilogy experience their alternative lives.

You can, too.

​Imagine where you would be today had you made better choices in the past.

Learn from that; it's never too late to begin again.

Those who could have been in your life but weren't because you or they made different choices are, or could still be, living their lives. 

But what about those you never met?

You changed classes in school. You took a different job. You didn't go to the park on the weekend as you had planned.

Who did you not meet because of those decisions, some of which you may now regret?

Don't!

​That's in the past, focus on what you do from this day forward.
