The Unlived Lives of Raymond Quinn Puzzle (revisited)

On August 30, 2024, I published the first entry in what has become the Unlived Lives Trilogy blog.

It wasn't a trilogy then; there was barely one book, and I had no intention of writing any more. But here we are now three books later. 

I'm publishing the text and image again here because what I had to say about the project is as true today as it was on 8/30/2024. The big difference is the story did not end with Raymond. It now includes a full cast of characters exploring their unlived lives, both alone and together, throughout the world and the multiverse.

"Raymond's story has a puzzle hidden among all the words. If you enjoy doing puzzles, you will enjoy reading his story.

When you assemble a puzzle, you see the individual pieces and must find how to put them all together. You don't see the complete picture until you put all the pieces where they belong.

There are no physical puzzle pieces in Raymond's story, but it is a puzzle nevertheless. The pieces are the individual interactions he has with others, and none more than with Asian. What they say and do becomes clear to you when you reach the end.

If you read the book, read carefully, paying attention to the details. Do that, and you will be rewarded with the ending.

​The end of the beginning, the beginning of something new for some, maybe you.
