I started writing The Unlived Lives of Raymond Quinn a little over ten years ago. No plan for what I would do with it; just something to occupy my time. I’ve since added The Unlived Lives of Shelly Bennett and The Unlived Lives Reckoning, completing the Unlived Lives trilogy. 

​That’s enough “unlived lives” from me; we’ll now see what others interested in the concept might have in mind.

In the meantime, take some time to contemplate the lives you might have lived had you made different choices in the past. As content as you are with where you are today, there’s always room for improvement. 

You’ll never know for sure what might have been, but you could change what happens tomorrow if you choose differently today.
