Book Reader interview

AND REVIEWS

"Excellent, thought-provoking exploration of choice and consequences…"

"Gripping possibilities of what might have been…"

"The level of detail the author provides is astonishing. Every location, from its street names to its historical and cultural significance, felt carefully researched and added to the authenticity of the story. These details not only grounded the narrative but also deepened my connection to the places and characters. It felt like stepping into a well-drawn world where every element mattered."


All Raymond Quinn wanted was a quiet place to enjoy a good cup of coffee. How difficult could that be in Seattle?

Newly retired, Ray had no job or close relationships to fill his days. He was adrift and tended to fall into his life-long habit of second-guessing his choices, both big and small.

Determined to find a less-crowded place than the downtown Starbucks he normally frequented, Ray finds himself at Other Worlds Coffee, far from the hordes of cruise ship passengers and panhandlers. It is there he meets a man with a shocking revelation:

“You are blessed, not cursed, because you now have a chance to eliminate regrets for past choices. Everyone must live the life they create for themselves based on decisions they make. However, sometimes, a very small number of people do get a second chance. They learn they can relive a portion of an alternative life. You are one of those fortunate people.”

Raymond Quinn is dead and about to embark on the adventure of his lifetimes.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Similar to his main character, Matthies served in the U.S. Army, First Cavalry Division during the war in Vietnam, 1968.

After leaving the service, he graduated college, married, raised two sons, and eventually found his true calling as a serial entrepreneur. His first book, The 7 Keys to Change, is based on years of research on personal and professional change management.

Matthies other accomplishments include earning a lifetime ban from Catalina Island at 13, viewing Earth from 80,000 feet during a Mach 2.5 flight in a Russian Mig 25 "Foxbat" fighter, and remaining an absolute beginner after “playing” guitar for more than three decades.
