Now a middle-aged man in a teenage body, he sets out to fix everything he did wrong in his first life. A budding serial killer in home room, a possible new romance, and high school algebra complicate his plans.

The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver is the first in the bestselling Middle Falls Time Travel Series. All books in the series can be read in any order and are all available as audiobooks from Podium Publishing.

I wasn’t supposed to survive.

The station has been hit. Everyone around me is dead.

I have 11 hours of life support left and no way of contacting Earth.

I’m alone. I’m stranded. I’m desperate.

But I’m alive.

The more of the station I explore, the surer I get that this was no accident. Someone did this, and I don’t think they’re finished yet.

Making it home feels like an impossible task, but I’m not just fighting for my own life.

I have to protect my family — whatever it takes.

And as long as I’m breathing, this isn’t over.

Because whoever did this almost pulled it off… but they made one big mistake:

They left the wrong man standing…

It’s the year 2125, and the gritty metropolis of Los Angeles is more divided than ever.

South of Sunset, Oleander Briggs exists in a drab reality of the Seventh Industrial Revolution and the demise of social media, where his monotonous life consists of working the factory assembly line for Fleur Industries—a mysterious company that sells flowers preserved in gold. His future, like so many of his generation, is bleak, but Oleander dreams of more.

When he unexpectedly catches the attention of Mr. Fleur—Fleur Industries’ elusive owner—his luck changes as he’s offered a job to work directly with the Fleur family at their palatial estate, North of Sunset. There, he encounters eccentric characters, extravagant wealth, and youthful beauty the likes of which he has never seen. The Fleur family may be his ticket to a better life—but at what cost?

North of Sunset asks how we exist in a world where one is forced to choose between living in luxury or the luxury of living.

The Celestial Voyager was supposed to be a dream vacation—until a navigational error left the ship stranded in uncharted space. And then the bodies started appearing…

Cut off from Earth with no way home, disgraced fleet Captain Elias Mercer must find a habitable planet before supplies run out. The ship’s AI claims there’s one nearby—but after everything that’s happened, can it be trusted?

Security Chief Lars Dekker is sent to explore, only to uncover something terrifying waiting on the surface.

Meanwhile, Cruise Director Lexi Rourke clashes with the captain as she tries to keep her passengers entertained, and oblivious, for as long as she can.

Among the passengers:

  • Gavin Trent, a desperate family man hiding the collapse of his finances and his marriage.
  • Nico Virelli, a con man on the run looking for his next mark.
  • Zara Quinn, a retired cyborg assassin with unfinished business aboard.

As the grim reality of their situation comes to light, paranoia spreads, giving rise to a chilling theory: what if the ship didn’t get lost by accident? Someone might have planned this… but why? And what were they hoping to find?

Before anyone can begin to answer the question, they discover that someone—or something—on board is killing the passengers.

A chilling sci-fi mystery where paradise turns to panic, and survival means facing the secrets you brought with you.
