Review
"Fascinating - a compelling read." Piers Anthony, NYT Bestselling author of the Xanth series and Incarnations of Immortality.
"The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver is a gripping story of the ultimate "What if?"...the classic time-traveling tropes are present, but they seamlessly weave between highly developed characters and an emotionally gripping story line that makes readers forget that they are reading fiction.
A book like this one is widely appealing, both to those looking for a bit of a sci-fi adventure, a good thriller, or readers who prefer philosophical quandries hidden in their literature.
The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver is a standout story that begs important questions--and provides the author's personal answers--alongside a uniquely fascinating plot that does not disappoint.
5 Stars
Henry Baum, Self-Publishing Review
"Plenty of fictional stories of afterlives are on the market; but the real question to living a second life is: what would you do differently? What outcomes would you change? What would be the consequences of living one's life over and over, with a foreknowledge of events and the opportunity to make different decisions?
All this forms the nexus of The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver , a tale that begins with an American teen's ordinary life and moves into a story of tragedy and a serial killer in the making. Can these events be undone if a life is relived with prior knowledge of what will happen?
Watchers, angels, middle-aged men re-living life in a teen's body, and second changes all permeate a story that is heartfelt, well-written, and which approaches reincarnation experiences in a different manner than most novels. Thomas, fully aware of his nature, faces dilemmas that revolve around embracing changes.
His story is a universal tale of trying to forge a better life (or lives) against all obstacles. It's one which is hard to put down, and is highly recommended not just for young adults, but for adult audiences who will find many of Thomas's experiences thought-provoking and intriguing."

From the Author
The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver begins very simply: a young boy accidentally kills his brother, which ruins the rest of his life. The story kicks into gear when, after battling depression for decades, he elects to take his own life. He is instantly transported from 2016 to 1976, a few months before he had killed his brother.
Thomas is given the rarest of opportunities - the chance to fix everything he messed up during his first life. His second life is not without complications, though. It's not easy being a middle-aged man in a teenager's body. More than anything, he wants to find a way to not kill his brother a second time. Beyond that, he discovers a boy who will go on to become a serial killer if left unchecked. He wants to make everyone else's life better, if possible.
The question is, even if you think you know what's coming, can you fix your life? It's not as easy as it seems, and Thomas Weaver has a knack for doing things just wrong.
If you woke up in your fifteen year old body tomorrow, what would you do?
