Shawn Inmon - storyteller extraordinaire

 I like books but I'm not a bookworm.  I love historical dramas just because I love reading about the past and I believe in a different life I would be a history teacher. 

I had just finished a three book trilogy on WWII The rising tide, The Steel Wave and No Less Than Victory by Jeff Shaara and then Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton - all outstanding books and I was searching for a new book.  

When looking for a new book I tried a couple different ones but they didn't take and then stumbled upon a time travel book called A Door Into Time: An Alex Hawk Time Travel Adventure by Shawn Inmon.   

So far I have read and or listened too the first three books of this five book "trilogy" (I believe it started as 3 books but . . . . ) and am waiting for the fourth book to come out on audio.   

BASICALLY - a dude goes through a hidden door in his basement and enters the future which has no technology.  An extraordinary world where I learn and  WISH I could live in.  A world where every character is so rich you really want to meet them. A world created that I truly miss.

It's really a fun ride unlike any ride I have ever taken before.  So while I waited I picked up another one of his books. 

The Unusual Second Life of Thomas Weaver: A Middle Falls Time Travel Story by Shawn Inmon    89% 4 stars or above 

In this a main character at age 54 commits suicide and the next thing you know he wakes up as a 15(?) year old and has to start all over again trying to correct things that he did wrong . . . in Junior High in the early 1970s. He has all of his 54 years of living memories in a 15 year old body.  Nightmares like, "where is my locker" and 'what classes to I have" 

Mr Immon takes you back to that time so craftly that you remember how it was so many times.  Well, without giving too much away Thomas realizes a classmate turned into a serial killer a few years in the future and sets out to stop him.  The perp is a vile disgusting human that you hate with every fiber of your being.   All goes well and the killer is sent to prison and all ends happily. 

In last chapter Michael Hollister (the killer) commits suicide in prison and wakes up as an 8 year old in 1966 with his 20 years of memories still intact - BUT in an 8 year old body.  By a third way through the book you LOVE  Michael Hollister and are cheering for him. 

The Redemption of Michael Hollister: A Middle Falls Time Travel Story  

OMG - I have never ever had tears in my eyes that I could not focus on the words but now in the six books I have read it has happened twice.  They are not tear jerker books by any means but a couple times  whew!  SHAWN - you are so so good.  

If you are looking for a whimsical series that feels real please check out the Alex Hawk time travel series and if you are looking for a real entertaining "real life situations" time travel series check out the Middle Falls books.   

I have turned at least 3 people on to this author and all three have read at least three of the books that I know of. 

If you do audio the performer Mr. Inmon has picked is fantastic.  Every Book SHOULD be made into a movie seriously.   I have never read or listened too a storyteller as Inmon.  And get this - he has written 19 books since 2017 and the next book in the Middle Falls series #3 of 14   92% 4 or above stars. 

PLUS - as a bonus - everything is explained. All of the Whys and Hows are right there. 

I'm Gobsmacked  

remember

Everything will be alright in the end - and if it's not alright, it's not the end.
