The Last Save: Paradox Echo

Time didn’t break when Dean Calloway returned home. It rewrote the rules. After surviving an impossible journey back to 1990, and being thrust forward into a new version of 2025, Dean wakes in a life both familiar and altered. His home is changed. His memories are fractured. And the mother he once lost is alive again. The timelines have merged… but his mind hasn’t. As Dean struggles to stabilize two versions of his life inside a single consciousness, the world around him begins to shift. Photographs change. Conversations blur. Shadows of forgotten decisions whisper through his dreams. Each memory that resurfaces threatens to fracture the timeline he now inhabits. Only one person can help him navigate the paradox: Newby, the quiet genius who has spent thirty-five years decoding the strange crystal inside the Atari 5200 cartridge that started it all. With the mysterious Echo Protocol, Dean begins to understand the terrifying truth, every regret, every choice, every “what if” leaves a resonance behind. And if those echoes grow too loud, reality will collapse beneath their weight. To survive, Dean must confront the memories he’s been running from, repair the connections he broke in every timeline, and face the people whose lives have changed because he dared to rewrite the past. But some echoes don’t want to fade. Some want to repeat. Book Two of The Last Save Series And one decision, one he doesn’t remember making, may unravel everything he’s fought to save. A story of family, identity, second chances, and the cost of rewriting time, The Last Save: Paradox Echo dives deeper into the universe of choices that define us… and the echoes that refuse to let go. Perfect for fans of Ready Player One, The Butterfly Effect, and Back to the Future.

The Last Save: Paradox 5200

What if your last chance to fix the past came with a start button? Dean Calloway thought his game was over. A 43-year-old husband and father watching his world slowly unravel, Dean stumbles upon his childhood Atari 5200—and one unlabeled cartridge hiding in the dust. When he powers it on, a flash of light sends him hurtling back to 1990, into the body of his eight-year-old self. Now, trapped between memory and reality, Dean has one shot to rewrite what went wrong—his mother’s illness, his father’s absence, the choices that shaped his future. But every act of kindness creates ripples, and even the smallest change can rewrite everything he thought he knew. Blending heart, nostalgia, and mystery, The Last Save: Paradox 5200 captures the magic of retro gaming and the ache of second chances. A story for anyone who ever wished they could go back—not to escape the past, but to understand it. Genre: Coming-of-Age • Sci-Fi • Time Travel • Retro Nostalgia Perfect for readers who love: Ready Player One, Quantum Leap, or Back to the Future with a modern heart.

Confessions of an Indie Author: A Collection of Struggles, Missteps, and Complaints

Confessions of an Indie Author: A Collection of Struggles, Missteps, and Complaints follows the heroic and frequently unhinged journey of indie author David Corbin as he hurtles through the wild world of publishing his first two books: The Last Save: Paradox 5200 and The Last Save: Paradox Echo. This unfiltered adventure pulls back the curtain on the entire self-publishing process, blending hard-earned knowledge, useful resources, and brutally honest confessions along the way. Expect surprise trigger warnings sprinkled throughout, emotional whiplash, and a hero who will try to make you laugh, might make you cry, but absolutely wants to help every new indie author survive the chaos. This book is definitely not for children, contains a heroic amount of profanity, and may or may not summon something with the sheer volume of swearing alone. Buckle up, enjoy the ride, and, if all goes according to plan, learn something along the way. Second edition special content in most chapters!
