Excerpt

Chapter 1

This is not my world.
Not my life.
Not my time.
Sure, it resembles a life I knew—from the snow piled up along the blackened,
salted streets, the icy wind buffeting the frosty diner window, to the sound of Celine
Dion singing how her heart will go on, and even the smell of oil in the fryers of the
late-night diner. It could be any one of the diners I used to frequent in downtown
Minneapolis after a long day of investigations.
But this is not my life.
My life is twenty years in the future, and right now, if fate were kind, or even fair,
I would be reading Llama, Llama, Red Pajama to my seven-year-old blonde cherub as
she clutches a ratty one-eyed bear named Gomer and tells me to slow down, to read it
again.
My gorgeous wife, Eve, would be standing in the doorway of our partially
remodeled craftsman located in a suburb of Uptown. Or maybe she’d be across the
hall in our king bed, bundled up in her wool socks and thick bathrobe, her reading
glasses down on her nose, deep in the latest issue of the Journal for Forensic
Scientists.
Downstairs, the light in my den would be on, the cursor at my computer blinking,
waiting for me to continue my half-finished novel.
And I would be happy. Until now, I wouldn’t realize how happy, but as I sit here, I
know.
I had a happy ending.
This is not it. But this time around, if I’m smart, I’ll win.

I must win.
To a time traveler, until you’ve been someplace for a long time, rewriting the past
feels like a game. We jump into the moment, armed with knowledge we shouldn’t
possess, the older and wiser versions of ourselves, with the goal of rewriting our lives,
this time for the better.
For us, the game isn’t win or lose, but rather, scored on the what-ifs that we grab,
the shouldas we accomplish. And, all the while, in the back of our minds, if we make
a wrong move, we’re buoyed by the surety it can be reset.
It’s taken me four rounds, but this time I know.
This is not a game.
Time is playing for keeps and there’s no reset if I fail.
But don’t worry—this time, I will not be bested.
I swear it on my life.
