## Why I Wrote These Books
I started writing this story because I asked myself a simple question:
**What would the world look like after World War III?**
Would robots do all the work?
Would food become a human right?
Would people spend their lives chasing attention instead of purpose?
Those questions became the foundation for these three books.
The first book explores a world where survival is guaranteed, but purpose is disappearing.
The second book explores what happens when people reject control but lose accountability.
The third book explores the possibility that neither extreme is the answer, and that somewhere in the middle there may be a better way.
But as I wrote these books, something unexpected happened.
I realized we don't have to wait for World War III to ask these questions.
We don't have to wait for society to collapse before deciding what kind of people we want to be.
We can choose today.
We can choose to help our neighbors.
We can choose to work hard.
We can choose responsibility over excuses.
We can choose kindness over cruelty.
We can choose to build communities instead of tearing them apart.
The future isn't something that happens to us.
The future is something we build together.
These books may be about a world after a war, but the lesson I learned while writing them is much simpler:
**The world gets better when people decide to be better.**

Book 2
After a stay in the hospital, Michael is struggling with a world that no longer feels stable. Time skips, reality glitches, and his only anchors are his music—and his wife. But when his songs start reaching others who sense the same cracks, Michael must confront the unsettling truth: he might not be the only one seeing behind the curtain. This is a journey of self-discovery, balance, and the thin line between control and chaos. Dive into Book 2 of Michael’s story, where reality bends—and the only way forward is through the music he creates.
Right Generation, Wrong Time is a deeply personal reflection on family, legacy, grief, and the weight of time. Darren Reaume shares what it meant to witness multiple generations of his family line, and how that rare gift shaped the way he sees memory, identity, and change. Honest and heartfelt, this book is about what we inherit, what we lose, and what we choose to leave behind.
