Read The Stories Before They’re Published
ARC books are not ready for prime time. Readers have asked for early access, so to accommodate those requests we offer an unpolished version. You will find mistakes and ill-conceived storylines. ARC readers help us identify these mistakes before we begin final rewrites and edits for release. Please enjoy and feedback is encouraged.
“The worst enemy you can ever meet will always be yourself.” F. W. Nietzsche – Thus Spoke Zarathustra
When I first saw this quote, I didn’t understand it. Then I got old and sick.
It’s incredible how a stay in the hospital makes you realize that most of what you worry about is stupid. That made me reflect on everything that had held me back, such as what others thought and whether I was good enough. But changing that was out of reach because …
It all came down to a lack of confidence and the fear of failure, which had plagued me all my life. Looking back, I realized I might’ve been so much more, done so much more, gained so much more if only I’d faced my fears.
Gaining confidence wasn’t easy; it required diving into the stuff I feared most. I didn’t gain confidence by doing what made me feel good or taking the easy way out. In the end, it was overcoming the fear that gave me confidence.
As they say, it was easier said than done. Fortunately, I had a cheat: life experience. I’d become the old man who no longer gave a fuck about others’ opinions. The problem was that by the time I learned this, I died … or so I thought. I found myself thrown back into time to do it all over again.
Could I truly have a do-over on my biggest mistakes in life? Would I make those same mistakes again, this time knowing the consequences? If given a second chance, what would I do with it? Could I get it right this time?
This is the second book in the Wrinkle in Time Trilogy. It is a stand-alone book with an all-new cast that embraces getting a second chance, a do-over.
Warning: Adult Content
Note that this is a longer book with over 190,000 words, which makes it comparable to the first A Better Man Book, which had just under 210,000 words. Enjoy a long read.

★★★★★ I felt totally immersed in the story; the characters and the plot made me lost in the fiction.
★★★★★ Perhaps the theme of the book is so attractive because many of us have thought many times what we would do if we could return to relive some moments.
I really enjoyed this book a lot and recommend it to anyone who likes a do-over story.
First Book In Series: Getting it Wrong
FREE
In the far future, on a remote planet, an epic adventure awaits. Brodie Erikson returns from Hersir Academy to become the military leader of his Norseman clan. He hoped to live in peace, but his enemies had other plans. In their eyes, someone as young as he was shouldn’t hold such a lofty position.
Against all odds, Brodie, his two best friends, and a quirky AI face his fellow people but also a mysterious alien race with superior technology. It all comes crashing down, and his team finds themselves in a desperate struggle for survival. Determined to fight back, Brodie discovers that the aliens also have enemies—something far worse. If Brodie fails, humanity itself will perish.
This is the prequel to the long-anticipated Star Academy series.

★★★★★ This is G. Younger’s storytelling at its best. This is a page-turning epic series filled with twists and turns … an addictive read.
Austin is moving in with his Grandma Montgomery, who he doesn’t know and isn’t sure if she wants him. But he has no choice since his dad has remarried, and his mom is wrapped up in a new love and doesn’t want him to live with her.
The only thing that gives him hope is that his grandmother has agreed to allow him to bring his horse and bought him a puppy. At least he’ll have two friends in Virginia.
Once he arrives, his mom shares too much information with her new beau, who, in turn, tells his teenage sons. He’d hoped for a fresh start, but now the reason for his departure from Texas is known.
So much for the fresh start he’d hoped for.
The one bright spot is that Austin meets a group of teens who have moved to the small tourist town for summer jobs. Three of them start a group called Club DTF and ask him to join.
Fair warning, this book has adult content.
Club DTF is the second book of A Last Cowboy Story series. While it can be read as a standalone. I would recommend reading The Outsider first.
Price $10.00
★★★★★ Austin is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. Fun read.
Bundle of both books in A Last Cowboy Series: The Outsider and Club DTF.

For generations, the Carsons of Montana have lived the cowboy life. Since he was five, Austin has been on a horse, helping his dad herd cattle and care for horses. But circumstances have forced him and his dad to move to Texas, where there seem to be no real cowboys anymore, just too many people for his taste. You can’t influence fate or change what’s out of your control. But you can choose what you do with the cards you’re dealt. But fate might help Austin discover girls.

★★★★★ You’re getting better with each story. I love this story. It grabbed a part of me and held on until I finished. I hope others who’ve not read it yet appreciate it as much as I have.
Most third sons never survived childhood. Third sons were a problem for a hereditary peerage. They couldn’t inherit, which made them dangerous to the heir. In the Duchy of Montrose, the heir was the firstborn. The second son was traditionally sent to the clergy, renouncing all his rights to inheritance.
Today marked the liminal ritual or rite of passage. For Thomas Mycroft, the third son, he’d just turned eighteen, making him a man. Today he would learn his fate― would he be used for a political marriage or put into the military—somewhere far from home. Today would mark the beginning of an adventure.
The Third Son is a fantasy novel filled with plenty of swordplay, magic, and even a little romance to make things interesting.
What People Are Saying:
The Third Son is a fantastic fantasy that will hook you from the very first page! I loved every single moment, and all of the characters are ones you will fall in love with! G Younger has done it again. I love all his books, and this one is no exception. He once again exhibits his fantastic storytelling skills and includes lots of detail! Get this book immediately!!!
Warning: This story contains violence and mature content.

★★★★★ I love that this is something completely different. You continue to surprise me. Can’t wait until the next book.
Sometimes, characters from outside the Stupid Boy/Better Man stories cross over and show up in this series. And occasionally, a character from Stupid Boy or A Better Man will show up in one of the others.
I realize that some readers have read all of the books as I’ve posted them (thank you), but some have not. This book is to provide the backstory for these crossover characters. If you’ve not read these before, well, this will hopefully fill in some holes and give you a more complete picture of what’s going on in our friend David’s world. And if you have read all of them, perhaps this will remind you of where some of the characters come from and what they’re about.
Each of the books included here has an added preface of its own, explaining what character or characters from the story have appeared in Stupid Boy or A Better Man.
Please note that the stories contained here have been re-edited from the originals; the plot, characters, and story line are the same, but they’re not word-for-word identical to the original published version.

★★★★★ I had to laugh out loud because I hadn’t realized there were so many tie ins. This was a fun read now that I have more background.
