Forum: Lost Stories

I vaguely recall reading a do-over/time travel type series of stories with an interesting premise.

The male main character would go back in time, but not to his direct past/body and live a parallel life up to a point. Once it made it to that point, he was able to go back and do another parallel life in the same universe. I think there were 2-3 or maybe more stories in the series. From what I recall I think his significant other/wife/GF was able to also go back with him as of the 2nd or 3rd story.

I also recall in the last story he met or realized one of the other characters was also able to do this and was watching what he would do. Or something along those lines.

Been poking around the net for a few months and just cannot recall/find it. Any help?

Unfortunately those aren't the stories I'm looking for. Took a read through them.

I think these were all set in close to modern time and the MC did not become aware of the watcher until towards the very end of the first or second story.

I thought about "Second Chance" by Number 7 with multible do-overs, but until Book 5 Chapter 25 (where I stopped reading) there was no watcher.
The autor is now within Book 13.

HM.

There is a "western" where the MC shelters in a cave in a storm and emerges from the other end back in the 1800's. I don't remember the detail but he married and was forced / chose to move westwards and shack up with a second woman. He seems to have died and woke up in his modern body but with memories of his ancestor character.

The story ends that his daughter (after his death) was trying to answer an enquiry about the family tree and found that just about every male including her father was christened with the same names.

Perhaps the last sentence at least will allow someone to give an author / story name

Aroslav, wrote a couple like that

Also look into Damsel in distress stories...

@helmut_meukel

Possibly. I may have to go back and actually re-read it. I started to a few months ago but didn't make it past the first few chapters before I was distracted.

@sejintenej

The time travel from what I recall never made it back to the 1800's. It was all in the 1900's and maybe all within his original lifetime. Maybe someone will chime in with the name of what your describing though.

It might pay you to do a dead tree search. I read a book about 20 years ago that was exactly the same scenario.

One good time travel/western that will probably never be finished since the writer is dead is: Finding Peace by Celtic Cowboy. He had a few good stories in my opinion that are well worth reading even the unfinished ones.

At least one of the unfinished is because it looked like he had started combining related stories into one main story. Which made it into an unfinished because I think he had more he was going to include into it, just his time ran out.

This really sounds like Redtail, from Aroslav.

my girls is great. Did the author ever start/finish the 4th story?

Guyver2010 already posted the answer... it's the Faster Than Light series... https://storiesonline.net/universe/252/faster-than-light by Timm... There are 6 stories in the series.. don't know why the shannonq story is listed..

Reminds me of Methuselah Complex by FantasyLover
Description: Jacob Greene is given the gift of the Methuselah Complex by his Uncle. With it, when Jacob dies, he takes over the body of a different young man who just died, and who was born near the time Jacob reached puberty. Jacob learns things about the power of the Methuselah Complex that his Uncle hadn't figured out, things that makes his new life much more rewarding.

Take a look at Second Hundred Years by Woodmanone. It may be what your are looking for.

Could it be The Chance series by Old Man with a Pen?

Twice lucky by joe j?

Sounds like Deja Vu Ascendancy by AscendingAuthor

What about Echoes by Sea-life?

This sounds a lot like the book Replay, by Ken Grimwood (https://www.amazon.com/Replay-Ken-Grimwood/dp/068816112X).
