Mr. November

Combining reality with fiction in a landscape under constant change, Mr. November is a slow burn in a fast world. With elements of emotion, imagination, and cold, hard fact, it creates a possible future on an indefinite past. And with several reveals along the way, Mr. November saves the best for last. 

Sam Webb remembers things that no one else does. He has memories of events that never occurred and people who never existed, slowly driving him mad. He's a key player in a global conspiracy that is rewriting history, and he wants out. There's only one problem. He has no idea how far he's actually in.

The most historic invention ever created lies in secret beneath a nuclear plant in Waxahachie, Texas. It opens a door to a dimension not constrained by the known limits of space and time. Rather than for noble scientific discovery, however, AlphaGroup's ruthless CEO, Johnson Dravek, is using the machine in pursuit of ultimate power.

Sam Webb is Dravek's ripper, the traveler inside the machine. His job is simple—to make money for the company by orchestrating "forwards,” business deals designed to cash in on events that have already come to pass. Each time he does his job, however, history is altered and lives are destroyed. He copes by drinking.

While carrying out his latest assignment to exploit the housing market crash of 2007, Webb begins uncovering the truth of Dravek's master plan and how he really controls his sweeping empire. With the help of Marcus Planck, a brilliant physicist and inventor, Webb devises a plan to take down Dravek by using the machine against him. From 2131 to 1980, he leaps through time, striking deals at precise moments in order to bankrupt AlphaGroup and salvage whatever future may be left. The deeper he gets, the more corruption he unearths, including deceit, theft, and murder.

Along the way, as each rip through time takes an ever-greater toll on his body and mind, Webb must face the repercussions of his own choices, including the impact they've had on the people he cares about most. But even he can't foresee just how important his past is to the future, and finding out who he really is may be the end of it all.

Matt Hogan is a practicing internist who had to slog through medical school and residency before finding the time to pursue his other interests, including sleeping, eating foods that don't come in a can, and writing fiction. As a child in Philadelphia, Matt fell in love with both science and fiction, consuming every medium from which they came. From textbooks to movies, his life was filled with things both real and imagined, and he dreamed of one day blending them together. So when his real pursuits finally allowed, he started to imagine again. Matt currently lives and works in Atlanta and loves being able to pursue two of the things that make him most happy (being a father of two, however, he still doesn't get much sleep).
