About this ebook

Mateo Matic is, for the most part, an average 28-year-old guy. He was adopted by a lovely couple, but had a decent relationship with his birth mother...until she disappeared without a trace when he was only eight. Today is his birthday, and the one that changes everything. At the strike of midnight, Mateo is sent forward in time exactly one year. And at the end of that day, he is sent another year forward. As he continues to move through time at an astonishing rate, Mateo must deal with deadly and angry opposition, and do everything he can to unravel the mysteries of the "powers that be" who are said to be in control. He meets other helpless time travelers who refer to themselves as salmon. Each salmon has their own pattern, and their own purpose. It is up to Mateo to find his own reason for being manipulated and hopefully shape the timestream for the better.

Nick Fisherman

I am a speculative fiction writer. I started when I was thirteen years old, and progressed about in the way that you would think. I'm currently working on publishing my first book, with stories taken but revised from my website. My site is in blog format. Every single day, I publish a new story. On the weekdays, for the most part, I post independent microfiction of about 200 to 500 words. On Saturdays, I run series that are about three times that length, and ultimately add up to novellas. When I reach the end of one, I move on to another. On Sundays, you'll always find a new installment of "The Advancement of Mateo Matic". Since I write these week to week, I don't have the benefit of foreshadowing, or of editing earlier plot points in order to account for later developments. That's why the published version is different. Please both buy my book and visit my website, early and often! And find all my social media accounts.
