About The Book: Drafted into a world war that no country can
win, young Jason is forced to witness the worst of humanity as everyone around
him dies before he is thrown back in time by an explosion that kills him.
Seemingly trapped in childhood with memories of a hopeless future haunting him,
can Jason find a way to stop the war and save millions of lives if no one
believes him? For more info, please see: – https://nightstandmatt.com/books/

1. What inspired you to write this book? I first came up with the idea when I was a kid
of traveling back to your younger self. I 
had kind of worked on it over the years until
in 2020 when I was sitting in a class I did 
not want to be in listening to a teacher that
did not care after working a full day of 
cleaning pools. I decided it was time to start
dedicating real time to writing. 
 

2. What exactly is it about — and
who is it written for? 
It’s about lost youth and how we are expected
to throw our lives away for a conflict we 
had no part in starting. Then if you do make
it home how little you will belong. I think I 
wrote it as a warning. I did write it before
Russia invaded Ukraine.

3. What do you hope readers will get out
of reading your book? 
I hope readers see the warnings but maybe it’s
too late now. So, I hope it provides a bit 
of an intense escape from our work filled
lives. 
 

4. How did you decide on your book’s title and
cover design? 
The original title was going to be Life and
Time but the plot changed a lot. The original 
starting point was when the main character
travels through time. However, that changed 
when I realized how much story there was
before that point. 
As for the cover. That is one of the most
important moments in the story and when the 
reader reaches that point I want them to have
an emotional connection with that picture. 
That’s how I want all my covers to be.  

5. What advice or words of wisdom do you have
for fellow writers – other than 
run!? Start typing, fingers to keys. Also be
able to take criticism. That can build a better story. 
 

6. What trends in the book world do you see —
and where do you think the book 
publishing industry is heading?   I see a lot of boring covers. Bland
pictures of cities or unremarkable art that has no real 
connection to the story. As for publishing I
have no idea but the publishers seem to not 
like me very much. But who do they like? 

7. Were there experiences in your
personal life or career that came in handy when 
writing this book? Yes, I have lived an interesting life full of
difficult jobs, weird people and heartbreak.  
 

8. How would you describe your writing style?
Which writers or books is your 
writing similar to?I write at the seed of my pants. I have a plot
and a general ending but most of the time 
I’m just letting the characters guide me.
I don’t know who I’m similar to, to be honest. 
 

9. What challenges did you overcome in the
writing of this book? 
Covid kept me locked inside while typing but
aside from juggling a full-time job cleaning 
pools and going back to school. but what I had
to really overcome was Fear. I was 
afraid of being judged for putting so
much of myself into this book but all the best art is a 
piece of the author.  

10. If people can buy or read one book this
week or month, why should it be yours? 
I already predicted World War 3 in the first
book and I just finished book 3 in this series. 
Don’t you want to know what the future holds?
