Publisher's Summary

Charles Waters has 30 days to live. Those days pass in a blur and he dies a quiet, unnoticed death.

He opens his eyes back in the doctor's office as he is told, "I'm sorry to say, but you have 30 days to live."

Thus begins The Many Short Lives of Charles Waters, who has to live the same 30 days over and over while he finds out what it is to be alive.

The Many Short Lives of Charles Waters is the 12th book in the Middle Falls Time Travel series. Like all Middle Falls books, it is a standalone novel. These can be listened to in any order.

Includes a special bonus note read by the author.

Great series!

This is one of my favourite series too! You really get to like the characters and their development to reach their conclusion.
For Charles, I wasn’t sure where it would go but was happily surprised. Moon dog is a perfect friend to have same for Sarah. They both were great with Charles. Moon dog’s openess and welcome of Charles in his life where absolutely great and humbling.

Thanks for writing this series & sharing with us readers!

NICE AND GENTLE

I listened to this book over two nights. It was a nice sweet interesting book that had me smiling after each chapter. Nice change from the violent loud crime books that I have listen to in the past.

Unexpected surprise

I don’t usually read books in this genre, and quickly became unexpectedly enthralled with the characters and the story. I have since downloaded several more titles by this author (this book was my first by him). My only criticism was that it was occasionally briefly confusing as to who was speaking, as the narrator sometimes used very similar voices for the two male lead characters.

Another great listen

I really enjoyed this last book(so far) in the Middle Falls series. I had read the first one about a year ago and then went on to other series. This series came to my attention again and I binged and finished them all in a couple of weeks. Extremely hard to put down!

This was my favourite so far

I love this series. At first I thought they would all be the same format and they would get boring, but I have to say I have loved all of the characters. This story was great and so was the narrator! Highly recommend!

One of my favorites in the series

Charles and Moon Dog are 2 of the greatest characters - and the voice acting was sensational

Heart-warming and very funny!

I have listened to all the Middle Falls Time Travel books so far and I have to say this might be my favourite one yet! There were so many times I laughed out loud! The relationship between Charles and Moondog was perfect! Moondogs unwavering acceptance of Charles and his tale every time was comforting. The ending is truly heart warming! I am looking forward to more Middle Falls to come and hope these characters make an appearance - much like the other characters did in this one.
