Here's a new story, started a while ago, finished the other day under the inspiration of Peter Jackson's splendid The Beatles: Gat Back movie. Read it for FREE, any time: "It's Real Life" -- an alternate history tale about The Beatles.
Poets, musicians, and critics are saying ...
- "Just read this alternate history on the Beatles. Cool stuff. I want to check out those tunnels and find the reality where they never broke up." -- Joel McKinnon, Seldon Crisis
- "'The question was, how could he get back to the world he knew?' By the power of creativity of course. This story reminded me of the short dark and a bit surreal stories of Edgar Allan Poe. I really enjoyed this story." -- Grzegorz Kwiatkowski, Trupa Trupa
- "Clever and fun. Love the slide into alternity — with a deft little nod to Poe. The sense of New York comes through front and center. Love the Conrail detail. And is that a hat tip to TZ’s “Willoughby”? Why yes, I think it is." -- John McDaid
- “Paul Levinson's fiction is always challenging, daring and imaginative. But this story…this ranks among his best. It thrills me in every way.” -- Mark Shanahan, A Sherlock Carol
And here's a video from two years and a half years ago, where I read the very beginning of "It's Real Life" at Readercon, a science fiction convention in Braintree, MA:
And if you'd like a very inexpensive copy of this story on Kindle:
