Overview

When Danny Maytree, a talented but conflicted young 1970s film actor, met Samantha on a blind date and fell in love, he decided he no longer cared about Tinseltown stardom. Now married, and in their seventies, they find a dog whose faded tag has the name ""Tali"" and a Beverly Hills phone prefix from fifty years earlier. Writing a time travel novel in 2021, Danny gets a call from a mysterious, velvet-voiced acting agent. He has a meeting tomorrow. Now, Danny's in Beverly Hills-not at the meeting, but in the elegant home where he lived in 1974, forty-seven years ago. He is twenty-seven again, bewildered, but with a second chance at his Hollywood dream. But Sam is not in this world. Unhappy in his new ""now,"" he realizes his journey back to ""Kansas"" hinges on the magic of film. A sharkish agent helps him navigate Hollywood's rocky shoals. A worldly-wise teen, and a New Age fortune teller offer spiritual advice. And a sexy, wicked witch throws a monkey wrench in his path.

""Clever dialogue ... Intriguing complications ... A life-affirming ending ... A feel-good, entertaining blend of humor, philosophy, and romance, with a time-slip twist."" - Kirkus. ""An alluring adventure."" - Publishers Weekly ""Readers of time travel stories are in for a special treat, because Hello, Rest Of My Life isn't your usual saga of becoming stuck in the past and searching for the way home. Its special blend of philosophical and moral dilemmas, flavored with humor and a heavy dash of romance, sets it apart from other, more singular accounts ... The proof of superior writing lies in the little details ... The events give readers plenty of thought-provoking moments as Danny reaches for truths in the past, that he'd never allowed himself to consider in his former life with Sam."" - Midwest Book Review ""In Hello Rest of My Life Rick Lenz has written a compelling thriller-love story-time traveling saga for readers not interested in Highlanders or the ripped bodice romance or the dystopian worlds of hovercraft and alien planets. Finding himself forty-seven years back in time, Danny now with the wisdom of an old man and the gullibility of youth, has to choose between a re-do of a crashed Hollywood acting career in the 1970s and returning to Samantha, the love of his life, in 2021. An extraordinary book."" - New York Times best selling author Bret Easton Ellis ""At the heart of this time-travel adventure is a golden age love story that glows with life-tested wisdom. Rick Lenz proves once again that he's a master story teller."" - Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey, author of A Woman of Independent Means
