The Qaraq and the Maya Factor Launch!
I’m over the moon (and maybe one or two past lives beyond it) to announce the launch of Book 2 of The Reincarnation Chronicles: The Qaraq and the Maya Factor.
When I first outlined this series, I knew each book would center on a theme—but I had no clue what Book Two’s theme would be. Then, just days before writing it, inspiration whacked me upside the head (thank you, cosmic scheduler).
I realized I spend way too much time wrestling with trivial daily nonsense—lost keys, endless emails, socks that definitely disappear into another dimension. What if my beloved band of soul-friends, the qaraq, had to deal with the same distractions… only on a cosmic scale?
Thus, Book Two was born.

“The more you read this incredible book, the more it blurs the lines between the stories, mythology, science and your own life. It is as if you start to feel yourself part of this epic journey.“
What to Expect in The Qaraq and the Maya FactorIf you’ve read Book One, The Qaraq, you know the setup: a group of intertwined souls discover they’ve lived countless lives together, recalling their past life stories in a 1001 Nights-style weave of history, fantasy, and mischief.
But in Book Two, something goes terribly wrong. Their extraordinary gift of memory is… slipping away. Enter the Maya Factor—a force that traps them in illusions, banality, and distraction. Think Netflix binges, laundry piles, estranged exes who just won’t quit.
Yes, our heroine, Sahara Fleming, passionate Arabic scholar and the Scheherazade of the series, faces a complication: her estranged husband, Amar Rash, won’t stop trying to win her back. Their chemistry is undeniable, but the qaraq’s past-life stories hint that there’s something darker beneath their romance.
As the group struggles with regaining their lost memory, they uncover eerie connections: ancient tombs, an alien performing arts school, a seventeenth-century coven.
Are they unraveling the grand design that has shaped them for centuries? Or are they just spinning in yet another illusion?
Will the qaraq fight through Maya’s fog to remember who they truly are? Or will they remain stuck in the illusion, unable to see past the trivia of daily life?

“The sheer scope of the author’s imagination is exciting; the infinite, often magical detail that adorns each story compels close reading.”
“I have never seen characters live past lives as plants, animals, or mermaids and mermen. This is fiction at its most inventive.”
“In this volume, the characters have lived in many forms, including a lovesick mermaid, frolicking dogs, and a horny glacier.”
“Fantastical imaginings of other worlds is Mr. Weinstock’s signature motif—I look forward to every lyric twist and comic turn.”
