The Qaraq
In Book One, Sahara Fleming’s marriage and sanity shatter when she discovers the qaraq, a group of soul-neighbors with the power to remember any lifetime. Sahara glimpses relentless, terrifying, wondrous immortality.
The Qaraq and the Maya Factor
In Book Two, the qaraq loses its power to recall past lives, due to the blinding force of Maya, the Hindu concept of everyday illusion. Can Sahara regain her power and her family? Will the qaraq evolve?
The Qaraq and the Subversive Manuscript
In Book Three, the qaraq deals with the trauma of 9/11, and discovers its past lives in 1001 AD Cordova, where it created a multi-cultural version of the 1001 Nights that threatened any empire.

ABOUT STEPHEN WEINSTOCK
“Stephen Weinstock’s imagination is fevered, surreal, fantastical. It will take you places you never dreamed you would go.”
Barry Jay Kaplan, author, Black Orchid
Musician, teacher, and author of 1001, The Reincarnation Chronicles:
An intricate past life history of a qaraq, a group of souls with endless relationships.
In my past life before 1001, I created music for theater, opera, and dance. But then I had the idea of a novel puzzling out an intricate past life history between a group of souls. I still bring dancers to ecstasy with my improvisations, but I have entered the world of metempsychosis, time-honored storytelling, and Scheherazade.
