1001, The Reincarnation Chronicles
A visionary series exploring karma, memory, and the complex connections across lifetimes.
Modeled after The Thousand and One Nights, framed by a modern Scheherazade story, and conjuring a new past life tale in each chapter.
1001: The Reincarnation Chronicles is a fantasy series about a qaraq — a group of connected souls who discover they have shared lifetime after lifetime.
The Qaraq
The Qaraq (Book 1) is your essential entry point into the 1001 universe—where Sahara Fleming first discovers her qaraq, the souls who’ve traveled with her through countless lifetimes.
Start here, or you’ll be as lost as a soul without its karmic compass…
The Qaraq (Book 1)
Meet Sahara Fleming. Her life—and her mind—fractures when she discovers she’s part of a soul group that remembers past lives.
Begin the journey where everything begins.
“He plays with an amazing musical instrument … creating battles and intrigue, lurid sex orgies, spies and betrayers … the list of vistas generated one after the other as one turns the pages, defies description!”
Iva Kenaz, author, The Goddess Within
What is a Qaraq?
A Qaraq is a soul group—bound together by lifetimes of karmic memory. The 1001 series explores these connections through reincarnation, myth, and the soul’s search for truth.
In their present lifetimes, the ten diverse personas, the qaraqis, meet, love, betray, and sort out their myriad karmic relationships.
The Journey of the Qaraq: Reading Order
You’ve completed the first leg of an epic journey with The Qaraq—Book One of 1001, The Reincarnation Chronicles. Now you know Sahara Fleming’s story has only just begun, the qaraq has revealed its first secrets, and everything is starting to make karmic sense.
Book 2, The Qaraq and the Maya Factor, launched on 10/01/25.
The new edition of Book 3 is coming in 2026!
Each book builds upon the last, deepening the mystery of who these souls are and why they keep finding each other across lifetimes.
You started with Book 1—now trust the journey as this karmic puzzle continues to unfold…
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.
“His book is written in an amusing tone, sometimes leaping into stream-of-consciousness, purely lyrical one minute and street-wise the next. Physics, metaphysics, mythology and fabulism slip into and out of each other.”
– Robin Gregory, author, The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman

From Many Dear Readers…
“Erotically charged, funny and imaginative, it is a New Age-ey version of magical realism.”
“Stephen Weinstock brings distant history back to life, embroidering it with colorful fictions, weaving continued adventures of the contemporary characters’ past life memories.”
“In one chapter, we are privy to the ruminations of a bacterial cell resident in some human’s gastrointestinal tract. Having previously lived life as an ungrateful homo sapien, we encounter this “soul” living out its life sentence as a bacterial cell. The lesson: do NOT take human existence for granted!”

“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
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.
1001 lifetimes in an 11-book literary fantasy.
