An Old Soul
"It's YOUR world."

A brilliant and compulsively readable mystery that tugs on the fabric of reality, and explores what it might mean for humanity if we didn't have to lose our loved ones...at least not in the way we think.

In 1996 Chicago, twenty-five-year-old Isaac André feels like a stranger in his own life-until the world starts whispering back. The coincidences are too uncanny to ignore, but for now, they're all happening in his favor.

When Isaac buys his first computer and enters an internet chatroom, The Grassy Knoll, dedicated to conspiracy theorists, he wants to know if anyone else is experiencing a constant feeling of being watched, a nagging feeling of displacement and unease.

That's when Isaac (ElectricSheep7) meets the magnetic Noa Gayle (BirdGurl9), a mysterious stranger that shares his love for Terminator movies, Philip K. Dick, and all things sci-fi.

Isaac and Noa's soul connection feels fated, but as it deepens, so do the secrets between them.

A spell-binding literary novel, An Old Soul deftly traverses the porous membranes between coincidence and destiny, and dreams and reality, as Isaac and Noa defy the forces of the universe to be together.

About the Author

M. Kevin Hayden is a novelist from the South Side of Chicago, where he grew up surrounded by storefront churches, corner stores, and the quiet echo of stories waiting to be told. His work blends emotional realism with speculative mystery, always rooted in place, memory, and the magic tucked inside ordinary lives.Hayden's fiction explores what it means to belong-to a person, a time, or a world that might be slipping away. Inspired by the works of Emily St. John Mandel, Stephen King, and Audrey Niffenegger, his debut novel An Old Soul is a slow-burn mystery of love, memory, and unraveling reality, set against the backdrop of 1996 Chicago.He writes for anyone who has ever felt out of place in their own life, and hopes to remind them they're not alone.He now lives somewhere quiet, surrounded by trees, words, and the occasional flash of something just beyond the veil.
