When Did You Stop Chasing Fireflies?

When Did You Stop Chasing Fireflies?

Have you ever wondered if there’s more to life than the career you built?

After 41 years behind a desk, Jack Harper receives a gold watch, a forced retirement, and a question he can’t answer: Now what?

Nothing But Time by Scott Taylor is a story for everyone who has ever felt the walls of routine closing in—and wondered if it’s too late to break free.When Jack inherits a forgotten farmhouse from a friend he’d lost touch with, he discovers something unexpected: a vintage radio that seems to tune into more than just old broadcasts. Through its amber glow, he reconnects with memories of Sunday dinners at his grandmother’s table, fireflies caught in mason jars, and the simple wisdom of people who knew that living and existing aren’t the same thing .

This book is for you if:

  • You remember when families gathered around the radio
  • You’ve ever traded “someday” for “not today”
  • You know the bittersweet ache of remembering simpler times
  • You believe second chances don’t have expiration dates

“We were never supposed to be machines. We were supposed to be men.” 

This is a story that waited decades to find its readers. Perhaps it was waiting for you.

Because it’s never too late to stop and smell the roses.
