Limited-time offer: only $0.99 on all major ebook platforms!
Frank Hess wakes to find his own body lifeless in a hospital bed. His wife is screaming, the doctors are frozen in time, and he can’t touch a thing. Then a man made of light appears and tells him the truth: Frank is dead, and he’s been chosen to become an Observer.
As an Observer, Frank’s new purpose is to watch over the living and protect them from unseen forces that twist fate toward chaos. Guided by Michael, a mentor who seems to know more than he admits, Frank learns to navigate the fragile balance between destiny and free will. But the more he sees, the harder it becomes to stay detached.
The Observer is a supernatural urban fantasy about the cost of compassion and the danger of playing witness to every tragedy in the world. As Frank confronts what it truly means to save others, he’ll discover that some lessons can only be learned after death.
Perfect for fans of The Good Place, American Gods, and What Dreams May Come, The Observer is a thought-provoking journey through life, death, and the choices that echo beyond both. Available now for just $0.99.

Author Bio:
Brian Thompson writes supernatural urban fantasy with an edge, exploring how spirits, myth and the unseen collide with the everyday. His debut novel, The Observer (Book 1 of The Spirit Saga), reached Amazon Kindle #1 bestseller in Inspirational Spiritual Fiction and was a runner-up in the 2025 PenCraft Book Award (Paranormal Fiction).
When he’s not charting the afterlife and spirit realms, Brian digs into fringe science, experiments with 3D-printing gadgets, and consumes RPG content. He lives in the Twin Cities region of Minnesota, and on any given Saturday you might find him tinkering with his 3D-printer, reading up on quantum mechanics, or scribbling notes on the next twist in the saga.
He believes stories should challenge what we see, what we believe, and ultimately what we are capable of.
