Michael Thompson has been a successful journalist, producer and media executive for the last fifteen years. He now co-owns a podcast production company and is the co-host of one of the highest-ranked podcasts in Australia. He lives in Sydney with his wife and two young children. ‘How to be Remembered’ is his first novel.

Some lives are simply unforgettable…

On an ordinary night in an ordinary year, Tommy Llewellyn’s doting parents wake in a home without toys or nappies, without photos of their baby scattered about, and without any idea that the small child asleep in his cot is theirs.

That’s because Tommy is a boy destined to never be remembered.

On the same day every year, everyone around him forgets he exists, and he grows up enduring his own universal Reset. That is until something extraordinary happens: Tommy Llewellyn falls in love.

Determined to finally carve out a life for himself and land the girl of his dreams, Tommy sets out on a mission to trick the universe and be remembered. But legacies aren’t so easily won, and Tommy must figure out what’s more important – the things we leave behind or the people we bring along with us.

‘How to be Remembered’ is a heart-warming, poignant and ultimately inspiring novel about the important things in life.
