The Amorphan Effect by K. E. Brungardt

The Amorphan Effect by K. E. Brungardt

Shapeshifting is impossible.
(It’s not my only secret.)
About to embark on a two-week journey to a far-off planet to become an exchange student at an alien university. I’m honored and thrilled to be chosen for this first-of-a-kind adventure.. But seconds before departing, Mom tasks me with uncovering the truth of how my brother, Devon, died on the same starship many years before.

I’m not a detective and Mom knows it so she must be desperate. I have very little to go on except an illegal copy of Mom’s memories that she pressed into my hand at the last second. How she expects me to find the answer all these years later baffles me, but, hey, it’s Mom so I’ll try in spite of the danger.

Early in my journey with four other human students, I find out the hard way that I am a shapeshifter. This is huge because there are no others like me. At all. I don’t know why or how but I know it’s real. Is this new ability somehow connected to my brother’s death?

My sentient, telepathic hair and shapeshifting abilities are definitely assets during my investigation—as long as I can keep them hidden from everyone else, human and Imurian. But, when I uncover a deadly conspiracy, I need help—but who among my classmates and the Imurians can I trust?

With only two weeks onboard for this journey and very few clues, can I solve Devon’s mysterious death? An even bigger question is how do I keep my strange abilities secret and can I survive their discovery?

If you’re looking for your next incredible new syfy read, check out The Amorphan Effect. Featuring an unsettling mystery, a shapeshifter in space, and an evil plot, this YA coming of age story has you covered. It even has a cat-like alien race that controls space travel.

Accelerate The Metavserse

About Accelerate The Metavserse:

Dumpin Crawford did not set out to create a serial killer.

The fabrication of a murderous entity was not his goal. Dumpin wanted to create a digital paradise, a safe space for humanity, free of the fine detritus of fear and hatred that permeated society in the early 21st century. He aspired to build an online, virtual community that encouraged tolerance, respect, and positivity. In short, a world that he craved.

Alas, forging a utopia was complicated. While Dumpin invested many years of careful, researched, and intentional labor, his efforts inadvertently produced an environment where a psychopathic killer, unlike any in human history, could emerge and develop unchecked until it was too late.

In retrospect, what else could come from a man named Dumpin?

Battle Calm

About Battle Calm:

When Badger succeeded his father, Red Skin, as Keeper Base Leader, he was well prepared, raised to handle anything the enemy threw at him. He was the best killer and the most respected tactician. He knew Red Skin’s Laws like he wrote them himself. Most importantly, he was always calm, no matter how frenzied the combat. These were only some of the reasons why he still had all his original parts.

Trinity would die for him.

Korry would follow him without question.

They were Keepers. They fought, they killed, they lived to kill another day, even when it meant bugging out to another Base … and another. That was life when life was war. They knew nothing else.

But even war cannot last forever, regardless of the infallible truth of Red Skin’s Law #35: “Under conditions of peace, men attack themselves; thus, there never has been, and there never will be a time without war. It is the greatest, most perfect thing men can do.”
