The End of Time
A standalone novella
By Karyne Norton
Renee’s job for Serendipity is simple: she relocates families to the past so they don’t die when the asteroid hits Earth in five years. On top of a paycheck, she earns her own time travel slot to escape the end of the world. Everyone wins.
But then Beckham shows up in her office, claiming she sent him from the past to find her. On top of that, he wants her help taking Serendipity down. As much as she likes the idea of sticking it to some of her bosses, she also really likes the idea of being alive after the Earth is destroyed.
But as Beckham spills more secrets about the dangers of time travel, Renee is forced to decide between securing her own happy ending and preserving thousands of others.

The Things We Can Change
By Karyne Norton
Coming to Retailers 2.23.26
Change the past to embrace a new future…
Rae has no interest in being a hero who changes the past, but in her grief she signs up for time travel anyway, eager for its guaranteed side effect: memory loss. She’s paired up with Beau, who’s determined to stop the release of the Mortem virus that’s decimated the population. Tasked to remain in the future as Rae’s handler, it’s his job to convince her amnesic mind that the voice in her head is real and she’s the world’s only hope for preventing the deadly outbreak.
But when Rae is kidnapped by an anti-time travel faction soon after her arrival in the past, it’s clear she wasn’t the only traveler sent back for this mission—a mission this new faction claims is outright impossible. With mere weeks before the research facility’s bombing releases the virus, Rae and Beau scramble to find a way to stop Mortem. Now that enemies lurk in both the past and future, they’re no longer fighting just to stop an outbreak—they’re fighting for their lives.
The Things We Can Change is a standalone science fiction thriller with time travel, viral outbreaks, amnesia, and a dash of sweet romance. It launches on Kickstarter in Fall 2025!
