Empath (Flawed Book 1)
Supernatural empathy isn’t a gift, it’s a curse. Anywhere
she goes, Jade’s emotions are replaced by those of the people around her.
Jade grew up in a suburb of Colorado Springs, protected from other people by
her parents. Now she faces college—and the world—with nothing to shield her
from unwanted feelings.
When Cam, a classmate with a major crush on her, unintentionally hijacks her
emotions, Jade struggles to keep from being carried away in feelings of attraction.
When Ethan, a psychopath with a thirst for fear, fixates on her, the emotional
impact could be lethal.
Caught in a deadly trap, Jade must untangle the emotions and find a way to use
her empathic curse to overcome this killer or be overcome by him.
Outsider (Flawed Book 2)
After a psychopath tried to kill his friends, Josh Schuyler figured
'normal' was far off. The real problem: Josh's friends have all acquired
supernatural abilities, while he's still the same average guy.
Josh has always believed he was destined for greatness, but he's been out of
college for two years without a clue of his purpose. After watching his friends
and siblings develop superhuman traits, he wonders if he might be meant for
something grand, too. Can Josh even hope for an extraordinary event in his own
future? And how long must he wait for this transformation - if there is one?
When Alex met the Schuylers, she was grateful for new friends to whisk her away
from her lonely life in California and give her an escape from her divorced,
bickering parents and aimless future. But Josh won't drop his defenses, and Alex
isn't sure she wants to trade her old life for this new, uncertain one.
Nicodemus has an amazing ability he's been milking for years to get whatever or
whomever he wants. Things are going great until a young woman - Alex -
inadvertently busts his latest swindle. Nic is furious when he discovers his
power has been disabled, and he vows to find her in order to wreak his
vengeance. She will be punished. All he needs is a little help from his friend,
Ethan Black.
Josh has been waiting for his big break, or for the chance to be a hero, or
just the opportunity to stand out in his own, extraordinary way.
Will Josh discover his purpose in time to stop Nic?

Pulled (A Flawed Short Story)
Eight-year-old Juniper has been labeled many things—troubled
kid, orphan, runaway—but none of her foster families have known what she really
is: a girl with a unique and brutally inconvenient ability to teleport.
Her spontaneous jumps are not only beyond her control, they get her into
trouble. When Juniper disappears, no one believes her wild stories, so she's
stopped trying to convince them.
One day when Juniper gets pulled away, finding her way back is harder than
ever. Stranded on the side of a deserted highway, she must rely on her own
instincts to determine who is a creepy stranger and who she can trust.
Resourcefulness may get her home, but is getting home enough when you don't
have parents that love you?
Juniper knows something most people don’t: there are others like her with
unexplained abilities. Until now, she’s exercised stranger-danger caution, but
maybe these people can offer what she needs.
Will Juniper find a family she can share her secrets with?
Approximately 7000 words.
Author Bio:
An avid lover of stories that tiptoe the line between
fantasy and reality (even when they plunge off one side or the other), Becca J.
Campbell looks for new angles on bridging the gap between the two. She holds a
special place in her heart for any story that involves superpowers or time
travel. Her passion is defying the limits of her own creativity.
Becca’s journey into writing began as many of her other
creative endeavors do – by daring herself to try something new. The question
“what if I wrote a novel?” and some hastily scribbled notes on a church handout
were the inspirations that jump-started her first book. Since then, she has
written half a dozen additional novels and several shorter works.
As the wife of a musician and mother of three young boys,
Becca’s life is never dull. Whether it is writing, painting or knitting, she
enjoys making stuff that wasn’t there before.
She also runs an Etsy shop at
UpCycledChicByBecca where
you can order custom painted or knitted items and more.
