Stories That Question Reality and Explore Humanity

Discover the imaginative world of Kurt Niece, author of The Change, a thought-provoking science fiction novel where an extraordinary event transforms ordinary lives into something far beyond imagination.

The Mind Behind The Change

Kurt Niece lives and writes in Tucson, Arizona. Inspired by the breathtaking beauty of the Sonoran Desert, he is equally fascinated by national and global events, with a particular interest in political adventurism surrounding matters of religion.

An eternal optimist, Kurt envisions a more harmonious, utopian world—one liberated from the constraints of dogma and shaped by reason, curiosity, and the possibility of a better future.

The Change

Katey Atwood is the thread connecting a remarkable 60-year saga. Born just a few years before The Change, a mysterious event that reshapes the world, Katey witnesses the disappearance of hundreds of millions of people—a catastrophe occurring simultaneously with an accelerator mishap in Bern, Switzerland.

Those who remain are different, ushering in a new Age of Reason, a golden era marked by extraordinary spiritual and technological breakthroughs. As Katey grows into adulthood, her exceptional brilliance as a scientist and quantum physicist leads her toward a discovery with the power to redefine humanity itself.

But as humanity reaches toward a brighter future, darker forces begin to rise again. Determined to restore the conservative dogma of the past, they target Katey, her groundbreaking research, and the future she represents.

The Change is an ambitious and deeply hopeful novel about transformation, discovery, and the resilience of the human spirit. It envisions a world reborn—and humanity’s chance to begin again, despite the odds.

The Awakening

In the days that follow, ordinary people begin manifesting abilities and perceptions that defy the laws of physics. The world’s order fractures. And somewhere in the Arizona desert, the truth lies buried beneath ancient stone.

The Convergence

Five strangers. One impossible event. A web of connections stretching across space and time. As the Change deepens, they must confront the greatest question of all: is this an ending — or a beginning?
