Paragraph Planet has been Invaded by The Reality Hackers

Today, June 4, 2023, Paragraph Planet has published a 75-word scene from The Reality Hackers.  

 

Undawnted has placed this snippet in the Trailers section of the page for future reference. 

_____

What if the quantum universe resides in our minds? That our consciousness is the means for reality? ...then what would happen if someone toyed with the multiverse, universe of your mind? Justin Chisum finds out, doesn't like what he sees, and tries to correct the paradox, but will his actions cost him his existence?   

A scifi classic in the making, The Reality Hackers is based on scientific facts and studies as well as personal experiences.  

__________

"...Quite original."

"'The Reality Hackers' sounds truly frightening!" 

"Definitely thought-provoking."  

"[DL Mullan]’s story sounds frightening...! I enjoyed learning about its inspiration. Scary and weird facts mixed in there."

"This story struck me as being very scary cutting edge science fiction, the kind that makes one ponder the 'what ifs'. I'm sure readers will enjoy it immensely."

Adam Gaffen Interviews...DL Mullan! on The Cassidy Chronicles

The last interview with Undawnted's creative spark, DL Mullan, was such a success that we decided to an encore!

Adam Gaffen of The Cassidy Chronicles spent some time with our artist, novelist, and poet. The published article is: Adam Interviews...DL Mullan!

Ms. Mullan discusses her latest creative writes with Adam. From the scifi, fantasy consciousness novelette, The Reality Hackers to the scifi, paranormal horror story, Mangled, DL Mullan relays to readers how genres can be combined for maximum effectiveness. In addition, she speaks about her foray into competitive short story writing and how these external writing prompts have given rise to stories like The Jonah Collector. 

The takeaway from the interview is how DL Mullan views creative writing, digital art, poetry, and the imagination:

"Writing is the undiscovered country hidden in the recesses of our own minds. Find yours in one of my publications. You will never think of things in the same way again." 

We want to thank Adam Gaffen for the fine interview questions and giving DL Mullan the chance to express her creative consciousness. 

Please head on over and read: Adam Interviews...DL Mullan!

Mangled is being Edited for a Horror Anthology

Mangled is a short story that will be submitted for an anthology set to be released in Autumn 2023. I am currently editing the project based on a few actual events, technology, medicine, and warfare. The narrative is a science fiction, paranormal horror story. 

Have you ever heard of a morgue's black toe tag? Pray that one is never issued to you.

Here is the synopsis: 

The only survivor of a roadside bomb, Specialist Sarah Mitchell lives most people's nightmare. Her entire squad is killed. In the bustle of a busy emergency triage center, she is forgotten. 

 

Worse than being ignored, once she is reevaluated, she is then abandoned by the medical personnel. In order to take care of other soldiers who might live, she is given a black morgue tag, left tied down on a gurney where she waits for death in a dark corner of a foreign hospital.

When she survives until morning, others come to claim her. One by the use of technology and the other by energetic consciousness, but both manipulate the quantum singularity. In an experiment to merge human consciousness with machine, which will consume Sarah, what will she do? 

Will she continue to serve her country in another capacity? Or, will she choose the unknown and walk into eternity with a complete stranger?

No matter what Sarah decides: living forever has its consequences.

For more information and upcoming news, be sure to visit Mangled here on Undawnted. 

This story is a part of Undawnted's Exclusive Legacy Universe. The short story version will be released in the anthology. The novelette will be dropped in spring 2024. 

Have a great and wonderful day!

Ms. Mullan will be discussing her Legacy Universe, her mythology books, and the newly released origin story: The Reality Hackers. 

 

Legacy is a global crime-fighting unit dedicated to defending humanity against the  negative effects of supernatural forces. A paranormal law enforcement division, through specified taskforces within Legacy, sends special agents to investigate and halt activities against the mortal realm. All the while, the organization keeps humanity ignorant of its existence and the unseen forces behind the everyday curtain of normalcy.

When ghouls, goblins, magicians, sorcerers, werewolves, and the plethora of undead become rogue actors, who are you going to call? The Special Agents with the Legacy Taskforce.

If there are paranormal problems, you can bet that one of their special agents has already been assigned to the task.

Nothing is what it seems.

Legacy special agents are what monsters fear. 

Come, and learn more about this multi-book series, plus her poetry chapbooks. 

It will be an exciting day of movies, music, and mayhem! ...as well as contests and giveaways!

See you there!

What People are Saying about The Reality Hackers

My Supernatural Superhero Series, the Legacy Universe, has science fiction's newest classic in the making: The Reality Hackers, and the short story version is available in Visions anthology. 

What is The Reality Hackers?

When a group of scientists corrupts reality and creates a consciousness paradox, one man, Justin Chisum, decides to stand against his former research partner, Bernard Chester, and correct the problem. 

Justin must find and convince his other partner, Emma Gillespie that her world is inverted as well as his and hopes that she will help him defeat Bernard's planned ascension, which left unchallenged will create a destructive quantum singularity.

Will Justin make it in time to save the universe from certain annihilation? Or, will his plan fail because he believes what Bernard's reality creates for him: a fairy tale illusion of reality?

People are Talking: The Reality Hackers

My Supernatural Superhero Series, the Legacy Universe, has begun with the short story: The Reality Hackers. 

The narrative is set in three different timelines: the past, present, and future in a quantum reality. Only two men remember what is the original reality versus the parallel universes that have been created in their struggle. A few others are made aware of the consciousness paradox. In the end, the question isn't: what is reality? The question is: what reality do you want to live?

Would you live your life on your terms? Or, would you live a life someone chooses for you? 

That is The Reality Hackers. 

Joseph Carrabis has an article up with more details on his website called: DL Mullan's "The Reality Hackers" now in Visions anthology. Please leave him a comment!
