The Kaleidoscope series by Michael Frost Beckner consists of six books published between 2024 and 2025, each titled after a holiday or special occasion. The series progresses through the calendar: 4th of July, Birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Kaleidoscope New Year’s Day. This structure gives the series a natural progression through a year.
The holiday-based naming convention suggests stories anchored to specific moments and the emotions that come with them. The series is a departure from Beckner’s thriller and historical fiction work, moving into contemporary fiction territory. All six books were published within about a year, maintaining the rapid publication pace that characterizes Beckner’s novel-writing career.
