Sweet…validation. “The Bookish Wanderers Club has selected you for the 2025 Author Excellence Award for Outstanding Contributions to Literature. This recognition comes directly from your readers, who have been deeply moved by the depth, […]
Author: Gary G. Wise - Author - Grief Coach
Unsupervised, unfiltered, and occasionally undisciplined Writer of Things that thrill readers with engaging stories created by a seasoned storyteller.
I’ve often heard the phrase “don’t write a check your ‘body’ can’t cash” in the context of something physical or challenging that exceeds one’s perceived capability. But what if the demands faced are more cerebral? Replace ‘body’ with ‘mind’ and reread it. The same principle applies for the most part, but now the ‘heart’ becomes […]

My marketing Jedi has requested an update bio, so here it is…until the next iteration… Gary G. Wise is a redeployed, unsupervised, and occasionally undisciplined Writer of Things living as a free-range author under the influence of his Relentless Wench Muse, who manages to remain just out of reach.

Swim to the Current – Zackery Hightower was the crackerjack software engineer responsible for the homegrown AI platform at the heart of Dreamscape technology’s evolution. Book #1 revealed how badly the CSU research team needed AI and why. This second book finds reluctant agreement; however, they must first find the talent to drive the integration. […]
Pharma Thugs – Destroying the Psych Lab at CSU and everything in it proved not to be enough to satisfy Big Pharma’s not-so-subtle way of discouraging any further research. Even with total destruction, the attack failed because Dr. Cara Williams walked away. So, what’s next? Go to Plan B, right? If she’s not at work, […]
In the Dreamscape series, there always seems to be a lot of skirmishes spaced out between periods of pending chaos. That’s not an apology; it’s more of a prediction. I confess to sprinkling in a few lighter moments in the slack periods in ‘pending chaos’ to catch one’s breath. That’s not an apology or trolling […]
Covert AI Takeover I never expected to rediscover a ten-year-old, 3,000-word short story, “Dreamweaver,” lying dormant and forgotten in the depths of a blog I’ve owned since 2009. I never expected it to evolve into a five-book series called “Dreamscape Conspiracy.” Artificial Intelligence (AI) was never considered a key component of the storyline until the […]
Dreaming is a personal experience. We don’t share dreams unless we choose to talk about what we can recall. Typically, dreams are active in our minds while we sleep, and end upon waking, sometimes remembered, sometimes not. We dream every night, regardless of our mind’s ability to recall details, and every one of the details […]
