Zackery Hightower of Central State University in Carteret County, North Carolina, knew he would eventually have to face the wrath of his AI creation. One would think that his role as a sophisticated AI application engineer gave him the freedom to upload changes, apply patches, or make coding modifications as necessary without checking in with […]

“Dead Thoughts,” the fourth book in the Dreamscape Conspiracy series, delves into how (or if) Dreamscape 3.0, the AI-driven dream-capture technology, can record brain activity during periods when an individual is not sleeping …but comatose or in a shallow state of unconsciousness and unable to speak. Could they experience dreaming outside REM sleep due to […]
Here’s a sneak peek into “Undaunted,” to be released by the first of the year. “Undaunted” is book #6 in the Dreamscape Conspiracy series and will not disappoint. Some context… This chapter focuses mainly on the relationship between the AI Humanoid, Amelia Amethys, and Marci, one of the psych team members, who has been assigned […]
As an author, I receive a ton of unsolicited messages from a range of folks —most with no selling skills, tact, or limited capabilities —but plenty of promises that almost read as though they were scripted… like an AI bot would support trolling. I delete most because they have done no pre-call planning. They know […]
One thing that will trigger a Marine to go ballistic is experiencing manipulation of his loyalty that puts him and his squad at risk. For Russ, the only thing, other than manipulation, was when it was totally unnecessary, and because it had been self-inflicted. His professional default trained him to rely upon himself, and so […]
In “Untethered,” I write in different stories within the main story that are ultimately about Artificial Intelligence (AI) evolving and learning how to exist off a network like an organic (human). What is fascinating to me is how the organics (the main characters) in the story handle what’s happening to them because of the presence […]
Plenty said… None of the AI-driven Humanoids were human despite the human-like capabilities built into their software architecture. What I found fascinating was how Zackary’s unique software design genius added human-like emotional qualities to the original Logic Array algorithm. The high-profile code modifications he made during the creation of AIMEE enabled baseline emotional attributes of […]
After choosing “Mirror Mirror” off the library shelf because of a weathered leather binding and ornate golden text almost invisible on the spine, Sandy was on her way to an adventure she never considered possible. Hearing a strange male voice in her head telling her she now possessed the book and suggesting she read it, […]
With October 31st just around the corner, I thought “Mirror Mirror” had some seasonal appeal, despite this adventure stemming from an outrageous Halloween party that started well but ended in disaster. The party itself was great if one ignored a double murder that thwarted an attempted molestation in the library. Oh, and then the hard-to-ignore […]
Dreaming is a personal experience. We do not share dreams unless we choose to talk about what we recall. Ordinarily, dreams are active in our minds while we sleep, and end upon waking, sometimes remembered, sometimes not. Regardless of our mind’s ability to recall the dream’s content, all our dreams belong to us. Until they […]
