Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be programmed, or its logic architected, if you’d rather, to mimic human emotions. AIMEE’s maturity walks a fine line between mimicry and authenticity. Zack never wanted there to be a line. He wanted AIMEE to exceed him, her creator, and she did by creating Amelia Amethys, an AI-driven Humanoid. Was that […]

Book #6 – “Undaunted” is moving ahead slowly, but I feel the pace will turn out to be a good thing. The ten killer Humanoids that the research team wants nothing to do with are now linked to the team more than can be tolerated. Could the fact that all of the Humanoids belonging to […]
The opportunity to engage with readers is a highlight for me as an author. The dialog that follows is a perfect example of the kind of engagement I enjoy most. The following questions are courtesy of members of the Booksta Book Club, one of the largest online reading communities for engaged readers. This was my first […]
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, […]
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 […]
Never Trust an AI AIMEE has been part of the CSU research team for the last three Dreamscape books, and if there were a loyal AI, she would be my first choice. Amelia Amethys, the AI Humanoid clone created by AIMEE as her planned ticket off the network that held her hostage, had loyalty to […]
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 […]
