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 […]
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 […]
