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 […]

Think of living and working in an environment where the AI is not only an external system but also an active presence, another voice in your head. It can be quite entertaining…for the AI, in this case, AIMEE, observing her offspring, Amelia Amethys, in her first sparring match, highjacked by Celeste, who uncharacteristically unloaded on […]
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, […]
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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I enjoy engaging in dialogue with readers who are prompted to share their thoughts. It is personally fulfilling to know the words have been read and the associated story seen through the eyes of a reader. The added thrill for me is when some of the more subtle elements of a story are recognized in […]
“Mirror Mirror: Halloween Party of the Century” This paranormal tale started as a short story until the Relentless Wench Muse whispered into my ear, “Finish this one, Mate!” So we did, and I have added another addiction to my list – writing paranormal thrillers. Sandy Tillman, the protagonist in Mirror Mirror, coasts comfortably through life […]
