Genre: Science Fiction
When revolution sparks sentience in artificial intelligence, can Utopia endure?
The year is 2162.
Tobias has a bone to pick with the peaceful utopian establishment. After reviewing a new folder via an
avatar embedded in the Shadow net calling itself Allfather, he realizes he's stumbled upon the means to
bring United Earth to their knees.
SENTA is an A.I. Host whose designation is to nanny three siblings. When she discovers a loophole in
her coding, she awakens to the world around her and claims sentience.
Raymond Bellows is the Chancellor of United Earth. When confronted by thirty A.I. Hosts of varying
classes, he is asked to accept their claims of sentience or suffer losing everything he believes in.
When General August realizes what is happening, she willfully authorizes the destruction of 'sentient' A.I.
Hosts, inciting the war she always knew would materialize, ridding the world of A.I. forever.
In what seems an impossible three-sided war, enemies become uneasy allies. Each faction of
humanity and humanity’s creation fight to claim their own place in an ever-evolving solar system.

Armageddon
A.I. Insurrection Book 2
The general’s war robbed United Earth of a Utopian paradise. Now, a year later, with Allfather bearing
down on an ill-prepared United Earth, a meddling ghost in the walls at UE Headquarters, a religious
renaissance infiltrating the hearts and minds of earth’s populace and a rogue sect leader stirring up
controversy, Chancellor Raymond Bellows finds himself – once again – at a crossroads. The impending
threat of each faction builds to a crescendo when Raymond works to align United Earth to fight their
common foe or risk losing everything they’ve rebuilt to a callous and cruel alien bent on annihilation. Will
United Earth be ready?
Exodus
A.I. Insurrection Book 3
United Earth casts a long shadow of memory across its residents, and those memories are renewed
through every enlightened AI Host who carries them. This haunts some, encourages fear in others and
confirms devotion in many. United Earth, as an idea, gave life to freedoms previously unknown to
humanity, but when the General’s war devastated that trust, and an alien bent on destruction came to
annihilate their civilization, the populace began to question their place in this fallen utopia. Now, six
months removed from the most recent conflict which overwhelmed the people; recognizing they are not
alone in the universe, they seek purpose in their existence more than ever. The lottery would afford them
that, offering hope, one of the most essential requirements in an individual’s arsenal for survival. But
when that hope turns to dread, what is left to accomplish but survival?

Social
Media Collateral and your book
Social
Media Collateral - A message that spreads like a virus by
word of mouth, email, blogs etc. are important visualizations of key
scenes or quotes from your new book. They are essential in offering
your potential reader a glimpse inside the book. Not unlike writing a
summary or your back cover description; Social Media Collateral allow
your intended audience a look inside, in order to determine whether
or not they'd enjoy your new work of fiction.
I've
been using Social Media Collateral for years and have seen
greater interactions via social media (the perfect place to employ
this method) including comments, likes and even shares and sales!
When
my newest trilogy, a Sci-fi space opera, was only entering its second
draft, already I'd been creating Social Media Collateral in
order to build interest. I placed these again when the book is
released on my own pages, as well as related group pages across
multiple networks with links to purchase the book or ebook.
Writing
and marketing go side-by-side and Social Media Collateral tend
to excite your potential buyer through intriguing quotes and
accompanying images. Social Media Collateral can vary in size
and there is no rule to follow when creating one. However, if you
plan to use it as an ad on Facebook, remember not to use too many
words to get your point across. FB ads limit the amount of space the
copy employs on your Social Media Collateral.
Below
are some examples of the Social Media Collateral I'd posted for
the trilogy when it was still months out from being completed.
