"Can't separate paths, despite their divergent courses, convey their unwary travellers to the same destination?" — SJ
GundTech transformed the world of communications when it introduced the multiCom with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) personality at its core. Now, the reclusive former child prodigy who created the AI programming is about to unleash a technological revolution that could threaten the very fabric of society.
Cameron Rush and Rosa Costas are best friends, even though they have never met in person. Cameron is from a small town in Wisconsin, while Rosa lives on a ranch in New Mexico. They are typical fifteen-year-olds living in their isolated worlds of family, school and friends.
Meagan Fletcher, the technology reporter for the World Broadband Network, doesn't trust her multiCom and she trusts GundTech even less. The young reporter is on a mission to expose the reclusive genius behind GundTech and discover the computer company's true intent.
They are innocent travellers, heading down separate paths, oblivious to their final destination and the dangers that lie ahead.

I grew up in small Wisconsin towns. Due to my father's work, I attended two grade schools and three high schools. I have fond memories of each.
I have always loved reading science fiction. In fact, the first book I remember checking out from the library on my own was The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth. When I was a little older, it was André Norton's Catseye.
The first book I ever bought from the Scholastic Book Club was Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for a whopping 35¢. I still have that book and was so proud to have bought it with my own money that I saved the order form inside the book.
The Hardy Boys turned me on to mysteries and Mark Twain to humor. I really didn't read many superhero comic books. I preferred The Phantom and Uncle Scrooge adventures.
My high school and college reading took me into Robert Heinlein and Michael Crichton. Authors such as Philip Pullman and J. K. Rowling brought me back to reading YA fiction.
I spent the first fifteen years of my adult life as a theater designer, director, actor, and playwright and I taught at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse and Arizona State University.
With the introduction of the Macintosh computer, I moved into graphic design and computer education. I created the interface and more than 600 educational programs for the EduNet Network, and hosted live educational broadcasts into K-12 classroom across the country. I have also written nearly 900 video scripts for Pearson Education.
