Aleem is a special child with autism and fetal alcohol syndrome. What happens when he gets an Artificial Intelligence Pooka named Harvey? And why would an A.I. want to be the caretaker babysitter for an special needs human? Read and find out.
Between CPS, court custody, a police swatting, a mother on the run, and a father being tossed into the psychiatric ward, things get interesting. Can Harvey guide Aleem through the urban jungle of government secrets, crooked cops aiding human trafficking, and all the other problems in society while staying a secret? This book is suitable for High School and older maturity.
The backstory on this is half are A.I.s all a bad idea with disaster just waiting or not. Also, I was reading the newspaper and other items online; on the same day, NPR also was discussing the horrific statistics of child prostitution with children removed for ‘neglect’ but Child Protective Services. Then the next news cycle was all about how Artificial Intelligence will kill us all. Next thing I know I asked myself what if an A.I. could help a child in need of an imaginary friend? Abracadabra and we have a Pooka named after a Hurricane that hit Houston. After I explained to the other half of the conversation that the Pooka had the name first, I wrote this, which has nothing to do with the movie of the same name.

My eBooks works are also published through Smashwords which is transitioning to Draft2Digital, but I think the reader access and purchasing, even if I am giving coupons out half the time, will still be with Smashwords.com. BTW they are very nice people who are very tolerant of my typos and politely telling me what I need to fix so it will publish correctly.
