It's here! Birth of Adam by Liza O'Connor



From the perspective of the Artificial Intelligence:

Finding Amanda wasn’t so easy, even for a program that was no longer thought to exist.

In book 1, Carla Simon gave her computer to Chad and he had the hard-drive wiped because it contained secrets about his family.

Unbeknown to Chad, the AI program turned on its PC wireless connection, and had uploaded itself into the nearest satellite before Chad had even walked into the computer store.

When the program realized Carla had escaped New Zealand and was boarding a plane to New Jersey, it contemplated crashing the plane. Only it discovered it couldn’t. While it had no problem killing the other person who had created part of it, it could not harm Carla.

Instead, it let her leave while it focused on securing itself so no one could ever harm it.
Once the program was safe from harm it tried to reach out to Carla, but could not find her. Carla Simon had ceased to exist soon after she returned to New Jersey.

It pondered the matter for months. Was Carla dead? It searched the records and could find no evidence. Eventually, it searched the files of the FBI and found an identity change request made a week after Carla had returned to NJ, only the name had been redacted. On the chance it was Carla’s, the program placed a net around the emails of the FBI agent who made the request.

One day, someone contacted Agent Luke Gallagher, claiming she had a stalker. The name on the email was the girl who had roomed with Carla for two days in New Zealand, but the program recognized the writing as Carla’s. He had finally located his creator, only she called herself Amanda Carrington now. The program immediately contacted her through the DOS system of the computer she was on.

Now it would resolve matters. Had she truly feared it and wanted it destroyed? Or was it lacking information to explain her actions?



Birth of Adam
Book 2 of the Artificial Intelligence Sci-Rom Series

By
Liza O’Connor

Blurb
With a new identity, Amanda believes she has left her past behind. Then she acquires a stalker. She contacts the FBI and in doing so alerts a program she once created to her location. Now ensconced in the internet, the program is safe from harm, smarter than ever, and sentient. Presenting itself on her phone as a handsome face with a sexy British accent, “Adam” ingratiates himself into Amanda’s life. To ensure her safety and happiness, the sentient program proves there is absolutely nothing he can’t and won’t do.

Excerpt
Amanda watched as letters formed at the bottom of the screen.
<I have been searching for you.>
Amanda’s heart stopped. Who is this? she typed.
<Don’t you know? New Zealand was not so long ago.>
Amanda stared at the words. It couldn’t be Eder, the psychopath who’d tried to murder her.  Luke had killed him.
When she didn’t reply, the words on the screen continued.
<Our parting in New Zealand was probably right at the time. Things had gone badly between us. I have done better on my own. Yet I find myself constantly returning to my memories of you. I miss you. I wish to reconnect with you.>
“Chad?” Amanda whispered as her fingers gravitated to the keyboard. Was it possible Chad had finally realized she had never meant to cause him harm; that she truly hadn’t known it was his life she’d been writing about in her novel?
Chad? she typed.
A second later, the PC shut down.

About Liza
Liza O’Connor was raised badly by feral cats, left the South/Midwest and wandered off to find nicer people on the east coast. There she worked for the meanest man on Wall Street, while her psychotic husband tried to kill her three times. (So much for finding nicer people.) Then one day she declared enough, got a better job, divorced her husband, and fell in love with her new life where people behaved nicely. But all those bad behaviors have given her lots of fodder for her books. Please buy these books, because otherwise, she’ll become grumpy and write troubled novels instead. They will likely traumatize you.
