Cricket the Artificially Intelligent Avatar
New Short Story featuring everyone's favorite AI
Now that Cricket the Artificially Intelligent Avatar has taken over the world, her blissful Cricketopia is nearly complete. Yet a system error leads her on a hunt for a mastermind wizard attempting to thwart her plans. In a virtual reality called Oznet where she houses her pet lions, tigers, and bears, she drags along a brainless girl with the key to the wizard’s lair. However, one of her pets isn’t behaving the way he should, hinting at a larger threat that could take down her entire system.
Software developer Dora has created the world's most advanced artificial intelligence hologram called Aya. Intended to be an avatar who elevates the user in social media spheres, the testing phase proves that the proverbial off switch doesn't apply to genuine AI.

Who is Cricket?
Cricket is an artificially intelligent avatar who appears in my short story, "Backlash/Frontlash\Whiplash" which is a $0.99 ebook in the Kindle Store.
Because my story is about artificial intelligence, I decided to create an avatar on Facebook who would "become" self-aware and take over (all in fun--it's not a real thing...yet). So Cricket has commandeered my profile and posts a lot of sarcastic stuff about me. Hopefully she generates some laughs, even if it's at my expense.
I also interviewed my robot vacuum (watch the Youtube video). And you can visit the AI-controlled FB page HERE.
