Suckers Forever‪!‬

After everything goes wrong at her sales event bordering Saginaw Bay, Ava gets in deep with a man of the sea.
The only thing more troubling than the pattern of circles on the undersides of his arms is the guy's mother and her connection with an out of this world artificial intelligence who really, really wants to use its program to upgrade Ava's brain. Take a short trip to a Great Lake in this humorous 15,000-word novelette where hearts intertwine and worlds collide.
