The Stoic King of New York
A Novel
In 1970s Brooklyn, a bartender's son named for a Roman emperor learns to read a room before he can read a clock. Marcus Aurelius has gifts the old men of Bensonhurst have never seen — and a father's quiet Stoic philosophy he learns to read exactly backward: that the art of mastering yourself can be turned, instead, on everyone else. By twenty-two he's handed a kingdom without a drop of blood spilled. What keeping it costs him is the bill the city always meant to collect. A mob saga with the soul of a tragedy — The Godfather by way of Marcus Aurelius.
The Ambitious Network Marketer's Guide to AI
What AI Really Does, What You Should Never Hand Over, and How to Build a Team Without Sounding Like a Robot
The short, standalone guide for people who want to use AI in their business without handing the business over to it. Covers what AI is genuinely good at, the parts of this work that should stay human, and how to write, follow up, and build a team without sounding like a machine wrote it. 165 pages, written to be finished in an afternoon and used the same day. A wholly separate work from AI for Network Marketers, not an abridgement of it.
Co-Writer, Not Ghostwriter
The Craft of Co-Writing with AI — Sharper Ideas, a Stronger Voice, and a Book That Could Only Be Yours
The craft book for writers who are curious about AI but afraid of what it might cost them. Not "write a book with AI" — become a better writer, with sharper ideas and a stronger voice, by treating AI as a true collaborator while your voice stays unmistakably your own. It refuses the write-a-bestseller-in-a-weekend promise and teaches the opposite: a repeatable turn-taking review loop where you stay the author on every line — the machine drafts, argues, researches, and edits; you decide, and nothing reaches the page that isn't yours. Written by a working AI engineer who's published in both fiction and non-fiction, using the exact method it teaches.

Who is Stephen Scott? +
I'm a published author who writes across genres — from literary fiction to applied-AI guides for business. My 2026 debut novel, The Stoic King of New York, reimagines the philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius as a 1970s Brooklyn mob boss. I'm also an AI consultant and full-stack developer, and the founder of Team Build Pro.
What is The Stoic King of New York about? +
The Stoic King of New York is a literary mob saga set in 1970s Brooklyn. A bartender's son named for the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius inherits the philosopher-king's gifts but none of his wisdom, rising to rule his borough with rigor and iron discipline — and learning, too late, what that mastery costs him. It's The Godfather by way of Marcus Aurelius: a crime saga with the soul of a tragedy.
What books have you written about AI and network marketing? +

Do I need to be technical to apply what's in AI for Network Marketers? +
No. The workflows are designed to be implementable with consumer AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude — no coding required. Each chapter includes the exact prompts, message templates, and decision rubrics needed to deploy the workflow within a single session.
How is AI for Network Marketers different from generic AI sales books? +
Generic AI sales books optimize for B2B enterprise pipelines and account-based marketing. AI for Network Marketers is built around the specific dynamics of network marketing: a single distributor managing fluid prospect lists across mixed relationships (warm market, cold contacts, former teammates, hand-raisers), with retention as the primary KPI rather than initial close rate.
Where can I read more about the system before buying? +
The 2026 AI Network Marketing System article summarizes the seven core workflows from AI for Network Marketers and links to detailed field guides for each one.
I write across genres — literary fiction, applied AI, personal development, and business strategy. Different shelves, same instinct: do the deep work, then put something into the world that earns a reader's time.
