Books I've Written
A published author across genres — from literary fiction to applied-AI playbooks for real businesses. Here are my books, newest first.
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.

Who is Stephen Scott? +
I'm a published author who writes across genres — from literary fiction to applied-AI guides for business — with 14+ books to my name. 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.

Two books specifically on AI in network marketing: AI for Network Marketers (2026) — the complete workflow system with 100+ templates — and How To Grow Your Network Marketing Business Using Artificial Intelligence: The Ultimate Guide (2023), which covers AI fundamentals for lead generation and marketing automation.

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.
With 14+ books in print, 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.
