Josephine Rivers is a calculating prodigy with a nearly supernatural ability to look at the world through a purely mathematical lens, even at times predicting the future. After a betrayal by her own family when she’s only 15, she’s kidnapped and taken to China by the sinister Maxima, known as “Madame,” who forces her to use her gift to increase her fortune.

This marks the beginning of our hero’s arduous journey, which sees her moved around Shanghai’s criminal underground as others exploit her gift. Her only close company is older captive Hong Rui, nicknamed “Red,” whose wisdom and support change how she views her own power and teaches her what she needs to survive. Now she’s 17 and working for a wealthy man whose captivating son Kai starts to chip away at her emotional defenses.

She has the fate of the world in her hands, thanks to her unique gifts, but she also craves vengeance against those who’ve wronged her. Can she save the world from a financial collapse and also bring her enemies down? And can she trust Kai enough to let him into her heart?

PRAISE FOR CALCULATED

“An intense and wonderfully complex thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat and turning pages!”
—Jessica Day George, NYT bestselling author of SILVER IN THE BLOOD and the TWELVE DANCING PRINCESSES series

“Calculated is smart with plenty of page-turning action and a brave heroine who is deeply relatable. The timely subject matter is heart-wrenching even as it inspires us to use our gifts to make a difference in the world. Twisty and original, this story will keep readers guessing and hoping to its pulse-pounding end!”
—Lorie Langdon, best-selling author of DOON and OLIVIA TWIST

SIMULATED SYNOPSIS

Jo Rivers, safely back in Seattle, asks the same question daily – how does a math genius go from taking down international criminals and saving the world economy to living a normal teenage life? The only answer she can come up with is—she doesn’t.

With an overprotective father on her back and Kai on the other side of the world, Jo accepts an offer from Prodigy Stealth Solutions (PSS,) who may have found a way to get her gift back. Using a newly developed technology, PSS tries a simulation process on Jo to restore her abilities, but during an underwater simulation, PSS is hacked and a blacklist file containing some of PSS’s most sensitive secrets is stolen. Meanwhile, a mysterious caller who knows more than he should delivers a warning to Jo about Kai, who then goes missing.

Despite her father’s concerns, Jo sets off on a risky trip to Tunisia with a PSS team of teen prodigies to find an urgently needed solution for PSS and locate Kai. All the while, Jo has to trust the mysterious informant who, frighteningly, is like no one she has ever met before.

‍

PRAISE FOR SIMULATED

“You know how you always have suspicions with sequels? Well, don't fret. Because somehow, Simulated was better than Calculated. I know! Who thought that could be possible?  The suspense, plot twists, and action in this book will not leave you disappointed...only wanting more!”
—Drew Taylor, Writer. Reader. Reviewer.

"All of the Mission Impossible action you could hope for, paired with a love triangle that rivals the intensity of Twilight's. Be prepared to choose sides and hold on tight. You're in for one wild ride." 
—Chelsea Bobulski, author of The Wood and Remember Me 

“Brilliantly crafted, this technological thriller delivers punch after punch of heart-pounding action. The fearless heroine and two equally intriguing love interests had me flying through the pages. I’m in love with this series!” 
—Lorie Langdon, best-selling author of the Disney Villains Happily Never After Series

ACTIVATED SYNOPSIS

After her exploits in Tunisia, Jo Rivers knows she’ll never lead a normal life. She also can’t move on until she grasps the unexpected evolution of her mathematical gift and confronts her unresolved feelings after meeting Noble. With Kai undercover, Noble is the only one who has the answers Jo needs. There’s just one small problem: Noble has vanished, leaving only a coded message in the stars.
‍
When Rafael, a friend from Jo’s days in China, goes missing, it coincides with a new PSS assignment involving a potentially catastrophic satellite breakdown. Jo suspects something more sinister is at play and has no choice but to track down Noble, who may be her only hope to find Rafael and prevent global chaos.

Traveling to the perilous Arctic of Finland, Jo and her band of prodigies team up with unlikely allies from her past to find out what or who is interfering with the satellites— before it’s too late. Trusting her gift, Jo follows a path of numbers that light the way…which leads to answers she didn't predict. ‍

PRAISE FOR ACTIVATED

"Where do I start.. I literally could not put this book down. My kids and I have been reading this as our family read a loud and they're begging me to just finish the book tonight. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. It is Mission Impossible meets, Hunger Games, meets the Godfather. So good we laughed and almost cried and definitely each of us has yelled out loud at the fictional characters who don't feel fictional at all. Gosh everyone needs to read this series."
—Brooke, Goodreads reviewer

"Throughout this series, I have been impressed by McBee’s storytelling, particularly in her ability to raise emotional and physical stakes in each installment. Each book stands alone in terms of stellar plotting, while also building a series arc - another rare feat of storytelling. And I can’t say much for fear or spoiling the outstanding ending, but I can say this: I am dying to hear there are more installments planned in this series!"
—Netgalley Review

"If I could rate this ten stars I would!”
—Megan, Goodreads Reviewer

We also expect to engage licenses with the world’s leading distributors who will connect us to the global market of movie and series binge-watchers, now numbering over 4 Billion.

It's very possible this may be the first raise on an equity crowdfunding platform to open up to the general public the opportunity to invest in the development fund for what could be a major-studio released, insured, bank financed*, globally distributed motion picture franchise (*bank financing has not been secured yet).

FINANCING STRUCTURE

You are invited to share in providing the Calculated Sequels’ $15 million development funding ($5 million per picture). A bank’s entertainment department will provide each picture’s estimated $60 million production budget, totaling $180 million.

This structure provides you 110% of your investment from Calculated Sequels’ production financing BEFORE production begins. (You will receive this 110% preferred return in thirds, one-third each time one of the three pictures bank-financed production funding is successfully acquired).

In addition, you will receive your proportional share of 50% of all Calculated Sequels development company's 50% share of the global earnings from every source.

ALL OF THESE TIMES AND AMOUNTS ARE FORECASTS. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GUARANTEE THAT THESE ARE ACCURATE OR INDEED WILL EVER OCCUR.

_{*Ann Peacock, who has been contracted to write Calculated, has a right of first negotiation with respect to the sequels and has verbally indicated to our Manager that she would be interested in writing the screenplay for Simulated, although she is not officially contracted to do so at this point and may not be available to do so in the future.}

John has successfully led the vision, launch and/or expansion of five entertainment and media entities, including Impression delivery Corporation that was subsequently acquired by CapCities, and Entertainment Business Group purchased by the Gillen Group.

John co- founded the highly successful San Diego Repertory Theatre, for which he provided business planning, funding, taught and directed. He executive produced and partially funded his first motion picture, Where's Willy? in 1976, doing many things contrary to his better business judgment.It was a clarifying learning experience.

This led John into international motion picture sales as Controller and then Business Affairs Vice President for global motion picture sales company Howard Goldfarb Distribution. Subsequently, in the same position for Heart Entertainment, he directed the distribution and funding of in-house and client projects and helped measure the value of their pictures' rights and plan their optimal global rights licensing and sales.

In 2018, John’s Simple Little Stories co-ventured with Jason Brents’ Lady of the Lake Studios together with their China distribution relationships, forming OneDoor Studios, each partner company contributing three global, wide-audience projects, three of which are also franchise projects. Shortly thereafter OneDoor Studios brought in their crucial third full-partner, writer, director, editor, cinematographer Stephen Wollwerth, through his 3Gates Films.

John, Jason and Stephen now direct OneDoor Studios, currently developing nearly a dozen independent feature motion pictures and series, while expanding their global sales capacities.
