Mike Trigg was born in Kentucky and raised in Wisconsin. Prior to becoming an author, he was an executive, founder, and investor in dozens of technology start-up companies for over 25 years.

Trigg’s debut novel, the Silicon Valley corporate thriller BIT FLIP, received widespread critical acclaim, with 5-star reviews from Foreword, IndieReader, and the Manhattan Book Review and lauded by the San Francisco Chronicle as a “twisty, acerbic corporate thriller.”

This is probably the most transformative decision I made in my writing -- really transitioning it from a hobby to a professional endeavor. The quality of my first book improved dramatically once I started working with a developmental editor. But really find someone you like and trust. It's a partnership.

Pro tip: many great published authors moonlight as editors, so check the websites of authors you admire as a start.(less)

I describe it as a tragic love story featuring opposite ends of the political and socio-economic spectrum. Shane is the anonymous leader of a populist online movement, and Chloe is a progressive social media celebrity. Encumbered by their dissimilar pasts and sycophantic followers, the two become unexpected conspirators—unleashing catastrophic events beyond their control that may prevent them from ever seeing each other again.

I just finished a comprehensive developmental edit and plan to start submitting it in early 2022.(less)

A Book on Friendship

Andrew McCarthy and me at his signing table at the National Kidney Foundation Authors Luncheon.

I had the opportunity on Sunday to volunteer for the National Kidney Foundation’s 37th Annual Authors Luncheon. It’s a wonderful event that I’ve attended in past years, providing a forum to meet and hear from bestselling authors while raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to address kidney disease—a
