Hello followers of Pitching Angels. I hope you’ve found my articles on startups and venture capital helpful.

I’m thrilled to announce that my mystery novel, Countdown to Decryption, was published today! If you enjoy my writing and my insights into Silicon Valley, I hope you’ll read my novel. If you enjoy it (and I promise you will!) please tell all your friends.

It’s available on Amazon at:

Countdown to Decryption is a cyberthriller set in Silicon Valley’s Japantown. The hapless hacker, Ted Hara, has to find the password to open a terrorist document he discovers on a murdered friend’s computer. In the process, he uncovers a dangerous government conspiracy.

Kirkus Reviews raves, “A gripping high-stakes drama infused with a dash of humor.” Their verdict: “Get it!” Bestselling author Barry Lancet calls it a, “A heart-pounding romp,” and declares, “Read it,” while the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, Iris Yamashita, says the novel “melds the humor of Silicon Valley with the fast-paced action of a John Grisham thriller.”

Countdown to Decryption is Book 2 in the Japantown Mystery series. The first book in the series, To Kill a Unicorn, was named American Fiction Awards finalist for Best Debut Novel and Best Mystery of 2023, as well as National Indie Excellence Awards finalist for Best Suspense and Best West Region fiction.

Being published by an independent press is a huge challenge. Unlike books from the big publishers, Oprah won’t feature it and the NY Times won’t write a review. Authors have to rely on friends and followers like you to help spread the word.

So please consider ordering a copy of Countdown to Decryption and telling everyone you know.

Thank you!
