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.

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)

Recently, I received a very nice email about my debut novel, Bit Flip. It was a detailed and thoughtfully crafted message, saying the book “really caught my attention,” particularly its “portrayal of the tech world’s seductive illusion and the moral price of ambition” that felt “both timely and deeply personal,” concluding that it was a “truly impressive work!”
