FORECASTING ERROR
LIZ CHARMING starts a new job as VP of Analytics at Glass Analytic Consulting. SEBASTIAN GLASS wants her to develop improved predictions because the Analytic Engine GAC uses is flawed. The analysis just provided to a criminal client, the leader of an African revolt, had massive forecasting errors.
Liz’s new Analytic Engine prototype incorporates simultaneous equations and proves to be far more accurate. Sebastian sells the predictions to both legitimate and less-than-legitimate customers, including international terrorists, Mexican drug cartels and NY mob bosses.
Liz discovers that Sebastian used her AE to help optimally target a VX gas attack on manufacturing plants, killing thousands, and then profiting from the manipulated market. So, Liz steals the AE to stop Sebastian from using her work for any other illegal activity.
How can she fight an international corporate giant like Sebastian Glass? He has contacts and resources worldwide and will stop at nothing to get the AE back in time to carry out another attack.

About the author
Michael Grigsby
3 books99 followersI've worked in the corporate world of marketing analytics for over 20 years. My PhD is in marketing science (and no, that is NOT an oxymoron).
I've published two non-fiction books, Marketing Analytics and Advanced Customer Analytics. Marketing Analytics has also been translated into Chinese and Polish (yes, Polish.) I used those texts in teaching my graduate school classes.
My first novel, SEGMENT OF ONE, is an analytic thriller that uses marketing analytics as a plot device which seemed unique, exciting, and very fun.
My second novel, MISSING VALUES, is another analytic thriller, this time about human trafficking and how to stop it with marketing science.
My third novel, FORECASTING ERROR, is an analytic thriller with a large dose of action / adventure.
