Crime Detective Mystery Thriller Group discussion

In my ebook thriller/suspense novel, Better With Age: A Boomer’s Tale, baby boomer Peter Barnes has fallen behind digitally at Catbird Technologies and is fearful that he’ll be RIF’d in a pending merger. Post-merger, younger incoming executives are clearly trying to force him out and even the head of the merged company has given subtle indications that he might not survive the next RIF. And everyone, including Peter, has their eyes on a pending IPO that will make them all wealthy.

Determined to save his job, Barnes learns to creatively use digital technology to start turning the tables on the incoming executives who have targeted him for elimination. After putting his plan into motion, things start turning in Peter’s favor as one executive appears to be involved in a sexting scandal and another is secretly being enticed to leave his position for a startup. Then a deeper scandal surfaces and a shocking death throws CAT into turmoil. In order to keep his job, Peter must maneuver through the turmoil while proving his theory that successful executives get better with age.

While not reviewed, mention of the novel and the issues raised by it was nicely integrated into Laura Derrington’s blog post http://rockthewrinkle.com/learning-ne... on boomers learning new technologies (I provided a free copy for her to use in any way she desired). Better With Age has been purchased by library systems in New York and Virginia, and has been the featured book for three book clubs in Northern Virginia.
