“The Latch-Key Solution”

a Silicon Valley spooky story for geeks of all persuasions

When software CEO Bruce Whiting is shown a beautiful, fully-furnished, waterfront office, perfect to serve as his start-up’s new headquarters, he’s eager to seal the deal.  There’s just one catch: a band of homeless nuts have taken up residence, and they’re pestering passers-by with ghost stories.  The real-estate agent seems to know them, but she vehemently denies it.  So who are they, really?  Where did they come from?  And why won’t they leave?  Part campy campfire tale, and part biting workplace satire, “The Latch-Key Solution” is a high-tech haunted office story filled with business scheming, betrayals and double-crosses.  The story pokes fun at many of the characters we’ve all worked with, or for, or around; the software glitches that make us crazy; and the ridiculous memes of high-tech biz-speak.  Available now, on Amazon.com, as a Kindle eBook (ISBN: 978-0-9837822-1-6), and coming soon as a full-cast audiobook (ISBN: 978-0-9837822-0-9).

“Amazing work. I love the clear changes of setting. More!” –Matt B.

“Really fun; bears repeat hearings. Congratulations!” –Louise N.
