Starting the Startup

When Lucy Riddle and her engineering teammates John and Marcus realize their fintech startup can't possibly build its revolutionary AI platform with just $2 million and twelve months, they conceive an audacious plan: acquire a struggling company that already has the technology they need.

"My First Acquisition" follows this trio of Stanford graduates as they navigate their crash course in corporate dealmaking, transforming from naive programmers into savvy negotiators. As they court NeuralFlow's brilliant but demoralized founders, they must outwit aggressive competitors like ByteFlow, earn the respect of sophisticated players like Dr. Wei's Zhongcai Capital, and survive escalating threats from shadowy financial institutions desperate to maintain their monopoly.

But when corporate espionage turns violent—from surveillance to sabotage to attempted murder—Lucy discovers that dealmaking requires more than spreadsheets and strategic thinking. It demands the courage to risk everything on a vision of democratizing financial technology, and the wisdom to know who to trust when powerful enemies want you dead.

Part Silicon Valley insider tale, part technical thriller, part unconventional romance, "My First Acquisition" demystifies the M&A process while telling the story of three friends who must evolve from coders to corporate warriors to save not just their company, but their lives.

From the author of the beloved Royal Wizard of Yurt series, the first book in a brand-new series. Antonia is the daughter of the head of institutionalized wizardry, and she wants nothing more—or so she thinks at fourteen—than to grow up to be a wizard too: the first woman wizard. But then she discovers that her mother has all sorts of unexpected female cousins who intend her to come be a witch with them, at the same time as she realizes that a lot of the male wizards are highly opposed to letting a mere girl learn their arcane secrets… As she tries to find her own way, she hears the legend of the Starlight Raven, a bird rejected by its own kind because it does not fit in anywhere, whose appearance is a marker either of doom or of unexpected triumph.
