Silicon Valley Insider Releases High-Tech Thriller, PRIVILEGED CORRUPTION

Palo Alto, CA

In Silicon Valley, product ideas are stolen every day. Hundreds of millions of dollars of intellectual property and countless hours of R&D lost in a millisecond. It's a high risk, a high reward business, but is it worth risking your life?

As an alumni of some of the world's largest tech companies including Apple and Adobe, the subject matter is close to Ringham's heart. With a background in Developer Relations, she spent a decade helping start-ups and strategic accounts bring products to market. Privileged Corruption marks her debut into the literary world and the book is available on Amazon.com and iBooks.

The story centers around Kate Crawford, a young woman about to make it big as one of Silicon Valley's overnight millionaires. With her hands on a secret new product that will catapult software company Obsidian to rock start status, Kate's future seems set until assigned a new account the week before the IPO. That new account, Fortunato, has a product nearly identical to the one she is about to launch. Exasperating the situation is Fortunato's Logan Sinclair, heir to one of the biggest fortunes in Silicon Valley and the man suspected of having a role in the death of Kate's older sister 20 years earlier.

With millions of dollars on the line, will Kate untangle the web of lies surrounding her sister's death and her own career? A free preview of the novel is available at Ringham's website http://www.ursularingham.com.
